![]() How about the sound? I think it's actually quite good. Luckily, both of these are very simple changes. Not only is this bad for tuning, but it broke a B string a couple hours after it was installed. I've seen some vintage Fenders like that, too, but how do you justify this? This means that the B and E strings are going in at an angle next to sharp bent metal. The string tree is of the vintage type, which isn't necessarily terrible, but they didn't put a spacer underneath it, so it's screwed all the way down to the wood. ![]() ![]() To be fair, we use wireless units which probably put a little bit extra weight on the output jack when playing seated and the strap isn't supporting it, but regardless, a Switchcraft jack has never failed during that kind of use. The output jack is of a cheap import type, and more importantly, it failed during a practice, so it really is a crap output jack. There are two parts that are crap on the stock guitar: string tree and output jack. Ultimately, to me, a guitar's quality is not about the things screwed into it, but more about its neck, overall vibe, and its potential. It just means that I have a deep parts bin that I was willing to hit up to get that guitar just right. This doesn't necessarily mean the stock guitar is bad. Now, it's probably clear from the pictures that the guitar has not stayed stock. It's never going to look washed out when you hit it with stage lights. There's real depth to the finish and when it catches stage lights just right, it does wonderful things. Still pictures do not adequately show how stunning this finish really is because it's not a flat pastel finish as you'd expect a surf green to be. But I've gotten to know it inside and out, and to experience it as a player, as a band guitar tech, and also as a bandmate hearing the guitar regularly, which means I think I can be relatively objective about it. The unsung hero of the alternative underground, the Duo-Sonic is perfect for players who desire a unique sound and visual style.I didn't buy this guitar. ![]() Aesthetic appointments, including the knurled flat-top control knobs, cast/sealed tuning machines and a three-ply Mint Green pickguard, add a touch of classic Fender style to this updated design. A gloss polyester finish protects the body while the neck bears a satin polyurethane finish for fast, easy playability. The downsized body is comfortable for smaller players or those who enjoy energetic stage performances. The six-saddle string-through-body hardtail Strat® bridge increases sustain while the bent steel saddles add some zing to your tone, enhancing the upper harmonics to cut through a dense mix. Topped by a 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, the “C”-shaped maple neck is comfortable for all playing styles and ideal for players with smaller hands, or those who use extended chord forms. The 24” scale adds a bit of warmth and thickness to the guitar’s inherent tone, while granting a slinkier playing feel, making it easier to perform multi-step bends. Master volume and tone controls, along with a three-way pickup switch, shape the pickups’ voice to match the music. A surprisingly hip guitar with upgraded contemporary features, this instrument features slick style and a unique sound that’s perfectly at home in modern music.Īlmost infinitely flexible, the pair of Duo-Sonic single-coil pickups in the bridge and neck positions lends a unique character to for everything from bright, jangly arpeggios to heavy chords. Since its debut in 1956, the Duo-Sonic has found its way into the hands of genre-defining artists, becoming an underground sensation that helped create alternative music in the dingy clubs of New York City.
