Duesenberg Paloma Electric Guitar – Red Sparkle
The Paloma electric guitar from Duesenberg marks a distinctly European blend of HSS flexibility and esteemed, cultured aesthetics inspired by rippling art deco lines and angles. The Duesenberg Paloma Electric Guitar – Red Sparkle boasts a comfortably contoured solidbody design. Duesenberg sourced American alder wood, which provides a near-instant response with lots of bright character. Alder’s versatile sound, when paired with the Paloma’s custom HSS pickups, fuels everything from funky, percussive rhythm work to tangy leads. The Paloma is dressed from headstock to heel with proprietary Duesenberg hardware, including a Diamond Deluxe Tremola — guitarists love this tremolo’s expressiveness and 360-degree adjustable arm. Plus, the Paloma’s rosewood fingerboard is pre-Plek’d. Along with a compound fingerboard radius, the silky-smooth action of Plek’d frets helps you realize this guitar’s vast potential right away.
Juicy custom pickups
The Paloma’s three custom-voiced pickups are vintage-inspired and optimized to shine with minimal effort on your part. The bridge Grand Vintage humbucker is a staple of Duesenberg design, and it packs the warmth and dimensions of early PAF humbuckers while dialing up the output slightly. Shimmering cleans, defined crunch, and filthy distortion are just a few of the voices that suit the Grand Vintage humbucker’s range. Unlike many HSS guitars, the Paloma’s neck- and middle-position single-coil pickups are voiced differently, with a Pearlito pickup in the middle position and an Alnico-Blade pickup in the neck position. Each single-coil boasts a distinct character and can achieve everything from funky twang and charismatic upper-fret leads to a transparent stringy rattle bordering on an acoustic guitar. With three uniquely voiced pickups onboard, you’ll find the Paloma one of the most versatile HSS options around!
The neck and fingerboard of your dreams
The Paloma’s effortless playability empowers you to quickly connect dots on the fingerboard while creating richer musical routines every time you pick it up. A maple neck provides the snappy, quick response of classic Cali-style guitars that players love, but it does so with a set-neck design for enhanced sustain and improved access to the upper frets. Speaking of frets, the Paloma’s Indian rosewood fingerboard’s 22 jumbo frets make for fluent bends, and each fret is pre-Plek’d at the point of manufacture for a fingerboard that’s guaranteed to work with you, not against you. Moreover, the neck features a compound radius, and this subtle touch enables fast leaps up and down the neck with optimized support regardless of where you land.
Duesenberg: the 6-string pride of Deutschland
Founded by German guitar designer Dieter Gölsdorf in 1989, Duesenberg guitars represent a multinational mixing pot of American art deco aesthetics, hot-rod heritage, and exacting German engineering. Duesenberg’s utterly distinctive instruments — affectionately dubbed “Doozys” by their adherents — gleam with proprietary parts and pickups that merge the daring appointments of the early electric guitar age with the pinpoint precision of modern manufacturing excellence. From the iconic Starplayer semi-hollow guitars to basses, lap steels, and beyond, every Duesenberg embodies consummate artisanship. Fittingly, this unerring dedication has attracted more than a few luminaries, including the likes of Bob Dylan, Joe Walsh, Mike Campbell, John Mayer, and Tom Bukovac. For the musician who demands superlative performance, idiosyncratic innovation, and master-level musical detail in equal measure, only a Doozy will do.
