[@palehorseone]

What an artist. Thank you Michael.

[@jhwk1970]

I’ve got some really nice guitars. Little by little my Duesenberg Starplayer TV Deluxe has become my go to guitar room favorite. It plays the best, the trem is terrific, my two pickup version provides a nice mix of tonality and excels at a warm full sweet voice, and looks SO cool. Mine has oval inlays which seems to be pretty unusual and a Gretsch like orange finish. The guitar is a terrific instrument.

[@cramster3495]

I have the exact same model and agree with you

[@craiger2399]

I agree. My Starplayer Deluxe has overtaken all my other guitars as the most versatile, reliable, and all around best guitar I own.

[@bloos4156]

I happen to own one as well. Similar to the one in the Video, but not the deluxe Version. I chose the dusenberg over stratocasters and les pauls for their versatility. The P90 gives a good clean tone while also providing a humbucker for more brutal distortion Sounds. And i didn't even talk about the tone stable tremolo/whammy bar

[@jacobandmore3915]

Lots of worship guitarist gravitate towards these and I don’t blame them. I dream of owing one of these.

[@docskate4312]

This is stunningly beautiful.

[@ultragukuss1325]

Michael is unbelievable. He could make a stone sound good. Nice guitar, I have a starplayer in surf green, use it all the time. Nice workhorse..

[@uniquestringsthings]

Very cool guitar👌another great demo by Mr. Lemmo 👍 Thanks

[@yjersey]

Thanks for being real Michael. I can relate. In my weakness, I give it to God. And let Him do the talking for me. You are awesome man. Thanks for being you

[@YoloMcSwaggot]

Duesies are love, Duesies are life.

[@michaeldunivan5364]

Love watching Lemmo progress over time.

[@bluephoenix3865]

Love duesenberg even I love their Tremeloes that I put on my Epiphones

[@benallmark9671]

What kinda Epi’s do have the trems on ?

[@robertrohrs9195]

Duesenberg made some fantastic lap steels. I would love to find one.

[@Montenegro1959]

All Duesenberg Guitars be pleked . A dream to play.

[@allisonholmesmusic97]

What a cool looking guitar. I haven’t heard of this brand before, but it’s pretty damn awesome

[@maltekraft6186]

For me it’s just incredible how Micheal gets this variety of sounds out of this guitar. That just blows my mind. Especially the beginning on the neck pickup and the shimmer reverb 😄🤟🏼 Also Duesenberg makes great guitars, I love them but can’t afford them

[@catfishmudflap]

Wow! I've never seen anything like this. Thank you.

[@pierheadjump]

😎 Thanks Jen, Mike ⚓️ A LOT going on with that guitar. COOL 🧊

[@promerops]

This guitar looks exquisite and sounds beautiful. I want one! Great playing and videography, as always. Thanks!

[@w13rdguy]

Yerr' a whizzard, Mikey. ☘️

[@Ackdaddy100]

I own a two pick up version and it is the best guitar I have ever owned the sound the feel the build quality is worth every cent.

[@hezz74]

Oh lordy what a beauty, ..and I normally don't like gold hardware.

[@joermnyc]

Me too, but something about gold and a gloss black finish just works

[@luissaldivar2808]

That’s one of the most beautiful guitars ived ever seen.

[@gerryloughran1676]

Wonderful tones ...cool

[@manbearpig2164]

Beautiful guitar and it sounds amazing

[@tonycorlett2099]

Lemmo, you made the guitar sound like the way it looks! Beautiful!

[@nfshotrod]

Beautiful rich tone!!!!!

[@michaelreid5912]

ML… you make ‘wacky’ WONDERFUL! 🎶👊🏼

[@squirewinter7186]

👋👋👋Has to be one of your coolest tracks/reviews...and you have previously done some cool stuff 👌

[@grahamt33]

JEN, don't forget to film michaels gig !

[@stardance9442]

What a great git thanks norm and M. L.

[@johnpandolfino8663]

That's a first for me.....never seen one before

[@voidtremors5814]

Lemmo is my favourite guitarist tbh

[@kevinhuber8723]

Cool!

[@chassisresearchkid]

🤤 WOW......JUST WOW

[@leftybass5860]

This may be a new record for the number of times Lemmo says “cool”.

[@saint6563]

Watch his earlier vids!

[@freddaniel5099]

Art deco guitar played by a real artist! Nicely done Mr. Lemmo. Lots of "bling" on this tricked out ride.

