What you guys think of the D-Caster (the one with two P90)?

Looks great, no experience with them though. The swell pot is cool, love those old Framus guitars that have something similar to that.

Wow, very cool specs and VERY nice looking! 25.6" scale? Strange, but interesting.

I've never heard of these guys before.

I wonder if they're cheaper in EU, a quick google search shows them to be quite pricey in the States.

I tried a Starplayer TV and really liked the neck.
There's a lot of tension on the strings (the way I like it).

But never tried the D-Caster. Those are very expensive, but I might be able to find a used one.

Just not 100% sure this is what I want.

There's a downloadable review here that leaves me with mixed feelings about this beaut. Somehow I've yet to find a Duesenberg that I can gel with. Not that I've played this particular one but the ones I have played were not for me.

i love that body shape, close to like a double cutaway duo jet. no experience with em, but should be cool. that being said, i'd rather have a duo jet

Oh, thanks for the review...
Those are beautiful, but at this price if the neck joint is not neat... :idk:

masked elwood has a Duesenberg V-Caster for sale in the B/S/T. (viewtopic.php?f=44&t=23557)
I'm not sure what they go for new but he's asking half the price of one about to SELL on ebay! :idk:

^^^^ yep ^^^^

duessenberg's are good little guitars. i've never played a D caster but have 3 other diff models.
they are well made, they play super...they sound as they should, i've never even changed a pickup in any of them...which is very unusual for me on a modern guitar.

Do you have a Starplayer Special?
