The Falken comes with a confident, impressive body shape. The innovative split/king pickups open up previously unknown worlds in terms of versatility and sound quality. And its construction defies all the demands of rough everyday touring on the road.
The right companion for all brave people in this world.
The Falcons.
This solid body construction ensures a direct response, a long sustain and prevents any feedback. The body, skillfully formed from alder, is classically combined with a set maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard.
The two split/king pickups produce authentic single coil and humbucker sounds.
With the two switches on the lower aluminum pickguard, you can set the operating modes individually for each pickup.
A fretboard processed by our Plek system guarantees perfectly dressed frets. This is the best foundation for our hand fret polish and the final setup that ensures our instruments play like nothing before.
The Falken comes with either the elegant Wrapper Stop-Tailpiece or the deservedly acclaimed Radiator Tremola.
Two pickguards made of anodized, brushed aluminum, the mirrored headstock, "Wing" fretboard inlays and two split/king pickups set a new standard.
The two split-coil switches, located on the lower pickguard, can be raised or lowered at will with a unique "elevator" mechanism.
The innovative concept, in which a real single coil is expanded to a humbucker with an additional, precisely tuned coil, enables you to call up both pickup sounds with just one switch movement. The basis of the Split/King is actually a real, full-fledged single-coil pickup, which can also stand on its own compared to the usual split humbuckers.
This pickup offers maximum versatility and sound quality and represents the current pinnacle of our pickup development.
THERE ARE NOT TWO PICKUPS - ACTUALLY FOUR.
RADIATOR VIBRATO SYSTEM
THE DUESENBERG RADIATOR TREMOLA IS THE EVOLUTION OF OUR OWN VIBRATO SYSTEM DESIGN.
It delivers all the features you've come to appreciate and love about our Diamond Deluxe vibrato system in a new, great design. Buttery soft tremolo, the absolutely reliable tuning stability and a string change that is child's play - these are the most obvious features of this great development.
The strongest, resilient needle and nylon bearings also ensure the well-known, direct Duesenberg feel when using the vibrato arm. This arm is also freely rotatable by 360°, its angle and length can be adjusted individually. And: The strings are easily and practically guided through eyelets below the axis and anchored there.
