Fender Duo-Sonic Electric Guitar with Maple Fingerboard Capri Orange

This is a great guitar. I went to guitar center played it. Loved the color Capri orange and loved the maple neck and how it was so light. It's alot more slinkier to play since it's a short scale but it makes bends and weird chords easier to play and plus it's an actually fender with all the upgrades as the player series sadly doesn't have a wammy but all and all this is a great guitar and it's definitely worth it

Just got one of these for Christmas in the surf green color, playing mainly out of a Vox AC15. For only two pickups this guitar can really go places. The shorter scale is refreshing to play and is quickly adjusted to. In the long run, look at upgrading the volume pots, there is a gradual volume increase from about 0-9, but after 9 there is a substantial jump in volume. However, you could keep the pot and play around 9 as your normal full volume and use that extra jump from 9-10 when you're really looking for a boost. Love this guitar, great modern upgrade to a secret classic.

This guitar is exactly what I wanted in an electric. The playability is smooth and it gives me that jangly sound, when paired with a decent tube amp. It is perfect for emulating some of my guitar heroes but without investing in the level of gear they use. Plus, it's orange!

Celebrate National Short Scale guitar day by getting a 24 inch scale Fender offset Duo Sonic. I did and couldn't be happier! I was attracted to this because of color and scale length. These are fun to play for me not having to reach so much. Excellent having around for the grand kids and other children with short arms and small hands who want to play. I swapped pickups for SD Hotrails in neck and JB In bridge. Plays as good as any 25.5 inch scale Fender. MIM, excellent all the way around. I call mine Pumpkin Head.

So I had the opportunity to pick one of these up in GC and play one. Had no idea what a Duo-Sonic was, never seen one before. But hey it had a Strat neck and that was good enough for me. Wow.. this thing is amazing! It's a short scale which feels a little odd but you quickly get used to it. The neck pickup sounds very Strat like if you roll the tone back a little and the bridge pickup is very reminiscent of a Tele. Using both creates a very beautiful and unique tone. I love the body, it feels really nice on your lap and the whole thing is very light. I really like the string through body with the hardtail bridge it really helps the sustain. The maple neck is great, glossy on the front but the back is a stain finish which helps you move very quickly. Plus what's not to love about the design?! It looks like the offspring of a Stratocaster and a Telecaster with some P-Bass sprinkled on top. Strat neck, string through body and knobs of a Tele and the pickguard comes down very similarly to a P-Bass. The colors it's offered in are very funky and cool as well. I have the Capri Orange one and it's very pretty, the mint green pickguard just completes the 56 vibe it's going for with the modernness of the bridge and whatnot. The quality is awesome just like everything else coming out of the Mexico factory. Pick one up if you can you won't be sorry. Very fun and cool guitar!

Happy I bought this model; easy to play, awesome neck, sounds great and looks beautiful (Aged white).
