History
Duesenberg was originally a brand for futuristic heavy metal guitars, until 1989.[5]
Since 1991, Dieter Gölsdorf uses the brand within his company, Göldo Music GmbH, in Hannover, Germany.[5]
In 1995, Gölsdorf developed a guitar called the Starplayer, which would be the predecessor of its most popular model, the Starplayer TV. The Duesenberg brand was used again for these instruments.[5]
In 2004, the company opened a branch in Fullerton, California. The company moved from the city center to the outskirts of Hannover in 2011.[5]