[@terrycampbell8215]

What a buetiful sounding quitar....

[@DNeil5]

So cool to watch Michael play. It's almost effortless and it's like the guitar and Michael are one. He seems to know it so well that it's second nature where to go and what to hit...Great job!! Love you man!

[@ccbbh4477223]

Man Lemmo you're doin it!!!!!

[@StealthParrot]

Very cool guitar !!!

[@seanzinger]

Wow that second loop was DOPE

[@georgejobin1744]

Mike your awesome the guitar is ok to

[@joermnyc]

Really cool metal strip under the pickups, reminds me of a car running board or something on a cylinder head cover… seeing that Duesenberg was an old prewar sports car brand (Jay Leno has a few).

[@bloibl916]

Not the same company

[@jhwk1970]

Not that it matters for our discussion, but in the interest of accuracy…….Duesenberg autos were a pre WW2 premium luxury make headquartered in Auburn Indiana. Today the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum is in the Auburn Indiana former corporate headquarters and is a terrific visit. The guitars are made in Germany and not related to the former American auto brand.

[@imageskj1]

If I could only keep one guitar this is the one I'd keep.

[@Barry101er]

Sounds really good Lemmo. What a guitar. Kudos for Johnny Kid & the Pirates btw ;) Can you live stream your show for those of us who can’t make it?

[@claypack5943]

I really want that guitar.

[@WhiskeySam1]

Just imagine how disappointed the owner of this guitar is going to be when he can’t make it sound like Lemmo does.

[@KunaevNS]

Such great playing

[@dareal9208]

And so it went The children lost their minds Beggin' for forgiveness Was such a waste of time And the bullets start to fly And the boughs about to break When you hear them cry It's too much for me to take They said the world does not belong to you You are not the king, I am not the fool They said the world does not belong to you It don't belong to you It belongs to me And so it went The children lost their minds Crawlin' over bodies of those who gave their lives And the fists began to throw And the fire starts to blaze Don't you think they know They're the fuckin' human race? They said the world does not belong to you You are not the king, I am not the fool They said the world does not belong to you It don't belong to you It belongs to- Everyone is cryin' out, I can hear them scream With all these eyes upon us, but no one seems to see That you and me are just the same as God meant it to be But you're much too close to me You're much too close to me And so it went The children lost their minds Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide And the wind begins to howl And the wolf is at your door You have so much of everything But still, you wanted more They said the world does not belong to you You are not the king, I am not the fool They said the world does not belong to you It don't belong to you It belongs to me The world does not belong to you You are not the king, I am not the fool They said the world does not belong to you It don't belong to you It belongs to me

[@andrewwatts970]

It’s almost that time of the year for some Vince Guaraldi Christmas covers!!!

[@roballan5952]

Seriously All the wants! masterclass of right for that beautiful guitar hmmm not sure what I want more your chops or that mighty fine Deuesy, if I was going to flip a coin... who am I kidding the chops win they were so right, but feel free to gift me that beautiful D!

[@jonathanjackson7047]

I like the Mr T ring starter set.

[@user-re5vn2rl2y]

Juicy Song

[@ziggyc4474]

What is the production year of this beauty ?

[@carlito7863]

No distortion on this beauty... 😭😭😭😭

[@shannonrameka]

Wow that’s so cool mik

[@Smagledorf]

Love these Starplayers! Always wanted one when I saw Chris Cornell playing them when Soundgarden got back together! However! Gotta do a Maton!

[@stephenstevens6573]

Play it pretty for the people, Micharl!

[@Zep2460-v7p]

Wooowwwwwww

[@frederikthaysen6931]

Which Reverb pedal are you using, Michael?? It sounds amazing👏🏻

[@morizthiem]

It's the context reverb on the cathedral setting :)

[@BrianOboylemusic]

Lemmo!!!!

[@Morte_Deus]

Bad ass guitar player!

[@slugtoenail]

Great playing! That one sounds like it needs some intonation work though.

[@alxra]

What was the tune he started at 4:31? I've heard hiim play if before but can't place it. Jeff Buckley?

[@luxie89]

Does anyone know the first song he plays please? Awesome vid

[@briankelly7984]

Fuck me that guitar is badass

[@oleksiiihnatiev1768]

Anyone knows what he’s played at 7:02?

[@qtoshi6126]

Mike Campbell all over that!

