Crafted to the discerning tonal tastes of Joey Landreth of the Bros. Landreth fame, the Duesenberg Alliance Series Bros. Landreth Joey’s Guitar puts a soulful signature spin on the company’s popular Paloma model. This instrument’s foundation is all classic Paloma, starting with an alder body, 1-piece maple neck in a comfortable Medium “D” profile, and 12-inch-radius Indian rosewood fingerboard that come together to provide a fast, lightweight, and high-performance feel in your hands. However, look under the hood, and it’s clear that this hot-rodded 6-string is by no means your typical Duesenberg! Joey’s Guitar comes equipped with a single-coil Gold-Foil model in the neck, a sparkling middle-position Alnico Single-coil, and a Phonico Split/King Custom humbucker in the bridge position that’s modified for a higher output and a more biting voice. Coupled with two pickup mode switches, this compelling assortment of coils resounds with a clear, biting voice that’s ideally suited to Joey’s singing slide-heavy playing. A high-performance arrangement of top-quality Duesenberg hardware tops it all off, including a short Radiator Tremola, half-open Z-Tuners, and a 3-point Radius bridge.
From Johnny Depp’s signature 6-string to Mike Campbell’s scaled-down Starplayer, it’s always an event when one of Duesenberg’s artist-signature instruments rolls through Music Experience. In the case of Duesenberg’s collaboration with soulful Canadian country singers the Bros. Landreth, we’re graced with a pair of twins — the instruments, we mean, not the brothers! The collab encompasses a custom slide-ready Paloma for Joey and a thumping Starplayer Bass for Dave, with each model uniquely tailored toward each player’s respective tastes and techniques. Did we mention their matching Catalina Sunset Rose finishes, modified Split/King pickups, and retro gold-foil-inspired pickup covers?
This guitar’s effortless playability empowers you to quickly connect dots on the fingerboard while creating richer musical routines every time you pick it up. A maple neck provides the snappy, quick response of classic Cali-style guitars that players love, but it does so with a set-neck design for enhanced sustain and improved access to the upper frets. Speaking of frets, the Paloma’s rosewood fingerboard’s 22 jumbo frets make for fluent bends, and each fret is pre-Plek’d at the point of manufacture for a fingerboard that’s guaranteed to work with you, not against you.
Founded by German guitar designer Dieter Gölsdorf in 1989, Duesenberg guitars represent a multinational mixing pot of American art deco aesthetics, hot-rod heritage, and exacting German engineering. Duesenberg’s utterly distinctive instruments — affectionately dubbed “Doozys” by their adherents — gleam with proprietary parts and pickups that merge the daring appointments of the early electric guitar age with the pinpoint precision of modern manufacturing excellence. From the iconic Starplayer semi-hollow guitars to basses, lap steels, and beyond, every Duesenberg that Music Experience carries embodies consummate artisanship. Fittingly, this unerring dedication has attracted more than a few luminaries, including the likes of Bob Dylan, Joe Walsh, Mike Campbell, John Mayer, and Tom Bukovac. For the musician who demands superlative performance, idiosyncratic innovation, and master-level musical detail in equal measure, only a Doozy will do.
