Heartbreaker Heritage
Very few guitar players have created a following and the respect among their fans and peers as much as Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. Mikes incomparable playing style and songwriting over the years has left its mark in Rock & Roll history and Duesenberg has the privilege of being a part of it.
Start at the Finish
The Starplayer TV Mike Campbell 40th Edition is covered in an all-over Catalina Green finish with the two iconic racing stripes and cream binding around the body and neck. For the cutting leads and heavy riffs, they took their own classically wound Grand Vintage Humbucker and paired it with the open Domino P90 Single-coil for airy chords and creamy licks. The Mike Campbell also features a stunning nickel plated pickguard with Mike’s personal signature and the 40th Anniversary Heartbreakers logo. Includes hardshell case.
Duesenberg Feel
The Starplayer TV guitar has a unique sound that you can’t really get anywhere else. Part of this comes from its acoustic guitar inspired wood choice of a laminated spruce top with laminated flamed maple back and sides. This not only makes that guitar sound huge when unplugged but it also gives you a unique classic tone that works wonderfully for any clean or crunch tones. The neck is made out of a single piece of maple that is set into the body and carved to a classic ‘D’ shape. Finishing off the wood choices you have an Indian rosewood fingerboard keeping the playing slick and smooth.
Quality Tremola
If you have ever played a vintage guitar with a tremolo you will understand the tuning issues that plagued guitarists who dared to use them. Duesenberg were not happy giving you a guitar with a trem that was more pain that it was worth. So they went back to the drawing board and between this new trem and the Z-Tuners you will never have tuning issues again.
Duesenberg Quality
Duesenberg do not cut corners when it comes to building their guitars. From their custom made hardware to the wood choice and the craftsmanship that goes into brining it all together they are hard to match. This guitar is part of their Artist Line and as such it is a bit more special than your standard Doozy with some unique apointments that are not often found anywhere else.
Body to sing
Starting off at the body you have a laminated spruce top on top of laminated flame maple back and sides with a solid sustain block running through the guitar. This not only gives this guitar an almost acoustic like amount of dynamics but almost completely eliminates the feedback issues that you can get with hollowbody guitars.
Neck made to be played
The neck has been carved out of a single piece of maple into their signature D shaped profile that fits wonderfully in the hands without feeling too chunky or too thin. Topped off with Indian rosewood for the fretboard cut off into 22 frets at a 25.6″ scale length. After you get your hands round this neck you will fall in love.
Custom Doozy Hardware
If you know Duesenberg you know that they want to control everything that goes into their guitars. This is to make sure that they can deliver the exact guitar they want at a great price and it also means that everything is made bespoke for the guitar you have. From the split shaft style Z-Tuners to their deluxe Tremola everything has been purposefully designed for performance and style.
Signature Pickups
Duesenberg are most famous for one perticular sound and a lot of that comes from their signature pickups. The Domino “Phonico” P90 and Grand Vintage Humbucker pickups are made by Duesenberg in house with components sourced by them and known to be of the best quality around. Everything from the wire to the magnets and even casings are all made out of top quality materials not found anywhere else so you can get the same blues rock sound that has captured a generation of players.
