The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the updated 2026 Duesenberg Starplayer TV DLX in the stunning new Catalina Green Burst finish.
For 2026, Duesenberg has refined one of their most graceful and iconic instruments. Alongside the introduction of the high-class Catalina Green Burst, the Starplayer TV DLX receives a crucial tonal update: it is now equipped with two classically wound Grand Vintage Humbuckers. Controlled via an elegant 3-way rotary pickup selector discreetly positioned on the upper cutaway horn, alongside streamlined volume and tone controls, it delivers an intuitive, versatile playing experience spanning rich clean tones to biting overdrive.
Long-standing hallmarks of the DLX lineage remain front and center—including the iconic twin f-holes, transparent floating pickguard, distinctive diamond fretboard inlays, and luxurious 5-ply multi-binding, solidifying its status as a true crown jewel of German lutherie.
Sanctuary Expert Note
"The Starplayer TV DLX has always been the peak of Duesenberg elegance, but the 2026 pickup layout shift to dual Grand Vintage Humbuckers elevates its sonic versatility. It offers an incredible blend of classic humbucking warmth and crystalline clarity, making it an ideal centerpiece for studio session players, worship leaders, and touring guitarists who demand flawless pitch stability from the Radiator Tremolo."
