    Tried a red sparkle Paloma yesterday....I was blown away!! Pickups were bright and rich, fit and finish is amazing!! I'm always a bit cautious with trem systems, but found the Deusenberg trem to be fantastic!! No tuning issues, very responsive! I LOVE this guitar!

    I was lucky enough to be able to visit Duesenberg in Hannover. Before I always bet on the star players but I was completely convinced by the Caribou. The sound is inimitable and in my opinion a masterpiece of guitar building.

    Looking at getting a second Duesy. I've had a blue sparkle Starplayer TV for about 5 years and it is one of my favorite guitars. The playability is fantastic, the trem is unparalled and it very well constructed.

      I'm in the exact same boat with you. Just picked up a blue sparkle Starplayer TV recently and it has ruined me. Best darn guitar I've ever played. I've always wanted to play lap steel and I've really been eyeing the Dues Fairytale steel. I can see it happening in the future.

    • @bluzzjazz

      @@tossedpenny It is a phenomenal guitar isn't it? I rarely have to tune it, it's so rock solid. Speaking of lap steel, I came across a 1951 Supro with original case, cord, slides and booklet. A true under the bed/closet find. It was in perfect condition except the ivoroid tuners were crumbling. I had new ones to match put on and it sounds fantastic! It even had the pickup cover, which is often missing. Now I have to learn how to play it!

    If I only had one guitar and that was it, I would probably pick the Caribou because it sounds more like traditional rock guitars. However, since I already have the typical single coil Fenders and humbucking Gibsons, I would select the Paloma because it would add a new and different set of tones to my stable.

    I would favor the Paloma. I’m not too crazy about the out-of-phase middle position on the Caribou. It’s the same as on my Fullerton CC. I don’t use the middle position. I also have the Bonneville which I absolutely love! Dual Humbuckers and all 3 positions are awesome. I would like the versatility of the 2 singles and 1 humbucker. My $.02. :)

    weeeell... im glad i dont have the choose atm but going just by the sound i gotta say... Paloma. Which surprised me to be honest. i love hollowbody, have a gretsch, and just fell in love w/ the semihollowlooks of the caribou BUT... i def like the presented sound and variability of the Paloma better. Nice playing. well done.

    @pooptick01 9 місяців тому +2

    I purchased the Paloma (Narvik) 3 days ago & can’t find consistent description of position 2 on the pickup selector. The shop advised it’s neck + middle but since then equal reviews on google & youtube are saying its neck + middle and neck + bridge. Does anyone know which it is with certainty? The Duesenberg website doesn’t discuss and the very brief manual is silent on this. Tx in advance.

      great for live , rich sounds! im not sure wich would be best in a reccording situation , bolt on is easier to work out with stacked analog pedals but could be just me . i got a jaguar and a les paul, i did put ceramics since i think they sound a bit "compressed" already . ( than my compressor is one of the always on anyway) i have 2 pedal boards and only one of them ahve compressor. (it s just easier to have multiple settings) . get a good compressor with your strat you ll get a lot of sustain , as much as you want :)
