Duesenberg

Duesenberg

Dieter Golsdorf, the visionary designer and founder of Duesenberg Guitars, began his journey in 1978 by establishing a small business focused on producing and selling guitars and parts. With a passion for intricate mechanics and avant-garde designs, Golsdorf's dedication culminated in the birth of the Duesenberg brand in 1986. Since then, the company has been on a mission to craft outstanding instruments that captivate musicians and stand the test of time.

The making of a dream guitar

Take a behind-the-scenes look at our unique production process, beginning in the historic city of Varaždin, Croatia, where the preproduction facility handles the initial stages of crafting each Duesenberg. Woodwork is done mostly by hand, supported by custom CNC machines to ensure consistency and precision. Their finishes are expertly applied and polished by hand, reflecting the high standards we uphold. The instruments then travel to our headquarters in Hannover, Germany, where skilled craftsmen handle the final routing, fret leveling with our Plek machine, and hand assembly. Every guitar is meticulously fine-tuned before being shipped to musicians around the world.
