Frequently Asked Questions
The Domino is voiced for more clarity and less muddiness than many P90s, retaining articulation even when pushed, which is a Duesenberg design signature.
The medium-D profile, with its 24mm thickness at the 12th fret, is generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might find it slightly snug – best to try it in person if possible.
It’s significantly more stable than vintage Fender tremolos; it's designed to minimize tuning issues and provides a more reliable vibrato effect.
