Solid-Body Construction

Beautifully contoured body made from Alder. Solid-Body constructions deliver instant response, a lot of attack and sustain and perfect feedback resistance.
Alder is a popular tone-wood known for its bright voice and versatility.

Split/King Pickups

Two Split/King pickups are capable of producing real singlecoil and real humbucker tone.
You can select modes with the switches on the lower brushed aluminium pickguard.

Icon for Duesenberg Plek Service

Plek Processed

A pleked fretboard guarantees perfectly level frets. This is the basis for our fret polishing and setup work all done by hand that eventually makes our instruments play like nothing you have ever played before.

THE PALOMA CUSTOM IS THE JACK OF ALL TRADES.

A custom three pickup layout featuring two Split/King Duo-Coil pickups, as well as the Duesenberg Pearlito Singlecoil in the middle position deliver outstanding flexibility in shaping your personal tone. The new 5-way switch and two mode-select switches for the Split/King pickups open up a vast world of tonal choice.

All of that is topped off by our acclaimed Diamond Deluxe Tremola, exclusive Duesenberg Wing fretboard inlays, overall gold hardware and a beautifully shaped body contour.

THE SPLIT/KING IS NOT THE SPLITTABLE PICKUP YOU MIGHT EXPECT.

The innovative coil concept of extending a real singlecoil to a full humbucker with a fine-tuned seperate coil enables you to access both pickup sounds with the flick of a switch. The Split/King actually houses a real, full-size singlecoil pickup that can stand on its own compared to your regular split humbucker.
This pickup is the pinnacle of our own component design and delivers a maximum of versatility.

IT'S NOT JUST THREE PICKUPS - IT'S FIVE.
