Fender Player Duo-Sonic Desert Sand Electric Guitar

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.

C NECK SHAPE WITH 9.5" RADIUS AND MEDIUM JUMBO FRETS

The Fender 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 instruments 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
