ok, damn, they are pretty expensive. I don't how much that LPB "d-caster" is but it seems like that gretsch like one is going for around uh, *cough*$2500*cough*

They're on the pricey side if I can recall.
I think IIRC Jcyphe came into a bunch of those for relatively cheaps when the company was newer but sold them all.

Wow, haven't seen a duo-cut Duesenberg before. The thin profile w/top binding and double cut of that solidbody is quite attractive, although I've never wanted a Duesenberg.
And minus the cheapo plastic look, the guard has got a touch of an Italia Maranello thang going on there.

Thats actually exactly what I thought when I saw the picture. That and the D, on the horn, similar to Italia's nameplates. Its like a High-end Italia.

Could do without the rectangular scratchplate the pickups sit in- for some reason that bothers me. Love the double-cut looks though. It's a bit like a smaller Hofner Verithin.

Dano meets Italia. Too contrived for my liking, cant anyone move forward with design ideas for a change instead of looking backwards?

Those are hot! Too bad they are overpriced.

They don't really hold value used, surprisingly. I saw a DTV solidbody go for about 1000 on ebay.

Seen a few around shops in Manchester, they're well nice :D Didn't think they were too badly priced, though.

The 'D' and the stepped pickguard look a bit shit. Otherwise it's nice.
