Tuning Machines: Fender Standard Cast/Sealedīridge: 6-Saddle Strings-Through-Body Strat Hardtail with Bent Steel Saddles Nut (Material/Width): Synthetic Bone, 1.650” (42 mm) The contemporary aesthetic paired with the modern electronic upgrades - the pair of Duo-Sonic single-coil pickups, three-way pickup switch, mint green pickguard, and classic Fender hardware - make this guitar infinitely flexible in sound and performance. Originally designed as a student instrument, the Duo-Sonic quickly took off for it's authentic Fender tone on a short-scale body which made it easier to play, both on and off stage. The mim ones were pretty much all ok I tried.Since its debut in 1956, the Duo-Sonic has been the underground heavy-hitter for some of rock n' rolls founding musicians. Necks sucked, frets stabby, pickups less useable than the stock mim ones (which I already said I swapped anyway). The squier DS's I tried were hit and miss, 1 in 4 or 5 were ok.

I only "need" about 1 more electric, and it'll be a jag. Modern C shape, not really much shoulder to it. Got "comfortable thickness" as opposed to too thin where it fatigues your wrist. I might still swap the bridge (the hardtail strat rectangle works, but it doesn't mesh with the curves like a vintage looking duosonic 3 barrel bridge or a toronado bridge would.) The neck is good.

My duosonic feels more substantial than my Japanese pawn shop series mustang.

I'm in fact done buying full fender scale guitars for the foreseeable future. I run 10-48s on my 3 guitars that are 24" scale. If you don't like 24" scale guitars, you don't like 24" scale guitars. Also, I always liked playing my grandfathers 70s mustang. I've played teles for ages, but my main guitar early on was a toronado (so LP scale). Keep in mind, I'm 5'3" and have small hands. Pickups got replaced with hotter ones from Buddha. Replaced the barely mint green guard with a semi translucent white one. The finish on Jimi’s guitar is something that’s less clear. The guitar had a 22.5-inch short-scale rosewood neck, two single-coil pickups, a fixed bridge, and a white pickguard. Definitely not older than late 1964 which is when the model went through some major design changes. This is after I replaced the anodized pickguard with a cream plastic one: Jimi’s Duo-Sonic was likely from the early to mid-60s. My only gripe is that the rounded edges of the body make the guitar want to slide away from me when I play sitting down, which is pretty much how I always play. 11 strings and it's pretty easy to bend strings on it. I string mine with Ernie Ball Power Slinky. But it's not one of those thin "Modern C" shapes either. I like fat necks, and this definitely isn't fat. After a recent pickguard change it hasn't been doing that, so maybe moving the switch around a little somehow helped. Sometimes it just won't engage a pickup and I have to flip it back and forth to engage it. The pickup selector switch is a little sketchy, though. Some people like the hum bucker version, but in my opinion the guitar sounds sooo much better in all 3 positions with the two single coils.and it looks better! I won it in a raffle and sold it because I wanted the one with two single coils. I had a humbucker/single version before the one I have now. It inspires some pretty cool chord extensions and scales. I have one with the two single coil pickups and love it. Click to expand.I'm going to assume the 2019 Duo Sonic is the Player series Duo Sonic, with the 24" scale.
