Duesenberg Alliance Series Dave Baksh Model

Dave "Brownsound" Baksh is co-lead guitarist and background vocalist with the canadian rock/punk band SUM41. In collaboration with him, Duesenberg developed this signature model based on the "Paloma" model.

Like the Paloma, The Alliance Series Dave Baksh features a solid alder body in combination with a one-piece maple neck and rosewood fretboard delivering outstanding clarity and attack and a tight low-end frequency response. It is equipped with 3 Duesenberg pickups, which can be switched separately or in combination by a 4-Way rotary pickup selector. The two Singlecoils deliver great transparency and the Little Toaster at the bridge is known for its sparkling trebles and wide tonal range. The additional kill-switch, located between the volume and tone control, allows you to instantly switch the instrument off or even create some unusual effects. On top of that, the Duesenberg design "Wrapper"-Tailpiece brings a super-tight attack and allows easy string changes. The instrument is littered with references to Dave's personal taste and history. The laser-etched lion heads on the pickup controls refer to his Indian descent, while the Magpie on the 12th fret and the two white stripes on the pickguard are a nod to his favourite soccer club.