[@steveblackwell7005]

Virtuoso

[@jluther1755]

Hey Lemmo the playing definitely makes up for any trouble with the words. There's no prob with the words really though but the playing is always awesome 😎

[@Black001Hawk]

Does anyone know if the riff at 4:30 is from a song or something Michael has played before?

[@Phantom_gtx]

Lemmy

[@SamSveistrup]

ok

[@stevefaure415]

Got to say, I don't care for the Duesenberg vibe much. It's kind of like to a Gretsch what a PRS is to a Gibson, just sort of an expensive and somewhat bland (despite all the bangles and sparkle) unnecessary variation on a theme. Sounds fine. Plays nice I'm sure. I've got a feeling these babies go way down in value from new to used. That said--all guitars are wonderful!

[@harveydean7952]

My Starplayer has tripled in value since I bought it over 15yrs ago. I could afford to buy one back then, I can't now. You can do all the tasteful, retro twangy stuff on it but its also a nasty, heavy sounding beast when its cranked up with distortion. Its a very versatile instrument, I'd never part with mine.

[@jhwk1970]

I pretty much agreed with you until I acquired one. I own, and have owned, a lot of guitars considered high end. My Duesenberg Starplayer TV Deluxe has its own unique personality and is a wonderful guitar. They seem to hold their value quite well, although the market is admittedly smallish for them. Good luck finding one that might be considered cheap. Mine isn’t for sale at any price.

[@MrRFasters]

I do own a Starplayer Custom and a Special. The Custom has gone up from 2.100€ in the 3.000 plus regions. Bought ot for 1.900. The Special was aired around 1.300 and is now in the 2.600€ range. And since the are not a kazillion copycat models, like there are Gibby, Epi or copy brand models, I suspect they will hold their value. Not that I do care very much, since I will hold on to them as long as my playin' life will last.

[@BaritoneOneFive]

No 2 and 4 position?

[@MrRFasters]

The guitar has indeed 3 positions: neck, both and bridge. The tone pot actually blends in the middle pickup in any position. The tone pot has three "clicked" positions: pot "off": tone roled off, pot "middle": tone rolled full, tone pot all the way "up": blended in the middle pickup full. So selector Top: neck+ middle. Middle: neck+middle+bridge. Bittom: middle+bridge. The vid actually states it wrong: when he mentions "the middle pickup" you actually hear all three, giving the nice twang. Whe he states "bridge" you actually hear the bridge and middle pick-up. Giving you the strat like "quack". Pa. I do own a Duesenberg StarPlayer Custom and a Special myself. Both black. Bhe both use this split Tone knob function. I love them to death. Max versatility.

[@Crispy1320]

So what was causing the buzzing was it bad cables the amp or what?

[@derael61]

can I have it?

[@dareal9208]

And so it went The children lost their minds Beggin' for forgiveness Was such a waste of time And the bullets start to fly And the boughs about to break When you hear them cry It's too much for me to take They said the world does not belong to you You are not the king, I am not the fool They said the world does not belong to you It don't belong to you It belongs to me And so it went The children lost their minds Crawlin' over bodies of those who gave their lives And the fists began to throw And the fire starts to blaze Don't you think they know They're the fuckin' human race?

[@michaelmolnar6234]

Awesome guitar, awesome guitar player... those nails need a trim lol

[@jakeweber5578]

BLOWS AWAY YOUR JAZZ MASTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nyacoustics8373]

That was a lousey berg, I'll take a les Paul and strat any day

[@deplinenoise]

Cut immediately after the bigsby use because it was out of tune ;)

[@motofish312]

It's speak not talk.....

[@CNFir-fs6zs]

2 rules before playing a guitar: Cut your nails , at least on your fretting fingers. Tune the guitar. 1 out of 2 aint bad.

[@dareal9208]

@Jimmy Galloway poor personal hygiene is just that! Why dont you go lick a door knob?

[@dareal9208]

Or wear fingernail polish

[@RT-wl6tq]

How many of you cringe everytime his stupid rings hit the guitar?

[@peterpigna9505]

Dusemberg👎, come alternativa a Fender e Gibson solo PRS

[@GuitarTalkunedited]

Soz mate utter Shite

[@dareal9208]

the guitar has a very bright sound to it and his playing is like his fingernails

[@dareal9208]

OH GOD How horrible Man when you strummed the pick down behind the bridge it made some of the worst sounds I have ever heard Shit Son WTF ? How can you stand that noise Jen ?

[@jessehurtado2056]

Lame review
