USED FENDER / 1963 Duo Sonic [03]

A brightly colored '63 Duo-Sonic is in stock!

The Fender Duo-Sonic is a Student model electric guitar introduced in 1956, featuring a short 24" scale and simple construction. Its compact body and lightweight design make it easy to play small, and its unique bright and punchy sound has made it a favorite in the indie rock and alternative scenes.

This new arrival is a 1963 model.
It is a bright cherry burst color and has a sturdy appearance.

We could not confirm the date of the pickups, but we think they are original from the wiring material and the solder. Both bridge and neck pickups are equipped with black bobbins.
The sound is exquisitely balanced with a vintage-like crisp and sweet tone.

Weighing less than 3kg, the "A-neck" design makes this guitar easy to handle, which is unprecedented in the history of Fender and electric guitars in general.
If you begin to feel that your regular electric guitar is too heavy, switching to one of these guitars may be an option for you.

Models such as Jazzmaster, Jaguar, and Mustang are becoming the standard these days. If you are a guitarist who is looking for a unique model that is different from the others, this is one guitar that you should not miss.
Please try it at our store.
