2014 Duesenberg Starplayer TV (No F-Hole) - Catalina Blue

This 2014 Duesenberg Starplayer TV is the harder-to-find "No F-Hole" edition, finished in Catalina Blue with a cream back and sides. If you haven't played this specific version before, it has a totally different feel and cleaner aesthetic than the standard model.

Even though it uses a semi-acoustic construction internally with a center block, sealing the top entirely means it acts, drives, and handles high gain exactly like a solid body guitar. The neck features a comfortable D profile and a longer 25.5-inch scale length, giving the strings plenty of snap and tension. This version also gets factory upgrades like a solid nickel pickguard and the cutout Radiator Tremolo, which operates with incredible smoothness.

For electronics, it pairs a Grand Vintage humbucker in the bridge with a PH90 Single Twin in the neck. The PH90 is great because it retains all that fat, punchy P90 clarity but uses a split-coil design to completely eliminate single-coil hum. It is a rare, beautifully engineered workhorse that bridges the gap between vintage style and rock-solid modern performance. Includes the original hard case.
