The Starplayer TV Phonic is a semi-hollow, dual pickup, 22-fret electric guitar, featuring arched top and flat back, bent sides, gold-plated hardware and a 25.5 in.-scale.

With the Starplayer TV Phonic in an all-over bright Venetian White the vision of truly independent hardware design continues. As the first model in the Starplayer TV line it features a new spectacular pickup covers and the 4-way rotary pickup selector placed at the cutaway.

The Phonic comes with the celebrated set of a Grand Vintage humbucker for the bridge and Domino P90 for the neck position. The new pickup selector allows you to choose between each pickup individually or two options of combining the two. The first option lets both pickups run freely without touching the frequencies, while the second option filters certain frequencies to give your tone a unique and even more defined character.

It is further equipped with a selection of world-class Duesenberg hardware such as the stunning Radiator Tremolo unit, the Steel Saddle Radius Bridge and effortless Z-Tuners for smooth and easy string changes and tuning.

All instruments are fitted with proprietary hardware, which you will only find on a Duesenberg. It's designed with attention to even the smallest details to create truly unique instruments from tuner buttons to jack plates.

All fretboards are carefully plek'd and finished by hand for optimum playability and the smooth feel they are famous for. The Phonic additionally sports elegant Duesenberg Wing inlays on the fretboard and a luxurious pearl binding all around the guitar. Includes hardshell case.
