- Duesenberg Guitars presents: “The Making of a Dream Guitar”
A never-before-seen tour through our very own production process.
Duesenberg was founded in 1986 by Dieter Gölsdorf, who had gathered extensive experience in guitar hardware design in the decades prior. He created Duesenberg on the idea of outstanding tone, roadworthy reliability and unique design, and the company has become very successful in following this vision ever since.
The tour begins in Croatia, where our Duesenberg preproduction facility resides in the charming 17th century city of Varazdin. It is here where we begin the journey that follows our instruments through the long and detailed manufacturing process with our exceptional Duesenberg production team.
Woodwork is still mainly done by hand with the support of our custom-built CNC machines. This ensures the consistent quality throughout the build process. The unique and high-quality Duesenberg finishes are the testimony of our exceptional paint and polishing departments, where each instrument is cared for by hand in maintaining the standards of perfection.
The instrument is then shipped off to the Duesenberg Headquarters in Hannover, Germany, where our skilled team of craftsmen is tasked with routing the guitar blank for electronics and pickup cavities, as well as levelling the frets with the help of the company owned Plek machine.
Our expert team of master luthiers then begins the process of hand assembling the instruments. After every aspect is fine tuned to perfection our team prepares the instruments to be shipped off to customers all around the world.

/// THREE STEPS AHEAD - Видеоклипы
I'm retired from Warner Bros. Television in Burbank, California. I can say this is a "WELL PRODUCED" video. Top notch, production value! I enjoyed the video! Greetings from Hollywood, California!
Another American job stolen from open borders
I am living in Chiang Mai Thailand and though I’ve run across many great guitarists here it is a bit of a guitar desert when it comes to quality instruments. Of course you can import but with import tax and duty approaching 30%. Amazingly, I was able to locate what was the only Duesenberg in Thailand at the time. I was happy to pay a new price for a like new Duesenberg Double Cat in black but without the extra $1,000 for shipping and duty which made it affordable for me. I absolutely love my Double Cat! Being an ex career violin maker, I really appreciate your attention to detail from all of your skilled and dedicated luthiers. Fantastic!!! Thank you Duesenberg !!!
Now I'm even more proud for owning a Duesenberg Starplayer TV, because it is preproduced in my country
I just found out too !!
Same here 💪🏻
me also because im from Varazdin :)
Next level guitar building for these guitars, They are the Rolls Royce of guitars.
Except nothing but perfection.
so basically all Dusenbergs are "custom" shop guitars. this vid really makes me wanna get one 😇
Agree. That s ultimately what we re getting ...
this video is incredibly well made. I purchased my first Duesenberg Starplayer TV+ a few weeks ago and have so much appreciation to the production quality. It's an instrument that inspires me and for that, I'm grateful. BRAVO to the entire team that put this together. I'm your newest fan!! :)
It is by far the highest quality guitar I've ever owned .
Zivjeli Hrvatski Majstori :-) Pozdrav svima Nikola
Well, I guess this puts to bed the debate about where Duesenbergs are made.
A few years ago Dusenberg stated the bodies and necks came from Asia and they are put together in Germany.
Würde ich immer wieder kaufen!!!!! 💪👍 I love my Duesenberg!!!
I bought my black Starplayer TV back in 2004, and I still get stunned by it's beauty every time I open the case. After 19 years, it has developed a unique mojo, and I am so grateful to Duesenberg for bringing these amazing guitars into the world.
do you have any pics? got one from 2015 wondering how it will age - cheers!
@arnold1412 Don't have any pics that I can link to, but I'm sure yours will age very well. The binding on mine has gone a little bit more yellow, and the nickel hardware is a bit darker. But it's nothing unpleasant and gives it more character. It sounds so much better than brand new ones in the shops, though. Has a kind of mellowness about it.
@@mr.s5333 that's amazing, was wondering if it will age nicely, sometimes I wish it was nitro but I guess the pur lacquer will protect it bit more :).
