There was a time when the marketing execs in the electric guitar business looked to auto designers to gain inspiration for new guitar designs. This was when - at the end of the 50's - the V-shaped design was created, which is probably the sleekest and most consistently styled guitar shape ever conceived. The Duesenberg Rocket pays its own special tribute to its predecessor, but takes the classic rock look to an all new and improved level.
Duesenberg innovations like Z Tuners, three-step Art Deco design elements and powerful hardware and electrics with Grand Vintage and Crunchbucker pickups leave no room for doubt: this V guitar is unmistakably Duesenberg. It comes, in addition, with a classy Duesenberg Tremola for serious V-twang.
