{"product_id":"fender-duo-sonic-ii-solid-body-electric-guitar-1966-7674","title":"Fender Duo-Sonic II Solid Body Electric Guitar (1966)","description":"Fender Duo-Sonic II Model Solid Body Electric Guitar (1966), made in Fullerton, California, serial # 132176, red lacquer finish, alder body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, original grey hard shell case. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Duo-Sonic II was made about two years after the model's redesign, with components interchangeable with the new Mustang in mid-1964. This guitar has the shorter of the two scale lengths offered, 22 1\/2\" as found on all Duo-Sonics and Musicmasters made before mid-1964, but after that most shared a longer 24\" scale neck with the Mustang. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSomething of a forgotten model, the Duo-Sonic was largely eclipsed in the mid-'60s by the trem-equipped Mustang which sold over 16,000 units in this year alone. With its non-trem body-mounted bridge, the Duo-Sonic II is a more solid-feeling instrument to the player than the tremolo-equipped Mustang it shares all other features with. The switches for the two pickups offer on\/off and in\/out of phase pickup options, identical to the Mustang. This is a nicely preserved example and a fine-playing, light, handy little guitar.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 38 1\/4 in. (97.2 cm.), 12 1\/4 in. (31.1 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 1\/2 in. (3.8 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 22 1\/2 in. (572 mm.). Width of nut is 1 5\/8 in. (41 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA nice, all-original guitar with some light wear but no alterations or repairs. The finish shows checking overall and some dings and dents, but retains a nice vibrant color. There is some corrosion through the plating on the bass side of the bridge -- otherwise, the hardware is pretty clean. The frets show very little wear, and overall this is a great-playing example of Fender's pocket-sized rocker. Includes a nice original HSC. Excellent - Condition.","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853302648972,"sku":"7674","price":1950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/fender-duo-sonic-ii-solid-body-electric-guitar-1966-7674","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