I love my Duesenbergs even more now... thanks
A couple of years ago I thought of buying an ES 335. My son who's a professional musician suggested I look at a Duesenberg which I had never heard of other than the cars. I became intrigued with the Gran Majesto but also fell in love with the looks of a butterscotch Caribou. I bought them both. Such quality. Even the cases are the best I've ever had. Sign
Best guitar I own. Perfect intonation and playability. Love it! Very inspirational ❤🔥
I'm the proud owner of 3 Duesenberg models (Falken, Joe Walsh Alliance, Double Cat). Seeing the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into these guitars is inspiring. You make amazing instruments.
A masterpiece😲
I bought my 2015 blue sparkle Starplayer TV from the Guitar -Place in Germany. What blew my mind, is that I got it less than 24 hours after I purchased it. From Aschaffenburg Germany to NC in one day! With that said, it is one of my favorite guitars. It plays easily, stays intonated and the trem is the smoothest you'll ever play. The Grand Vintage HB is a fantastic sounding pickup.
Quite a few years now that I went in for a Gibson and came out with a Duesenberg CC. Absolutely love it. So dynamic and inspirational.
We were honored to have been a key dealer for these incredible instruments for several years. Super video and the narrator!!
Thank you for finally coming clean about the Croatian production, we have waited for 20+ years for this!
Just bought a Paloma last week. What a freaking dream. You guys are masters.
Waiting for my Duesenberg Starplayer TV Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar - Vintage Orange on back order. Love my Fairytale lap steel I just received!
I own the Falken for a reason
Wonderful job!! so grateful to be able to watch this process from start to finish. I have been the proud owner of a Caribou for around 5 years and it is my desert island guitar. Would love to also pick up a Starplayer!!
No wonder they all play brilliantly. I own two and love the consistent feel they both have.
I bought my Session Man Duesenberg last October and it's amazing! Cheers DG!!
I live in Hannover, I own a Düsenberg and my flat was visible in the video. couldn't be happier at this point :D
You guys blow my mind 🤯what a beauty blue girl
With the exception of the few, other guitar makers are now on notice. this is what it takes to make a great guitar and we the players demand and expect no less. I'm personally a little late to the show but since getting my Fullerton stardust just a short time ago I've become a fan. great video, great guitar...
This is the best making of video I've ever seen. Although Duesenberg guitars are not really my kind of guitars (I'm kind of 80s superstrat fan) I admire the quality of the product.
Amazing video. I love your guitars and will get one someday.
My Starplayer TV Hollowbody is happy to see its origin. Thanks Andy for a great setup.
Beautiful video work - kudos to the team!
I just can’t help buy one now, I mean now !
The first time I ever heard of Duesenberg was when I had the good fortune to talk to Robbie McIntosh backstage at a John Mayer concert. He was very complimentary of the brand. (And a very nice guy to boot.)
Underrated guitar brand. They made guitars with unique character like Falken the bad ass guitar 👌
What an awesome company and process! im glad I own a Duesenberg Starplayer TV Outlaw.
Such wonderful instruments. 🎸
The best ad of guitar I'vs seen ever! Cant wait for trying one!
I've been considering a number of ‘ big brand’ hollow bodied electric guitars. I already own a lovely Guild Starfire. After watchingnthis video I'm convinced that my money is going to be best spent on a new TV from these guys at Hannover!!
21:34
This is rad!
I own two Starplayers since 2011 or 2012. After this Video and seeing the process how they are made, I value them even more. These are very solid made instruments and a pleasure to play. Even after 10 years of playing, nothing gets worse on these guitars. Try one out to see what I mean.
Got my " Catalina Sunset Rose " Starplayer TV last year ... now to find pre-production is done in Croatia .... even better !! Love it .. : )
That´s a wonderful finish!
Absolutely beautiful ! They aren’t cheap. They are some of the nicest guitars made.
I am lucky to own a Duesenberg for 10 years now. The neck is really perfect.
Since I bought my Bonneville back in 2018 it´s my no.1 - thanks a lot guys for that great guitar!
Fantastic guitars! 🤩👌
Thanks for the tour! Great stuff.
Gran Majestro owner here. Nothing short of fabulous.
love the gran majesto best semi hollow guitar ever made
Perfect guitars. I have a Mike Campbell StarPlayer so I just imagine that was mine being built
This video just might be one of the greatest videos I’ve ever watched.
The day I’ll become a proud owner of The One guitar I fell in love with, that day, hopefully, comes soon. Not a minute too soon…
Looking forward to becoming a full part of the Duesenberg family!
