Fender Duo-Sonic Solid Body Electric Guitar (1964)

Fender Duo-Sonic Model Solid Body Electric Guitar (1964), made in Fullerton, California, serial # L19944, white lacquer finish, alder body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, original hard shell case.

This is the final version of the original style Fender Duo-Sonic, the company's two-pickup student guitar. By the middle of 1964 this model would be re-styled to match the new "Mustang", with a slightly different body and altered switching and cosmetics. This late "Pre-CBS" guitar's with clay dot fingerboard neck is dated Feb.64. The appointments include white body finish with a red tortoise celluloid pickguard, two white-covered pickups with an old-style 3-way toggle. A neat example of a rare Duo-Sonic variant.
 
Overall length is 37 5/8 in. (95.6 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 9/16 in. (40 mm.). A nice example with average play wear; lots of small dings and chips-knobs are repros but all other electronics, hardware original. A good sounding old 3/4 Fender with a funky vibe. Very Good + Condition.
