    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @timelwell7002
    @timelwell7002 6 месяцев назад

    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.

  • @HeavyBells

    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.

    • @ChrisTopherBunnell
      @ChrisTopherBunnell Год назад

      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.

      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.

      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.
