Topic: WHAT ARE THEY: DUESENBERG

Yesterday, I got luck, in a guitar store, I saw 3 Duesenberg guitars.
I played 30 seconds on a DUESENBURG 49er. The guitar has gone if you wait a few days, the retail price was over 2000$
He asked 1100€ = 1700$ ands in Europe. The same guitar here will be really high
It's difficult 
Who has experience with DUESENBURG?
The 49er sounded great, a fantastic sound provided by 2 single coils P-90.
I can't get that guitar out my mind.
IF FINANCIALLY affordable, it's one of the greatest sounds

WHO PLAYS DUESENBURG here on chordie?
IS THIS "GERMAN" BRAND made in the USA? What I found is that some parts are made on JAPAN, others in Italy.

Re: WHAT ARE THEY: DUESENBERG

If the guitar is what you really want.
If you can afford it.
If there will not be any repercussions from family or friend about the purchase.
If you can't get it outta yore mind.




The BUY IT and satisfy yourself - never wonder about the "would I", " could I" or "should I".

Enjoy!

Re: WHAT ARE THEY: DUESENBERG

NELA, what you write is EXACTLY WHAT I DO. But here I wanted to know if DUESENBERG GUITARS are good, reliable, versatile in fact worth buying IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY.
I worked as a dog for 23 years, 80 hours a week, as Medical Doc, I had some "lucrative specialities" and I've got luck.
Situation is I got a car crash, and it is possible that I have the money but I am LESS impulsive spending it. (I own 23 guitars), and my best serie is PRS, a custom 24, and the PRS EG set made in the USA. It's almost impossible to spot them and if you see an EG it's double in price.
I have a GIBSON LP CUSTOM 1968, and changed the PAF'S by P-94.
The DUESENBERG 49er is really similar, I just try to find more info.
