Tv jones are sweet...I also love the Duesenbergs..and there pickups



I love the Duesenbergs they are awesome. I want to make a guitar body after the one they have its sleek. About the pickups though how do they compare to BKP or are they totally different. I want to make a billy bo model as well but somehow I am gonna have to find templates. But do tell me about the sound of the pickups and thanks to all for posting this is a fun thread

the quality level is similar. the tone, and obviously the look is quite different

Some gorgeous looking guitars there ! Each epitomises it's genre so well. This is one that keeps haunting my dreams ( A gibson L5 CES  ) , though with perhaps nicer ' split' / coloured M.O.P fretboard inlays :



'Peerless' guitars have some nice archtops, but not sure about the design of the headstock(s). The 'Jazz City' attracts me with it's low lustre body - and that nice compact 20 fret ( my favourite Jazz Guitar configuration ) fretboard.



Fortunately, I'm still very much enamoured with this little Lady, which has the profound adavantage of :

A) Costing 1/10th of the Gibson

B) Having B.K.P. pickups !

Wez Venables made this 'Vociferator', it's a maple-bubinga-wenge-bubinga-maple neck-through with bubinga wings and a wenge top. Ebony fretboard and volume knob. Sperzel locking tuners (custom made because the standard ones are too small to fit the low strings through!), and string-through. Currently set up with 14-68 strings. Fanned frets, 26.5" on the treble side, 28" on the bass side.

Beasty. I'd like a traditional looking SG done like that.

And, you are the only person I know of who uses thicker strings than me...
GREAT GOOGILY MOOGILY!

@ Mikey5:

Sorry, I don't own the white Billy-Bo.

TV Jones pickups are excellent. I have a Power Jet with TV Jones Powertrons. They'll handle everything from jazz to country, from blues to rockabilly, punk, classic rock. Even Iron Maiden sounds convincing.

Both the Cigno and Firenze remind me somewhat of the Schecter Hellcat.
