Fender  Player Duo Sonic™, Maple Fingerboard, Tidepool

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. 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.

Features:

• 24” scale length; “C”-shaped maple neck
• Two Duo-Sonic single-coil pickups
• 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets
• Six-saddle string-through-body hardtail Strat® bridge with bent steel saddles
• Master Volume and Tone controls; three-way pickup switch

PLAYER SERIES PICKUPS
Designed for authentic Fender tone—with a bit of an edge—our Player Series pickups are crisp and articulate, a modern tweak of our classic sound.

C NECK SHAPE WITH 9.5" RADIUS AND MEDIUM JUMBO FRETS
Our “C” neck is comfortable and slim for fast action and effortless bending.

HARDTAIL STRING-THROUGH-BODY BRIDGE
A hardtail bridge enhances vibration transfer resulting in increased sustain while the six individual saddles can be adjusted for precise intonation along each string.

“F”-STAMPED NECK PLATE
Each Player Duo-Sonic includes an “F”-stamped neck plate, leaving no doubt as to the instrument’s pedigree.

22 FRETS
Adding another fret lets you bend the highest D up to an E, giving you access to four octaves of musical possibilities.

MORE TRADITIONAL BODY RADII
The Player Duo-Sonic body is hand-shaped to original specifications.
