I wish I had never touched it....

I played a Deusenberg today. It was really nice. Kind of a cross between a really nice guitar, oral sex, and ice cream.

Now my Gibbies feel like Eppies.

Just thought I would share....

I fuckin love the way the Rocket looks like. Never played one though.... (I've quickly tested one of the hollow bodies in a store, but that's it.)

I saw Mr. Düsenberg at the Musicfair in Frankfurt last year. He was holding one of his $5000.- hollowbody electric guitars, eating a sausage bread and chatting with some people. While he was chatting, half of the sausage bread fell through the hole into the guitar :grin:

That's why they sound so good!

[weedywet]

you obviously have NEW Gibsons


I like the Dusenberg, but it's not beating my 50's or 60's Gibsons

sorry

Yeah, my oldest is an '85 - hardly golden era stuff.

Still this girl was just begging me to take her home!

With the right pair of shoes I think I could make this work...

Every time I see that image, I keep hearing "Like a Rhinestone Cowboy" in my head.


One of the local guitar shops carries a few Duesenbergs...

One looks like a *cough*Ripoff*cough of a Rickenbacker 12.

One looks like a Gretsch Electromatic.

Both are stupid expensive.


Cheers,

So what's this Doucheburger company anyway?

This one goes better with my choice of footwear.

Now these, I could rock the snot out of.

The Doozys are sweet axes. Even if I wasn't keen on the looks (and I am) I would still have to admit that they play and sound fantastic. I also played some custom shop Gibsons at the same price point and they were a distinct let down after playing the Starplayer. And this is coming from a lifelong Gibson guy.

Also their take on the V, as pointed out by MKZ, is pretty hawt.

They need a good setup, and permanent TLC, just like Rickies.
I've seen some recent models with horrid intonation issues and tuners that aren't up to scratch.
But they sound OK and I think they look very cool.

This is my favorite Duesenberg.

I use to ride in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim. Those were different times!
