Duesenberg Alliance Series Signature Hollow Body Guitar, Crimson Red (pre-owned)

Condition - Excellent. Some very light marks on the back of the body but other than that no real signs of use. Hard case included.

The Alliance Series Mike Campbell comes in two different constructions. The smaller, Starplayer TV shaped instruments feature Duesenberg’s versatile semi-hollow construction with a solid centerblock. The big-body Mike Campbell Hollow is all-hollow for a lot of moving air and feedback control.

The red all-hollow version features two P90 pickups for a pure and raw hollow tone.

Just like all Duesenberg instruments, the Alliance Mike Campbell receives their elaborate Plek treatment. A pleked fretboard guarantees perfectly level frets. This is the basis for their fret polishing and setup work all done by hand that eventually makes Duesenberg instruments play like nothing you have ever played before.

Headstock & Tuners
The elegant matching colour headstock holds Duesenberg’s super-smooth Z-Tuners. These tuners are not only extremely precise and super comfortable to use, they also allow you to hide the sharp string ends inside the tuner shaft, so they don’t damage your case, gigbag or fingertips.

The string-action, the height of the strings over the frets, can only be set low and comfortable if all frets are precisely the same height. To achieve that, Duesenberg use the ingenious Plek machine that levels all frets with a precision of 1/100 of a millimeter. Each fret is measured and cut individually to achieve optimal playability of the instrument. Their elaborate finishing work is done entirely by hand. Each fret is polished to perfection and all fretboard edges are carefully rounded off for a smooth feel.

Pickups
Duesenberg pickups are known for their distinct, clear and versatile tone that easily cuts through the mix from mellow jazz to supercharged rock.

The Mike Campbell II features a so called “Destruct Knob” placed at the lower cutaway, which enables you to boost the signal by up to 10db, controlling distortion and feedback at any time with the touch of a fingertip. When turned down, the booster can be switched off by turning it even further until it solidly clicks into place where it is taken completely out of the signal.
