Duesenberg Starplayer TV Deluxe Electric Guitar (Crimson Red)

The 2026 refresh keeps things focused, with new finishes, an updated neck pickup, and a cleaner, more intuitive control layout.

It’s a thoughtful update that sharpens what’s already there, refining both feel and function without changing the character that defines the Starplayer TV Deluxe.

The best, now better.

The Starplayer TV Deluxe builds on everything that makes our original line of Starplayer TV guitars great.

A semi-hollow build that’s solid, road-ready, and full of character, paired with standout pickups and our signature Radiator Vibrato.

Add double-bound F-holes, diamond inlays, a floating transparent pickguard, a new neck pickup, and cleaned up controls for easy tone shaping.

Features

• Semi-Hollow Construction: The Starplayer TV Deluxe is a semi-hollow instrument featuring a solid centerblock, double F-Holes, arched top and flat back. Semi-hollow guitars deliver a unique and open response suitable for any genre.
• Double Grand Vintage Pickup: Updated with a classic Duesenberg Grand Vintage Humbucker in both the bridge and neck position, the Starplayer TV Deluxe brings noiseless performance in all situations.
• 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.

2026 Update

The latest update to the Starplayer TV Deluxe refines the instrument where it matters.

New finishes like Catalina Green Burst and Light Antique Burst expand the palette. The pickup setup now features two classically voiced GrandVintage humbuckers, paired with a clean control layout: master volume, master tone, and the signature rotary 3-way selector at the cutaway horn.

Radiator Vibrato Unit

The Duesenberg radiator Tremola is the evolution of our own vibrato system design.

Smooth action, stable tuning, and quick string changes come standard. Needle and nylon bearings keep it precise and responsive, while the arm rotates freely and adjusts to your setup. Strings thread through cleanly for a straightforward restring.
