I own five electric guitars…the Caribou is my absolute favorite. My main guitar was a Gretsch Hot Rod before I bought the Caribou. Now I play the Caribou above all the others. I plan on getting a Paloma next.
I own 9 guitars, ranging between $800USD and $4100USD. My Duesenberg Falken has Split King (coil split/tap) pickups in both the neck and bridge, and is absolutely wonderful.
I have a Gretsch duo jet but I’ve always loved the look of Starplayer tv. I was thinking of getting a duesenberg either a Paloma or Starplayer tv but I feel like the Starplayer may be a bit too similar to my duo jet
I’ve got a Starplayer TV as a gift for my self last Christmas! It’s like playing an Hi-Fi guitar! Fender, Ibanez and Gibson make good guitars. Duesenberg make Hi-Fi guitars 😀😀😀😀
After years of Brand hopping and ultimately settling in a couple of favorites, the Starplayer TV is THE best guitar I ever played. Period. I don’t want to upset any G Brand fan or anything like that, but I have owned and tried 3-4K hollow body guitars that didn’t even came close to a 2,5K Duesy. I know people are very brand biased and that’s fine but here’s the thing: the Starplayer TV was the last guitar I ever bought and I sold 3 guitars from my collection after that. This is probably the last guitar many of us will ever buy. Cheers Peach Guitars and great playing demos as always.
@@Frederobalso wondering this as they have the same pick up configuration. Difficult to compare in this video because he is playing and using different effects each time
I can concurr with that. My other guitars feel a little lost and o erlooked since this flashy Custom TV filled up the ranks ... Simply too many sound to detect and dive in to. Brilliant. This black and golden puppy will never leave my house no more.
I got a Mike Campbell Starplayer model about a year ago, and it struck me how very different it is. I'm a Tele guy but I also play a Les Paul. I play sitting down at home and the Les Paul always feels a bit small for me, even though I like the sound and the playabilty in general. Feels great stinding but sitting the body feels small. (I'm a big guy at 6'4") The Duesenberg reall felt comfortable size-wise immediately. It's shaped like a Les Paul but it's body is bigger, and it's a great fit for me. The feel of the neck and the playabilty is quite different than what I'm used to, but I quickly warmed up to it, and now it's fighting my Tele for the number one position of which guitar I naturally go to first. I have to make a conscious effort to rotate the Duesy and the Tele. That's saying a lot.
Love this. Very useful video and some incredible playing from Jack who really does these guitars justice. Nice work mate, you’ve just gained Peach Guitars a new subscriber… And I’m now in the market for a Duesenberg guitar to add to the collection.💪😎
Thanks Jack I've been waiting for you to demo these, I like really like Caribou. I have a 50's strat and looking for something a bit different that will rock and can take on a Les Paul.
Lovely video as usual. If I'm not wrong,they just finishing (PLEK ETC...) in Germany but the most of the production is located in Croatia. Anyway great guitars and great channel.
Thanks for all the info. If I may make an observation about the demos of each guitar, whilst I understand that a lot of people only EVER play screaming rock solos with as much distortion and overdrive as they can possibly get, this tells you *little or nothing* about the intrinsic tonal characteristics of the guitar. Whereas, if you stick to playing clean tones - ESPECIALLY if played fingerstyle - this tells you FAR MORE than all the 'hot licks' used by Metallica, Black Sabbath, etc. The Revenend Club King 290 is also constructed with a Spruce top - clearly the guys at both Revenend and at Duesenberg had the same great idea - and with the same excellent results. My guess is that the nearest brand to Duesenberg would be Gretsch. I notice that among worship bands (Hillsong, etc.) the weapon of choice of most of their guitarists is usually either a Gretsch or a Duesenberg - and they get great guitar sounds out of these, predominantly using clean tones with perhaps some reverb pedals and/or delay pedals.
I have had the opportunity to try out a few different models now and I really enjoyed the overall sound and feel. The one thing that would take it up a notch would be if they put better inlays on the guitars than the boring old dots. Seems like an easy way to class it up more. Nice guitars otherwise!
