Is this a girly-coloured guitar?

[Armistice]

Duesenberg Starplayer TV Cataline Sunset Rose

I sort of want it. It's an actual guitar in an actual guitar shop in Brisbane, so I could buy it. Don't see many Duesenbergs over here. I always said my next electric had to have a really good "normal" trem system - ie. not Floyd Rose, and by all accounts these are the best.

Only problem is, I only know this guitar exists because my mate showed it to me, and the only reason he knows it exists is because his 22 year old daughter wants it. Now I suspect she, having just spent a ridiculous amount on a custom acoustic whilst still being a student, doesn't currently have the scratch for an expensive guitar, so it's more a lust item than a potential reality for her. But I might get in trouble if I buy it... But then I guess, at least she could play it sometimes.

And I sort of feel like, after all the shit that's happened in the last couple of months, I'm owed a treat...

But metallic pink, though.

HELL NO. Pink is awesome, as long as it’s not like hello kitty shit, but that pink looks badass.

Not a "girly" color. It's just a color. I'd play a metallic pink guitar and beat the dogshit out of any dumb caveman douchebag that gives me any crap for it.

NAh.

Pink is really badass. And that guitar looks super cool! I say go ahead and get it!!!

Pink is kind of a really popular color I think lately. It's been catching my eye more often the last little while. Eastwood had a MEGA limited (5 units) of an almost candied pink Airline Jupiter preorder not too long ago. It looked VERY sharp!


@Bill L also has a pretty bad ass homemade pink tele too.

I like it a lot ....... and friends daughter can just go cry if she doesn't like you having it

It's just a Bigsby, right? Or a Duesenberg/Bigsby collaboration? I mean, it looks exactly like a B7 Bigsby that's been sculpted for Duesenberg. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Bigsbys fucking rule.

Everything I've read about dusenbergs suggear they are great! All the decently recorded sound clips are great too.

It's their own take on a Bigsby - seems like it's something they've been evolving for a long time... this guy likes it.



I've never played a Bigsby guitar, or one of these, so I only have YouTube to go on.

They don't usually have the range of a typical Strat vibrato, and nowhere near the range of a Floyd. You might be able to coax a 2-step pitch dip out of it at most. They're not for that though. They're more about little shimmers and wiggles.

I don't think I'd even call that pink. It's more a maroon or wine color.

If your friend's kid has the means to get it, it would be unkind to snipe it from her. But if she doesn't, and it will bring you joy, go nuts.

[Greg_L]

My first impression was it's like a cheap pink champagne or Shirley Temple drink. I like it.

A decently recorded 150 Dollar Squire Strat can also sound good. I fail to see the point you are making you turd.

Thats what i was saying, fuckwad. A decent recording will make anything sound good.

[Greg_L]

I bet that guitar probably does sound good though. Or at least not bad. I could probably make it sound bad in person and on recordings.

Yeah, there's not gonna be junk pickups and hardware on a 2 grand guitar.

Approx., $4.5k AU.

Yes... That's the main problem. That's new Les Paul standard territory. Or north, even...

Also could be a good life lesson for her... I don't think she's seriously thinking of it - she simply can't have that much money any more. And she doesn't even own an electric - never even seen her play one. Also, no amp. Her father has.

But I'd check first.

Color means nothing. And I love bothering people that get all worked up over stupid shit. I have a pink Tele, it's awesome. I have Wonder Women Chuck Taylors, and I love it when people act stupid because it makes me laugh. I remember some random dude calling me gay because I had a rose embroidered on my shirt. I was going to a hockey game and the shirt was an English National Rugby team shirt and he's busting my balls. Thankfully I don't concern myself with morons like that. Here's a pic of said Tele. It still needs a new neck and when time allows I'll buy it.

Remember PINK was the BOY colour in early Victorian times.
If it bothers you call is pale salmon, bleached red or pastel puce.
Nice looking guitar though.
