Duesenberg Paloma Custom Electric Guitar (Black)

Nothing left to be desired

This special edition of the Paloma comes fully equipped with cutting-edge Duesenberg hardware and pickups.

Fitted with dual Split/King pickups, a design that allows for both real Humbucker and real Singlecoil tones, and a third Pearlito Singlecoil, the Paloma Custom leaves nothing to be desired. Custom Duesenberg "Wing" fretboard inlays, as well as stunning gold hardware all over the instrument underline the exquisite nature of this instrument.

Features

• Solid-Body Construction: Beautifully contoured body made from Alder. Solid-Body constructions deliver instant response, a lot of attack and sustain and perfect feedback resistance. Alder is a popular tone-wood known for its bright voice and versatility.
• Split/King Pickups: Two Split/King pickups are capable of producing real singlecoil and real humbucker tone. You can select modes with the switches on the lower brushed aluminium pickguard.
• Plek Processed: A pleked fretboard guarantees perfectly level frets. This is the basis for our fret polishing and setup work all done by hand that eventually makes our instruments play like nothing you have ever played before.

The Paloma custom is the jack of all trades.

A custom three pickup layout featuring two Split/King Duo-Coil pickups, as well as the Duesenberg Pearlito Singlecoil in the middle position deliver outstanding flexibility in shaping your personal tone. The new 5-way switch and two mode-select switches for the Split/King pickups open up a vast world of tonal choice.

All of that is topped off by our acclaimed Diamond Deluxe Tremola, exclusive Duesenberg Wing fretboard inlays, overall gold hardware and a beautifully shaped body contour.

THE SPLIT/KING IS NOT THE SPLITTABLE PICKUP YOU MIGHT EXPECT.

The innovative coil concept of extending a real singlecoil to a full humbucker with a fine-tuned seperate coil enables you to access both pickup sounds with the flick of a switch. The Split/King actually houses a real, full-size singlecoil pickup that can stand on its own compared to your regular split humbucker. This pickup is the pinnacle of our own component design and delivers a maximum of versatility.
