Duesenberg revise their Caribou hollowbody model with new colours, new pickups and a revised control layout. The iconic surf riffs to the classics 60’s; the Caribou has become a new icon in the Duesenberg line…
In designing a new guitar you first have to see it before you can build it. We looked west and saw the new Caribou. The iconic surf riffs to the classics 60’s; the Caribou has become a new icon in the Duesenberg line.
The Duesenberg Caribou was launched at Musicmesse 2012. For 2015 Duesenberg have revised the Caribou optically and technically. It’s now equipped with their proven pickup combination, comprising of the P-90 Domino in the neck position and the Grand Vintage humbucker at the bridge. The pickguard is black and for the body finish you can now also choose a deep high-gloss black.
