Fender '65 Duo Sonic II (Used)

This Fender Duo Sonic II electric guitar was crafted in 1965. It has been meticulously cared for by our in-shop technicians. They have expertly re-strung and set it up with low action, ensuring an optimal playing experience. The frets are in excellent shape, promising smooth fretwork. This guitar has some wear on it, highlighted in the photos, but it still plays like a gem. This guitar does not come with a case, but we have plenty of cases in stock that would pair perfectly with this decadent guitar. This guitar weighs 6.7 lbs.

This guitar has an A style neck, is refinished, and does not have the original pickups.

In 1964 the Duo-Sonic was redesigned based on the Fender Mustang that had recently been added to the student model line but without the vibrato tail-piece. The student guitars now all featured larger and slightly offset bodies, necks with larger headstocks and rosewood fingerboards and plastic pickguards with the volume and tone controls mounted on a separate metal plate. Pickup selection was moved above the pickups on both the Duo-Sonic and the Mustang and utilized two 3-position on-off-on switches that allowed for in and out-of-phase sounds. The pickups were also reverse-wound/reverse-polarity, which made them into a functional humbucker when both pickups were used simultaneously. Also added in this redesign was the option of a 24-inch scale neck in addition to the 22.5 inch scale.
