The Duesenberg Alliance Series Joe Walsh boasts numerous details and appointments that are deeply connected to the style and history of its legendary namesake. The Alliance Series Joe Walsh sports a laminated spruce top, laminated flamed maple back and sides, and a solid center block to safeguard against unwanted feedback. You'll appreciate the incredible playing comfort afforded by this semi-hollowbody electric guitar's extra-slim semi-hollow design, which is impeccably matched with an easy-playing Medium "D"-shaped maple neck and an elaborately Plek'd Indian rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is designed to bring out the best in any amp you plug it into, thanks to the one-two punch provided by its Duesenberg LittleToaster and SingleTwin Mini pickups. Duesenberg Z-Tuners and a steel saddle bridge offer rock-solid stability, and the Radiator vibrato really lets your creativity soar. This instrument is replete with custom appointments, which include fingerboard inlays that spell Joe's name in Morse code, a Tibetan Knot graphic between the pickups, and mixed nickel and gold hardware. The Alliance Series Joe Walsh also includes a fetching PUR lacquer finish and Duesenberg's trademark geometrical 3-stepped styling.

Duesenberg: the 6-string pride of Deutschland





Founded by German guitar designer Dieter Golsdorf in 1989, Duesenberg guitars represent a multinational mixing pot of American art deco aesthetics, hot-rod heritage, and exacting German engineering. Duesenberg's utterly distinctive instruments ? affectionately dubbed "Doozys" by their adherents ? gleam with proprietary parts and pickups that merge the daring appointments of the early electric guitar age with the pinpoint precision of modern manufacturing excellence. From the iconic Starplayer semi-hollow guitars to basses, lap steels, and beyond, every Duesenberg that Sweetwater carries embodies consummate artisanship. Fittingly, this unerring dedication has attracted more than a few luminaries, including the likes of Bob Dylan, Joe Walsh, Mike Campbell, John Mayer, and Tom Bukovac. For the musician who demands superlative performance, idiosyncratic innovation, and master-level musical detail in equal measure, only a Doozy will do.
