The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the updated 2026 Duesenberg Starplayer TV in the striking new Gold Burst metallic finish.
For the 2026 lineup of their celebrated flagship semi-hollowbody, Duesenberg introduces a bold metallic multi-color Flake and Burst expansion. The Gold Burst finish blends classic elegance with a modern edge, designed to catch the light from every angle. Beneath the finish, the 2026 Starplayer TV incorporates key mechanical and aesthetic refinements, including the completely redesigned and retooled Sapphire Deluxe Tremola for exceptionally smooth pitch control, an upgraded metal D logo on the headstock, and fresh color accents on the redesigned pickguard and pickup frames.
Crafted with a spruce top paired with flamed maple back and sides, the Starplayer TV continues to set the benchmark for tonal clarity, dynamic response, and rock-and-roll versatility. Complete with a Duesenberg Custom Line Hardcase and official Certificate of Authenticity.
