Fender Duo Sonic 1962
Here’s a cool and vibey 1962 Fender Duo-Sonic in a well-worn and beautifully aged sunburst. Lightweight and great fun to play, this short-scale classic is ideal for players who love authentic 1960s Fender feel without the museum-piece price tag.
This Duo-Sonic weighs in at just 2700g. The medium frets are still in good shape, and the comfortable ’60s C-shaped neck feels instantly familiar in the hands.
The original bridge pickup delivers that raw, bright Duo-Sonic punch, while the neck pickup was replaced with a 1978 Fender single-coil, preserving period-correct tone. Both pickup covers have been swapped for Strat-style open-pole pieces, and the pots and pickup selector switch have been replaced.
This guitar shows plenty of playwear, including honest dings, finish wear, and a crack in the original pickguard near the input jack, purely cosmetic of course. Case is not included.
