Frequently Asked Questions

The center block tames the hollow body resonance, focusing the tone and adding sustain while retaining a degree of warmth and airiness.
Duesenberg's quality control is excellent, so fret buzz is typically minimal; the 12 in radius and jumbo frets offer comfortable, fast playability.
It’s generally smoother and more stable than many vintage Fender tremolos, but still retains that classic, slightly looser feel – requires careful setup.
