Duesenberg instruments typically come with a limited manufacturer warranty (often around two years), though exact terms vary by retailer and whether the guitar is new or used. Keep your purchase receipt and register the instrument if required; contact MusicStreet for help with warranty questions.

How do I choose the right Duesenberg model for my playing style?

Think about the genres you play and the tone you want. The Starplayer TV is versatile across styles; the Paloma leans toward bright, modern tones suited to pop and rock. Trying models in store and asking our team for a demo is the best way to decide.
