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.

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

The Fender C neck is comfortable and slim for fast action and effortless bending.
