#Duesenberg Starplayer TV Hollow Wolfgang Niedecken

"Verdamp lang her" (means "damn long time ago") ... this was a classic German Rock hymn of the 80s. This sentimental Rock ballad in Cologne dialect soon brought singer and guitarist Wolfgang Niedecken and his band BAP to worldwide fame. The guys from Duesenberg have a long-standing and close friendship with Wolfgang Niedecken. Thus it came about that in collaboration with Wolfgang Niedecken a very special Duesenberg Starplayer TV model was created. A highly individual instrument that honors Niedecken's origins and musical history.

The look of this Starplayer TV Hollowbody guitar from the Alliance Series is reminiscent of many classics from the USA. The one-piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard is very classic and traditional. The body with its spruce top and back/sides made of laminated maple and the scale of 25.5 " provide an excellent playing feel. These instruments differ technically and sonically from all other instruments on the market.

Let's get to the special features on this remarkable Starplayer TV. In order to meet Wolfgang Niedecken's tonal preferences, two Duesenberg LittleToaster mini humbuckers were installed. This individual pickup assembly is an absolute special case. In order to visually refine this Starplayer TV, a few additional gimmicks were installed, which are entirely in Wolfgang Niedecken's personal taste. Three crowns on the fingerboard symbolize the Cologne city coat of arms and are also intended to honour the three "Kings of Rock'n Roll", which had a significant influence on Niedecken's music. In addition, there's a star on the twelfth fret – it symbolizes the Polar Star, which stands for a fixed point, that you can always orientate yourself to.

What a great guitar! For BAP and Niedecken fans this unique Duesenberg Starplayer TV is almost a must!
