Julia

PURE ELEGANCE

Julia is made for players who value style, embrace creative freedom, and aren't afraid to carve their own path. Blending timeless design with exceptional tone, it's an instrument for those who refuse to compromise on sound or self expression.

Equipped with a Domino P90 and the innovative Split/King Dual-Coil pickup, Julia delivers a remarkably versatile palette of inspiring tones.

All of it comes wrapped in a design that captures the effortless elegance and bold spirit of the 1950s and '60s.

Chambered Construction

A solid body that features big sound chambers for enhanced tone and weight reduction. Particularly characteristic tone somewhere between a solid and semi-hollow construction.

Split/King Pickup

The Julia features our innovative Duesenberg Split/King Pickup. This pickup is capable of delivering both real humbucker and real singlecoil tone through a special construction unlike any other pickup.

Plek Processed

A pleked fretboard guarantees perfectly level frets. This is the basis for our fret polishing and setup work all done by hand that eventually makes our instruments play like nothing you have ever played before.

SPLIT/KING DUAL-COIL PICKUP

Two Voices. One Switch.

The Duesenberg Split/King Dual-Coil bridge pickup combines the sparkle and clarity of a true single coil with the power and punch of a full humbucker. Unlike conventional coil-splitting designs, it doesn't simply disable one coil. Instead, it's built around a genuine single coil that can be paired with a specially engineered second coil to create an authentic humbucking sound.

A discreet switch behind the tremolo lets you toggle between both modes in an instant. An additional Direct Out switch routes the bridge pickup straight to the output jack, bypassing the rest of the electronics for the purest possible signal.

Mahogany & Maple

Julia is made from solid premium mahogany with large sound chambers, a maple top and elegant double binding. The neck is made from a single piece of maple fitted with a rosewood fingerboard and a cream binding.

Diamond Deluxe Tremola

Meet the Vibrato System that has changed the idea of what a classic design can do.

Buttery smooth action, reliable tuning stability and string changes that are a breeze are just the main aspects of our unique vibrato design.

The Diamond Deluxe gives you the best tone while being lightweight. Heavy duty needle and nylon bearings give you the highly responsive Duesenberg feel when using the vibrato arm. The arm itself can be turned freely for 360° and can be adjusted to your preferred angle and length. The strings are simply guided through the holes in the bar underneath the arm-axis and can be lead to the tuners without any hassle.

Proven daily on the stages of this world.

COLORS

Julia comes in three distinctive finishes, each with its own unmistakable character.

Black pairs a bold patterned pickguard with timeless sophistication, while Catalina Sunset Rose and Narvik Blue are matched with classic white pickguards for a fresh, refined look.

Nickel Hardware

Most of our hardware is nickel finished.

You will find the geometrical three steps in almost every part on our instruments, from the curves on the headstock to the shape of the output jack.

When compared to regular chrome finishes, nickel has a beautiful warm and elegant sheen and ages naturally over time. It's the way things were done before chrome became the standard. If you don't want the hardware on your instrument to age, we recommend regular cleaning.

It's a case you can just throw in the back of a car, train or airplane and won't have to worry about.
