Duesenberg release two new lines for 2016 the Gran Royale hollowbody and the Gran Majesto semi-hollowbody. The Gran Royale is the new big-boy archtop in the Duesenberg lineup. Featuring dual pickups with the new Phonico pickup covers and new 4-Way rotary pickup switch. Available in two variations: the double cutaway and single cutaway version…
The Duesenberg Gran Royale features 60mm sides and a full hollow construction with soundpost for reduced feedback. Twin F-Holes, a floating transparent pickguard and unique “Duesenberg Wing” inlays on the fretboard underline the unique character of this instrument. Our new 4-Way pickup selector is located at the lower cutaway and adds a new variation to the way we combine pickups.
Last but not least, our new open style tuners allow for smooth tuning and weight reduction on the headstock and the new Phonico pickup line is love for both your ears and your eyes.
The Gran Royale is available in two variations: The double cutaway version comes in a deep high-gloss black and is equipped with a trapeze tailpiece. The single cutaway version is available in a Vintage Orange featuring a Duesenberg Radiator Tremola.
