Duesenberg Falken Tremolo Silver

Technical Review: Duesenberg Falken Tremolo Silver

The Duesenberg Falken Tremolo Silver is an electric guitar built around an alder body, a maple set-in neck, and two Duesenberg SplitKing Dual Coil pickups. Its listed specifications describe a conventional 25.5-inch scale, 22 medium jumbo frets, and a Duesenberg Radiator Tremola short model. It has been available since September 2024, with item number 587776. The stated price is 2,768, although the supplied information does not identify a currency.

This review is based only on the product specifications. No customer reviews are available, so claims about playing feel, tuning stability, sound, or build quality cannot be verified here. The details below explain what the listed components and measurements establish, without treating likely characteristics as confirmed results.

Body, Neck, and Fingerboard

The body is alder, with no separate top listed. The neck is maple and is set into the body. A rosewood fingerboard carries Duesenberg Wings inlays and cream binding. The silver finish is paired with nickel hardware, giving the instrument a clearly specified visual combination, though the supplied data does not describe the finish process or the exact shade.

The scale measures 648 mm, or 25.5 inches. That is the measurement between the nut and bridge used to define string scale length. The nut is 42.5 mm, or 1.67 inches, wide. The neck profile is described as Medium D, with a thickness of 21 mm at the first fret and 24 mm at the twelfth. Those measurements offer a more useful outline of the neck than the profile label alone, but they do not establish how it will feel in an individual player's hand.

The fingerboard radius is 305 mm, equivalent to 12 inches, and the guitar has 22 medium jumbo frets. The fret size and radius are specific construction details, not a guarantee of a particular setup or fret finish. The supplied specifications do not state the action, fret material, or factory intonation.

Pickups and Controls

Both the bridge and neck positions use Duesenberg SplitKing Dual Coil pickups. The listed layout is HH, meaning a pickup at each position, with a three-way pickup selector. Two additional switches select SplitKing pickup modes. The available data does not spell out the precise wiring options or describe how each mode changes the signal, so it would be premature to assign specific tones or coil combinations to those switches.

Volume and tone controls provide the stated basic adjustments. No control type, capacitor value, or wiring diagram is included in the specifications. The configuration gives buyers concrete information about the pickup system and its switching, while leaving detailed electrical behavior to confirmation from a wiring diagram or hands-on inspection.

Bridge and Vibrato

The bridge is a Duesenberg steel saddle design, paired with the Duesenberg Radiator Tremola short model. The product's name also identifies a tremolo, while the component specification uses "Tremola," Duesenberg's terminology for this vibrato unit. The supplied information does not include adjustment instructions, arm dimensions, bridge travel, or a quantified statement about tuning performance.

The guitar is fitted with Duesenberg Z-machine tuning machines. Its original strings are Duesenberg Custom, gauged.010 to.050. That gauge is the only specified string setup; the data does not say whether the instrument is shipped with alternate strings or which tuning is used at the factory.

Included Items and Buying Considerations

A gig bag is included, while a hard case is not. This distinction matters for buyers planning storage or transport, particularly if they require a rigid case. The listed sales unit is one piece. No further accessories or documentation are identified in the supplied details.

The Falken's specification sheet gives a useful overview of its core construction: alder body, set-in maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, dual-coil pickups, and a short-model Duesenberg vibrato. Neck dimensions, scale length, fret count, pickup positions, and switching hardware are also stated clearly. However, the available information does not establish the guitar's weight, acoustic or amplified character, setup quality, or long-term reliability. Those points require direct inspection or reliable playing tests.

For a purchase decision, the most practical checks would be the actual neck feel, the operation of both pickup mode switches, and the vibrato's behavior under the intended playing style. Buyers should also confirm the current price and currency with the seller. On specifications alone, the Duesenberg Falken Tremolo Silver is a distinctively equipped electric guitar, but its performance cannot be assessed from component names alone.
