Duesenberg Paloma Catalina Harbor Green:

The Paloma is a solidbody, three pickup, 22 fret electric guitar, featuring an alder body, short Duesenberg Radiator Tremola and a set neck with a 648mm scale.

The Paloma is for those who seek ultimate flexibility. The three pickup layout featuring our Grand VintageHumbucker and two matched Duesenberg Singlecoils, Pearlito and AlnicoBlade, offer a wide variety of sounds for any situation. The four pickup combinations are accessible through our new 4-Way rotary switch. All of that is topped off by our premium Radiator Tremola, deluxe Diamond fretboard inlays and a beautifully shaped body contour.

All our instruments are fitted with our own hardware, which you will only find on a Duesenberg. We design it with attention to even the smallest details to create truly unique instruments from tuner buttons to jack plates.

All our fretboards are carefully pleked and finished by hand for optimum playability and the smooth feel they are famous for.

[Knox in Box]

Why yes, yes indeed.

 

[Dogsinplastic]

Cool guitar, but I'd never pay that price. Even too expensive for what it is at half that price for me.

When we saw Of Monsters and Men they had a couple of these and they definitely sounded quite good.

 

[Chad]

Id rock it

 

[dodgechargerfan]

I’d give it a go.

 

[tiger roach]

Very cool!

 

[wok]

Not for me

 

[Aahzz]

I almost like it, but it just misses for me.

 

[Chicken Man]

I'd love to try one--every one I've seen played live sounded great--but just about every choice made on this one dampens my enthusiasm, starting with the painted neck.

 

[Motorik]

I dig it.

 

[Lerxst]

IDK, I'd rather a Reverend take on the offset-ish style guitar. The Dbergs that I've played are ok but I'm more than a little disconnected on the prices

 

[BB123]

Looks really cool, money being no object.

 

[jp_nyc]

It looks cool but I would probably buy a Fender American Ultra for a lot less money.

 

[Denverdave]

Nice guitar.....but I'm not paying $3.3K for an Asian import guitar. Way too much mark-up on Duesenbergs.

 

[Honkridge]

I'm sure they are awesome guitars but they never did anything for me in the looks department.

 

[Monson]

I like the looks but I'd prefer two Filtertrons. The color is really great.

 

[jelloman]

That guitar encapsulates pretty much everything I don't want in a guitar...

 

[BuzzBaloo]

I'm not sure that there even is a Duesenberg for me, but I know that this is not it.

I have to agree that Reverend pulls this basic shape off better

 

[Flatspotter]

Ditch the trem and I'll take it. Unless I have to pay for it.

 

[jp_nyc]

What Asian country are Duesenbergs made in? Are they at least MII or MIK? Tell me that they aren’t asking those prices for MIC guitars.
