Fender Player Duo-Sonic HS Electric Guitar, Maple FB, Sienna Sunburst 014-4022-547

A modernized version of a student-turned-classic instrument originally released in 1956 the Duo-Sonic HS model’s compact form belies its giant-sized sound. It’s the ideal companion for adventurous players who aren’t afraid to buck the norm and shatter expectations.The Duo-Sonic HS new pickups let the true voice of the instrument shine. The single-coil Duo-Sonic neck pickup is joined by a vintage-spec humbucking bridge pickup for flexible tone that can match any playing style imaginable. The push/pull tone pot switches to single coil operation on the humbucking bridge pickup unlocking a variety of tones that can be shaped via the master volume and tone controls to find just the right sound. The 24″ scale adds a bit of warmth and thickness to the guitar’s inherent tone while granting a slinkier playing feel making it easier to perform multi-step bends. Topped by a 9.5″-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets the “C”-shaped maple neck is comfortable for all playing styles and ideal for players with smaller hands or those who use extended chord forms. The six-saddle string-through-body hardtail Strat bridge increases sustain while the bent steel saddles add some zing to your tone enhancing the upper harmonics to cut through a dense mix.

The smaller body is ideal for smaller players or for energetic stage performances. A gloss polyester finish protects the body while the neck bears a satin polyurethane finish for fast easy playability. The aesthetic appointments including the knurled flat-top control knobs cast/sealed tuning machines and a three-ply Mint Green pickguard add a touch of classic Fender style to this updated and modernized design. A new take on a classic guitar that’s flown under most player’s radars the Duo-Sonic HS is ready and rarin’ to go with surprisingly giant sound.
