Fred_C Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi Gents, Did anyone see Austin City Limits last night? Since I don't listen to much contemporary music (still doing my Jazz/Blues thing) I don't remember what the players name was, but he was playing a semi-hollow single cut (with one F hole), blonde LP shape that really looked and sounded great. The axe had an upper case "D" on the headstock. Do any of you gents know what brand of guitar this might be? Thanks. If you play cool, you are cool.

Caevan O’Shite Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 OK, I think I've got it now. Apparently Jason Isbell was on a broadcast of ACL the other night, and he played a gold-top Duesenberg Starplayer TV. http://cdn.americansongwriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/SNP482821v1.jpg Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skipclone 1 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Duesenbergs are freakin amazing guitars, I have been fortunate to have several sitdown sessions with them. The styling is not like music I would usually play but it doesn`t matter. Three minutes after picking them up I`m not even noticing it, I would take one in a second.

whitefang Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I can't find any prices on the site. They look pricey, but probably worth it. Anybody know the cost? Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02R96 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I saw the same episode Saturday night, which also featured my girl Neko Case . But I digress... I checked out that beautiful Duesenberg, and it will set you back around $2600.00 depending on who's selling it. Dan "I hate what I've become, trying to escape who I am..."

Fred I think any music would sound great on those guitars but to me they scream vintage-classic Cadillac, 50s sci-fi looks. The thing is, they are built to very modern rock solid spec, I think one would not have to play through a bunch to find `the one`. I think the first time I played one, from the looks I was expecting a loose, handmade `oh, it`s about on spec, give or take` feel-not at all.

picker Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Yeah, $2600 is pricey, but not more than a lot of other "prestige" type guitars, or guitars that want to be "prestige" type guuitars Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