Love, respect and admiration from Croatia!
😎❤️🎸
Did you get one?
Beautiful work ❤ Kudos to the team and much gratitude for your care in building these instruments for life
That is one beautiful guitar. I can really appreciate all the hard work and attention to detail that goes into it!
Senior ‘52: the best neck in the range !
Classy! Bought my Starplayer 'Rebound' a couple of years ago - exquisite instrument and great for writing as well as playing . . . excellent video, learnt a lot about the process!
Looking seriously now at a Dues…. Glad you do lefty versions.
Seems like a quality piece.. going to try one today and see if it speaks to me…
Amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed that. Absolutely love my 2018 Starplayer TV. Brilliant work!
I got this recommended to me while on vacation in Croatia. Duesenburgs are awesome!!!
Wonderful video. Now we can finally put to rest the issue of where Duesenbergs are made. (Not that I care... I would love to own one!). Beautiful guitars.
The question is where they always made in Croatia or did they move from South Korea to Croatia the last years?
Really good video showing just what goes into these fine instruments... my Starplayer beautiful as it is wasn't finished very well in Germany though the Croatian aspects was top notch (give the guys some PPE and Duesenberg work clothing). Duesenberg guitars are wonderful...don't let your standards drop as production increases.
Even more proud to be the owner of a Starplayer TV now. Amazing video.
this was such a satisfying watch.... now I to buy one of these beauties !!!
Amazing tool, amazing video.
so good!
Gorgeous
mesmerising
Fenomenal ❤🔥
¡Qué belleza!
What a process! And we players are unaware of it.
Awesome work
Awesome vid. Sometimes I will own one of those beautiful
babies.
Great craftsmen, nice guitars and cool music from Heinz Rebellius. I want a Starplayer but can’t find any Deusenbergs in stock in Central Florida.
Thanks for the nice comments!
I’m going to buy mine off of Reverb. Always scary buying an instrument off the Internet.
Excellent and awesome guitars
I now know why my starplayer TV is such an incredible instrument. What a brilliant video!
Loves this video, and now loves my Starplayer TV+ even more. 🖤💜❤
I 🖤 my OUTLAW 🤘 and this amazing video 👌👏. Thanks 🙏
I've owned my Palermo for over a year now and it's an absolute keeper. Makes other manufacturers custom shop productions seem rather ordinary. Everything about this guitar has a touch of class
I had to grab my Duesenberg right after watching this amazing video. So great instrument.
I love my Duesenberg Triton
Nice!
Bought my limited edition candy red Caribou in Paris in 2017, and it’s the best guitar I’ve ever owned. Love the video. Thank you for producing such amazing instruments.
Awesome video, awesome guitar!!
Many I respect love these instruments perhaps I will own one at some time
I will save up to buy one of these! Duesenberg! 😍
Great doc on making of a Duesenberg. Proud owner of a double cat 🤘🎸🤘
very dedicated people ,also good voice , perfect english , inteligent guitar music on the backround , nice colours of the guitars , ( lively) and good guitars !
Still rocking my DMC since 2010. It's been my trusted go to guitar whenever I play out.
Espectacular, gran vídeo. Y como tal publicidad de vuestro trabajo me habéis despertado interés por este instrumento y tal vez lo compre que es lo importante. Great Job!
I love the use of the rule of three concept in the designs. Such a clever touch!
Esteja alerta para as regras dos três
O que você dá, retornará para você
So nice
Have a Senior. Love it!
A beautiful guitar, the Senior is perfection in its simplicity.
Nice guitar Brad, I'm envious. 👍
Um sonho, um grande e distante sonho... 😢
Wow! One day. I’ll own one.
Sold! I'll take two please.
I love my Starplayer TV Deluxe. My best playing guitar.
I wanted one, now I Neeeed one!
Freaking awesome video. Makes me want to get my hands on one. It almost looks too perfect though. I’d be afraid to play it.
❤
Wow….I wished I owned one 😊
For me-the only thing left is to find a dealer within driving distance. Well produced video on a guitar soon to be added to my collection!
I saw Joe Walsh playing a Starplayer TV in mother of pearl finish on Live From Daryl's House. Most beautiful guitar I've ever seen.
