I've always liked this one, though I haven't had an opportunity to play it. They occasionally pop up in the used market, usually in the low-mid $2000 range. A few people here have them, so hopefully they'll chime in for you.

It's a great guitar! The regular Starplayer TV model is exactly the same exept for the finish and the price (in europe the regular models are about 3/4 of the mice campbell modell).
Pros:
The beefy neck contour (very comfortable)
Wood combinations (Korina center block, maple neck, top, sides and bottom, rosewood fretboard)
The neck pickup
Build quality
Design

Cons:
Well, I have to say the bridge pickup, it's a little hot and bright.

If anyone is in CT. G Guitars in New Haven is now a Duesnenberg dealer.
I'm patiently waiting for the first shipment to arrive so i can at least see and play one in person. I'm really gunning for a Starplayer as well....

I have a Starplayer TV, which is essentially the same guitar, and I freakin' love it. Personally, I love the brightness of the bridge pickup. The neck is one of the best I've ever wrapped my hand around. Very smooth. Fat, but not too fat. And it's amazingly fast. Between the bridge pup and the neck (a wicked P90), you get a really diverse range of tones. This thing can get borderline Tele tones if you try hard enough. Or thick and creamy blues sounds. And their custom redesign of the Bigsby is so wonderful. Everything on it is perfectly dressed and designed. It looks amazing, but it's more amazingly put together.

I'm really in love with this thing. They're pricey, but well worth it. My Duo Jet is the only guitar that's comparable in quality. And the Doozy still beats it out. I picked it up the day of a show and thought ... well, it's a new guitar. I'll play it for a few songs and put it up since I doubt I'll have a real feel for it. WRONG. I played it all night. It's just so smooth and really wonderful to play.

it is a great guitar, well balanced and I also like the pickups. has a sound all its own and stays in tune quite well for a bigsby style guitar.
