Description
 


The Duesenberg Dragster is awesome with it's one-pickup simple versatility. The Dragster just rips with speed and tone in a way that has to be experienced to be appreciated. The flat mahogany body and quickness of no binding on the neck, along with the unique coil-tap gives you the ultimate in tone. A unique rock machine from the folks at Duesenberg! Stripped down, and ready to rock."If you ain't first, you're last." With this Dragster, you won't be irritated by any extra knobs and switches, as this is a single pickup rock n' roll machine. The acoustic resonance is stunning, nice and bright, and plugged in, play your favorite AC/DC three chord rock and you'll be in tone heaven! We really like the simplicity of this guitar, and we feel like you will fall in love as deeply as we did. • solid mahogany body• one-piece glued in mahogany neck• smooth oil/wax finish• indian rosewood fingerboard• 22 jumbo frets• 1.67" (nut)• 25.6" scale• Duesenberg Domino P-90• 1 volume, 1 tone (speed-pot), 3-way sound selector• deluxe hardshell case• 6 lbs. 2 oz.Duesenberg:The name stands firm in the deep German tradition of excellence. Our guitars feature more than style and appeal; they express our love for music and our intentions to provide you an instrument that will impact the history of music one player at a time.If you have joined the Doozy family already we thank you, and those who are just discovering us for the first time, we welcome you. Take sometime and see why so many of the top players in the world have joined our special Doozy family.German Pickup Engineering:Looking back in history we have seen some vintage pickups from the late 1950’s and early 1960’s really inspired the face of music, as we know it. We at Duesenberg have taken on the same challenge to produce our own identity and sound through the painstaking attention to visual and technical details. All enthusiasts know - that vintage is just that, vintage. So the question is why have we attracted many of the top players in the world who are known to play only vintage with a new guitar? One word, tone.At Duesenberg our production techniques allow us to meet the exact tolerances and meet the uniformity that ensures that you will be hearing the very best in tone. Each one of our pickups has been created by scratch, meaning, once we found that magic tone we locked it in. Many companies use other companies designed pickups in their product. To meet the Duesenberg standard we felt that the tone and the feel must not be compromised.We have developed our own "Printer Wound" computerized winding system that literally allows a hand winding process to be utilized on each pickup bobbin. This still retains uniformity of our production with the highest quality and lowest tolerances. The extra fine tolerances are achieved through "Elektrisola" a wire produced in Germany. The precision of this wire has a tighter tolerance than any U.S. or Asian wire manufacture. Maintaining the exact specified insulation thickness has allowed us to produce those classic pickups and also maintains the distinctive tone of Duesenberg.The key to this has been the influence on the capacity of the coil. A special so-called "soft iron" developed in Germany has incorporated the pole pieces along with the pole screws, providing a noticeable high harmonic content to the Duesenberg sound. This is all topped off with our base plates and covers and for this there is nothing better than German Nickel Silver. Nickel Silver has the least possible influence on the pickup values, and simultaneously achieving the optimum treble response while giving the best possible shielding.Duesenberg Domino P-90 Pickups:This Doozy "Classic Sound" arsenal has already impacted many of the top songs and records around the world. Many musicians can identify this Doozy classic sound from the very first driving note. We have always felt that the best people to describe the Doozy tone are our family members. "My favorite electric guitar in the last 20 years." -Glenn Frey, The Eagles
