Kaiser Bill Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 That kid reminds me of Derek Trucks. Lots of country licks in his playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson Artist Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Yes there were Deusenberg cars as well. I remember now, i saw one on Pawn Stars, i believe they were like a Rolls Royce back in the day. It was obvious that driving one made a statement, those gits are not cheap either, like 3 grand each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody have a Dusenberg? No, but watched my son play one (StarPlayer) at a local store and it would have been a keeper had he the money. Single coil in neck, bucker in bridge, semi hollow...well made, sounded great. I've been looking for a lefty ever since...but they're rare and pricey...like Gibsons (around $2500). I don't care for the simplicity of the dot inlays....anything but dots would improve an already good look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 These guitars are really cool but it seems that they're made in Korea or something and if that's true then I feel like the price needs to come way down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I like the look of that doublecut. If it had a neck pickup I'd give one a try. I seldom use the bridge PU at all these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErickC Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Yep, beat me to it. They were definitely the class of the field at the time. At the time, sure, but you don't see too many 787s wearing Dusenberg logos on the nacelles. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueblooded Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 The company HQ may still be there but it seems they are made in the Far East Hmmmmmm... I looked through Dusenberg's site again and I did a google search on "where are Dusenberg Guitars made" and the first result landed me in a guitar gear forum thread that is 11 pages long. What I got out of it is that Dusenberg doesn't explicitly reveal where what parts of build and manufacture are done other than they are assembled in Germany. Would be nice if they were more fourthcoming about all this. The one thing that everyone was posting was how extremely nice they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one time there website did have a statement about parts manufactured in Korea and assembled in Germany but that's been removed a while ago. Would love to try one myself.

Dub-T-123 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I have no doubts about the quality, just wish that the price reflected their outsourcing. It would be nice if they were forthcoming about where they are made, but I guess then people wouldn't be so comfortable with their price tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a dealer that carries them on the east side of town and I'll try to find an excuse to get out there to try some out. The Andertons video was cool and I need to try some out and know more before I abadon ship on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
