Fender Duo-Sonic
Product no: 9000-0028-5100 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Fans of offset guitars will love this Fender Duo-Sonic model in Capri Orange. It has a small body made of alder and is perfect for guitarists who are energetic on stage. The glossy polyester lacquer on the body protects it, as does the satin gloss lacquer on the maple neck and fretboard, while at the same time giving the neck a fast feel. The short scale length of 24 inches and the narrow nut of 42 mm make this Duo-Sonic a sensation to play.

Duo-Sonic: versatile sound

Fender have equipped the Duo-Sonic with two single-coil pickups that are surprisingly versatile. They can deliver bright chords, as well as sound with plenty of punch. With the master volume, master tone and 3-way pickup switch you have access to a wide variety of sounds. A fixed Strat Hardtail bridge with six saddles is fitted that provides excellent intonation, sustain and optimal tuning stability.

Guitar with character

Since their introduction in 1956, Duo-Sonic guitars have ended up in the hands of some truly groundbreaking artists. This offset model became a sensation in the alternative music scene in the underground clubs in New York. For a guitar with such a rich history its surprisingly modern, and produces a sound that's perfect for today's music. The Fender Duo-Sonic is a great option for any guitarist looking for a model with its own sound and look.
