Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to offer up this Starplayer TV Mike Campbell guitar from our friends over at Duesenberg Guitars.

This one is anything but a heartbreaker. It'll put a smile on your face that you just can't wipe off (nor should you). All of the wonderful playability and immaculate construction that have put Duesenberg at the forefront of the boutique guitar world can be found in this guitar. For his version of the Starplayer TV, Mike chose to go with a Domino P90 in the neck position for rich and creamy lead lines while keeping the GrandVintage humbucker in the bridge to handle more aggressive and distorted tones. This is definitely a winning combo that will get the job done regardless of whether you're playing Tom Petty songs or just going for a general classic rock tone.

This is yet another simple and elegant design that won't get in your way and literally makes playing easier and more enjoyable. With a guitar that inspires you to pick it up and makes it so you'll never want to put it down, there's no telling where the ceiling of progress can be pushed to.

Duesenberg has always been a secret weapon of professional touring guitarists and recording session players alike. Especially when in the studio, Duesenbergs reign supreme and it's easy to see why.

Manufacturer's Description

The Starplayer TV is a semi-hollow, dual pickup, 22 fret electric guitar, featuring arched top and back, bent sides and a 647mm scale. For the Mike Campbell Edition we have added some unique details, which are only featured on this model.

Very few guitar players have created a following and the respect among their fans and peers as much as Mike Campbell of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Mikes incomparable playing style and songwriting over the years have left its mark in Rock & Roll history and Duesenberg has the privilege of being a part of it.

The Starplayer TV Mike Campbell Edition is covered in an all-over blue metallic finish with the two iconic racing stripes and cream binding around the body and neck.

For the cutting leads and heavy riffs, we took our own classicly wound GrandVintage Humbucker and paired it with our open Domino P90 Single-coil for airy chords and creamy licks.

All 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 PLEK'd and finished by hand for optimum playability and the smooth feel they are famous for.
Additionally, our Diamond Deluxe Tremola proved to be one of the best of its kind, providing buttery operation and outstanding tuning stability.

The Mike Campbell also features a stunning nickel-plated pickguard with Mike's personal signature and the 30th Anniversary Heartbreakers logo.

The Starplayer TV Mike Campbell is one of our most desired instruments and has become an icon around the world.

The original P90 in a Humbucker format - Dynamic P90 variations are in our blood.
The Domino is the result of our efforts to create a real P90 in a Humbucker housing. Already in the 70's of the past century, Duesenberg founder Dieter Gölsdorf set out to design a pickup which not only replicates the unique tone of real P90, but can also be fitted inside a regular Humbucker cover to make it more compatible with all kinds of guitars. After long nights of testing, analyzing and putting together all kinds of variations, the result of his studies was called the Domino. We think it's a perfect interpretation of what makes a good P90 pickup.

DOMINO P90: The original P90 in a Humbucker format - Dynamic P90 variations are in our blood.

The Domino acts as a perfect counterpart to our classic GrandVintage humbucker in the neck position of many of our instruments. In parts, it's also responsible for the typical Duesenberg flexibility in tone, attack and dynamics.

GRANDVINTAGE HUMBUCKER: A balanced premium Humbucker with an even frequency band and a classic voicing.

Developed and fine-tuned for years - now a benchmark for a classic and raw humbucker tone. The GrandVintage is used in many of our guitars. It became famous and celebrated under the hands of many world class acts as a tone master in the bridge position of our Starplayer TV model. It has its roots in the classic PAF type pickups but ups the game with an open German Silver cover for unrestricted treble response. We also added special high-quality components for the baseplate and coil wire - we think you're going to love it!
