We are concerned with exploring the options that are defining the next stage of evolution for guitar tone, performance and recording.

"Connecting innovative musicians to innovative instrument builders adds life to the stories of both. it enriches us all- from players to producers to music lovers. Duesenberg exemplifies the new wave of guitar excellence and I am excited to find out what stories it evokes from the many artists participating with us this season."

Seeing new friends coming on board the likes of Slash and Duff Mckagan and carrying on the tradition of Ronnie Wood playing a Duesenberg, Keith Richards has joined the Duesenberg-Family and is jamming with his new Duesenbergs on tour.

The Duesenberg line of guitars and basses are designed by Dieter Goelsdorf and are built with our distinctive sound and feel that sets Duesenberg apart. Our goal remains to be one of the finest sounding and playing guitars in the world. And with artists such as the Blind Boys of Alabama and Dierks Bentley and Colin Hay we are seeing a diversified spread of music being played and written with our full line of Duesenberg Guitars & Basses. Not very many artists play a new guitar, most reach back to a vintage guitar to play live or while recording. Duesenberg is a guitar that is not only being played by some of the greatest of our time, but the Duesenberg sound is impacting songs heard by millions.
