| Dusenberg Guitars
We are proud to have taken on the Dusenberg guitar
line. When our rep extraordinaire, Mike Gregory, brought in the initial
samples, we simply snatched them up. Being a rather eclectic line and marrying
both classic and new guitar building “philosophies”, the concept is bold,
fresh, exciting and fits right in with what we, as guitarist, love to see
and play.
Doublecat 12
The Doublecat echoes the detailing of a British
Invasion classic with better playability, more versatility, stable tuning
and better construction. Let’s not even get into the flawless fretwork
and intonation. Okay, I admit…Dusenberg guitars had me after writing the
first sentence. This lovely specimen has a cat’s-eye sound hole very much
like a Rickenbaker guitar yet excels with the updated electronics. The
Doublecat 12 sports a PAF style humbucker in the bridge and a P90 in the
neck and makes for a wide array of tonal options. The body consists of
a two-piece alder body with a maple top. The bridge assembly configuration
also echoes the long discontinued Charvel Surfcaster guitar (I’ve always
been a sucker for those!!!). The Doublecat 12 really created quite a stir
with customers when it graced the wall of our store. All you need to invoke
those classic Brit invasion sounds is the DoubleCat 12 going through our
loveable Janglebox and presto…Instant twang!!!
