What happens, when we leave out the f-hole from the Starplayer TV? We wondered ourselves, so we just tried it. The result was a guitar with a distinct and very special sound.
In the neck position is the Duesenberg PH90 Single Twin, a split pickup with the sound of a classic single-coil pickup, but without any annoying hum. At the bridge a Duesenberg D-Tron humbucker does its job. Both pickups are mounted in a stylish "transparent-silver" mounting ring. The exclusive appearance is completed by a nickel plated pickguard and the Radiator tremolo, which has already been used on the DTV-DLX.
The DTV-NF is available only in catalina-blue, a new metallic Duesenberg color.
