Guitarist Tom Bukovac is known as the "Session Man" in the music industry and has played on more than 700 albums to date - and counting. You name the album and he probably played on it. From Steven Tyler to Keith Urban. From Vince Gil to Willie Nelson. Tom has played for them all and shown why he is one of the most in-demand musicians today. Tom, or "Uncle Larry" as some call him, likes to give insights and tips on life as a Session Guitarist on his successful YouTube show "HOME SKOOLIN".
Duesenberg's journey together with Tom has given many of the songs we hear today the distinctive Duesenberg tone. The Duesenberg Alliance Series Tom Bukovac "Session Man" signature model is designed to be the perfect instrument for all session musicians around the world.
Some Key Features of the Session Man:
SEMI HOLLOW BODY: Semi-acoustic guitars deliver a unique, open tone that cannot be compared to the sound of a solid body guitar. The center block provides the best resistance to feedback.
GRAND VINTAGE HUMBUCKERS: The "Session Man" is equipped with two GrandVintage humbuckers. They deliver a clear and defined sound without background noise. A benchmark for classic humbucking tone, the GrandVintage is a balanced premium humbucker with an even and wide frequency range. Key components such as the pickup baseplate and open caps are made of nickel silver - the only material that doesn't negatively impact the frequencies generated early in the signal chain. The GrandVintage delivers the famous Duesenberg tone that conveys all the nuances in your playing and remains assertive in every situation.
PIEZO PICKUP: The additional piezo pickup in the bridge delivers increased transparency and clarity on demand. It can be added to the regular pickup signal via the multi-tone potentiometer.
DIAMOND DELUXE TREMOLA: A Butter-soft tremolo, great tuning stability and nerve-friendly string changes are its most obvious advantages, But there is still more to discover: The Diamond Deluxe Tremola offers the best sound quality because it is made of lightweight materials. Precise needle bearings and robust nylon bearings as well as a precisely tuned spring also guarantee a direct response with simultaneous sensitive tremolo. In addition, the arm can be rotated 360° and individually adjusted in length and angle. We already mentioned the unproblematic string change above. It is so simple because the strings are simply passed through eyelets below the axle and anchored there. Well proven in daily use on the stages of this world.
NO PICKGUARD: The usual 3-step pickguard bar that holds the pickguard in place has been removed on this model to allow more freedom of movement for fingerstyle sessions.
CUSTOM LINE CASE: Like all Duesenberg Guitars, the Duesenberg Custom Line Case is included with the purchase of this instrument. Indestructible like a flight case, classically cut to shape, built from quality materials and engineered to withstand the most realistic and unrealistic odds. You can throw this suitcase in the trunk of your car, in the overhead compartment of a train or in the hold of an airplane without having to give it a second thought to it or its contents.