With inlays it isn't a matter of the more the merrier. There are many super high end guitar makers that go subtle on inlays on purpose. Like Collings. Some people believe it's a travesty to take a piece of gorgeous expensive wood with beautiful grain and then carve out parts of it for inlays! I much prefer no inlays at all. Not even dots.
Aren’t this long scale on a LP style body hard and disappointing to play ? I am in between t this model and the Caribou …thanks for your answer and help 🙏🎸🥰
My guess is the pickup style in the bridge. TV Jones is a U.S. guitar pickup manufacturer in Poulsbo, Washington. Best known for manufacturing vintage-style Filter' Tron pickups, TV Jones pickups attempt to recreate the sound of vintage Gretsch guitars by using American-made materials and a manufacturing process similar to what was used in the late 1950s and 1960s by Gretsch. The company was founded in 1993 by guitarist and luthier Thomas V. Jones in Whittier, California.
Hmm I usually have to shop online so very consistent brands are attractive to me rather than other companies where you have to try a few to find a good one
I love Jack. I'll watch him play all day. Nothing wrong with Duesenberg, but those prices are high for a product manufactured in Korea and and assembled in Germany.
Well. Any guitar of that value needs to be loved and cherised. If you do not, indeed spend it elsewhere. I for a fact I never played any Gibson, Fender, PRS or Gretch with this quality, sound specifics, tonal finesse and range. But hey. Pls look elsewhere so my Duesey love will remain a little bit special ... :-)
agree, but that's not even the worst part - the worst part of this is that they have consistently hidden the fact that they get produced in Korea. I have nothing against guitars produced in Korea, I own a great G&L Tribute and a great Reverend Jetstream 390 but G&L and Reverend are honest about the country of origin and this is why I will never buy a Duesenberg again (I had a Starplayer TV and a 49er).
Düsenberg is a bit like a fancy watch or a luxury car. It's a quality product, but also an ornamental object, with metal tone and volume knobs and so on. In contrast a charvel superstrat sounds and plays great but it's one colour, plastic knobs and less visually refined
I REALLY wanted to love my Caribou since Pete Honore loves his. Sadly I just couldn't get used to the crazy neck dive. Oh well, great review playing as always.
A good strap took care of the nose-dive on my Caribou. I use a Duesenberg leather strap and it keeps the guitar in place. Too bad you parted with yours.
@@tomireunanen8033 mine came with one of those. I have other good straps as well. Doesn't counteract the questioning of their engineering that none of my other dozen guitars suffer this issue.
I found out about these while looking for a Gretsch with coil tap(s) and a bigsby. Found the Falken at guitar center for $3500 and went home to order a used one for $2600.
I heard the same, so is that the case assembled in Germany made in Korea? Apparently out of the same factory as Eastwood and a few others. If that is the case makes these way to expensive.
This is what Capt Anderton had to say about this thing on their YT-channel: "OK - I have the definitive answer re whether or not Duesenberg Guitars are made in Korea or not. Duesenberg Guitars are 100% made in Hannover, Germany. The origins of the Korea rumour started 7-8 years ago when a guitarist mag MISTAKENLY printed a review saying that Duesenberg Guitars were made in Korea & assembled in Germany. This was incorrect. However, there are still several forums (including up until recently one on Thomanns web site!) that still mention this incorrect statement. I'm am hopeful that Duesenberg will shortly release some factory footage from Hannover that will finally put these rumours to bed."
Not. Built and assembled in Germany. True Story. A Music magazine got that wrong, and it stuck since then. Why does everybody blab stuff without checking facts.
I think all the woodworking, etc., is still done at Mirr Music in Korea. Same place as Reverend I believe. Then they are Pleked in Hannover. Some of these even look like Reverends. I had been wanting a Mike Campbell model for a while but opted against it because I felt Dusenberg wasn't being straightforward. For the same USD price, I bought a Vintage Select MIJ Gretsch which is one of the best sounding, playing and fit/finish guitars I have - and I have a few.

