Duesenberg Starplayer TV - Red Sparkle

High-Octane Stage Presence Meets Precision German Craftsmanship

The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the iconic Duesenberg Starplayer TV in a striking Red Sparkle finish. Designed for guitarists who want to command the spotlight without sacrificing an ounce of tonal sophistication, the Red Sparkle model pairs a deep, high-gloss metallic top with cream body binding and dark trans-black back and sides for an unmistakable visual statement.

Built with an arched laminated spruce top and flamed maple back and sides, the Starplayer TV delivers an acoustically open, highly articulate semi-hollow resonance. An internal solid sustain block provides rock-solid feedback control under cranked tube amps and high-gain drive pedals, while the full 25.5” scale length ensures crisp string action, punchy low end, and impeccable tuning stability.

The Sanctuary Take: "The Red Sparkle finish has an incredible depth to it—it catches stage lighting like a classic custom drum kit. Combined with the noise-free neck Domino P90 and the PAF-style bridge humbucker, this guitar delivers the perfect balance of bold visual flair and versatile, high-end performance."

Dual-Engine Versatility & Proprietary Hardware:

• Domino P90 & GrandVintage Humbucker: Features a noise-free Domino P90 single-coil in the neck for warm, transparent cleans, paired with a GrandVintage Humbucker in the bridge for punchy, harmonic-rich overdrive.
• Custom Middle-Position Wiring: The heavy-duty 3-way toggle switch incorporates a passive frequency filter in the middle position, trimming specific low frequencies to yield a chimey, acoustic-like rhythm tone.
• Diamond Deluxe Tremola: Ultra-smooth needle-bearing vibrato system featuring a 360° rotating arm, engineered for frictionless pitch bends and dependable return-to-pitch accuracy.
• Precision Plek Factory Setup: Factory Plek-processed Indian rosewood fretboard guarantees perfectly leveled frets, dangerously low action, and zero fret buzz right out of the custom case.
• Concealed Z-Tuners: Heavy-duty nickel tuners allow string ends to be hidden internally inside the tuner shaft, protecting your gig bag and hands from sharp wire ends.