I want to get a Reverend soon, they don't lie about country of production and they are cool guitars with great hardware EDIT: Got myself a Jetstream 390, a really great guitar built in Korea in high quality
@@EnmandsBand1 Fair enough. But I haven't heard any more trustworthy evidence about them being made in Korea either. It has always been something like "I heard from a guy who knows a guy who is in a band with a drummer who says they are made in Korea" There still hasn't been any evidence to prove that claim either.
@@tomireunanen8033 yes it's really annoying that we can't get the final answer to this!! What I need is something as simple as a factory tour video, that would end all discussions.

Wtaf, it's only different build and different pickups than Gretsch so no idea what you're talking about. I have a Gretsch Electromatic and a Duesenberg Caribou, the Duesenberg is higher quality but also more expensive, sound and playability is very different. I mean Duesenberg at least try to do their own thing compared to Shijie which build actual copies of other brands, so i really don't know what point you're trying to make.
@@Zwidawurzn When I talk about Gretsch guitars, I am not referring to their entry level Electromatics.,but to their Professional Series and Custom Shop instruments. I am sure that the more affordable Streamliner and Electromatics are good quality as well. As for Shijie, yes they do build mostly Strat and Tele style guitars. So does Suhr and a hundred other guitar builders. Unlike Suhr, however, Shijie gives the buyer an instrument of at least equal, if not better, quality of a Suhr or even some Fenders for considerably less cost. As for your Duesenberg, let's just hope that you get at least what you paid for it when you go to sell it.
Which of their guitars are not made in Germany and what is your proof? I own a Paloma and it’s the finest guitar I own or have owned and I own and have owned some very nice pieces.
Guy in the band vintage explosion on the song a change is gonna come is where I learned about these guitars the Tone is awesome I think of a Gibson 335 and the Gretsch country gentleman had a baby is it what would sound like if you don’t play it and you want to see the guitar just google vintage explosion a change is gonna come and watch him closely get some beautiful tone of the guitar
@@John-pp8qv really? I still can't find any information anywhere about the production country of Duesenberg guitars, they have been hiding it for 20+ years now!
The wood is made in South Korea and any Gotoh parts are made in South Korea. The rest is manufactured in Germany and everything is assembled and Plek'ed in Hanover Germany. However, It looks like South Korea's work may have moved to Croatia.

@@Frederobalso wondering this as they have the same pick up configuration. Difficult to compare in this video because he is playing and using different effects each time
Great overview of Duesenberg line. Thanks...Startplayer TV my favorite
I just love my Duesenberg Paloma. I've got purchased a tuxedo black one. Aside from the lovely precise feel and tones, it looks fabulous.
Got a Dbl Cat and want a Starplayer. Gotta say you did a great job playing these beauties. Thank you!
Correct, play a Duesenberg and you immediately feel what they've got going. No way back for me. And I play high gain on a CC. Massive sound.
I own a Starplayer TV Custom and its the best guitar i've ever played. I love it!
Same! After I bought it, sold several other guitars!
@Vince Schröder Totally!
I can concurr with that.
My other guitars feel a little lost and o erlooked since this flashy Custom TV filled up the ranks ...
Simply too many sound to detect and dive in to.
Brilliant. This black and golden puppy will never leave my house no more.

The Sascha Paeth signature Alliance series which is a modded Paloma is absolutely stunning!
I've been looking for a video on that particular model. Seems interest isn't big enough for any retailer to present it sadly.
Great looking and sounding guitars. Your playing elevates it. Best demo that I've seen of Dueseys. The Dr. Z amp helps.
Excellent presentation of the Duesenberg range; thank you!
The sound on all of these guitars is great 👍🏻
Anybody who knows the name of music 8:38 ? for me it sounds like Nirvana at first but I think it's different
Beautiful guitars and wonderful sounding instruments as well. Too many guitars...not enough money.

My thoughts exactly, when I found my Starplayer
With inlays it isn't a matter of the more the merrier. There are many super high end guitar makers that go subtle on inlays on purpose. Like Collings. Some people believe it's a travesty to take a piece of gorgeous expensive wood with beautiful grain and then carve out parts of it for inlays! I much prefer no inlays at all. Not even dots.
Dots sound better tho
Don't like PRS for the inlays....
I definitely like the sound of the Paloma the best
Well, we know what your pedals sound like. Really would be nice to hear clean tones on each.
Totally agree.. great overdriven tones... but when you show off a range... you must show both clean & overdrive imo ...
Beautiful guitars, beautiful guitarist and amazing playing Jack! 🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸
