My first pre CBS Fender!

And probably my last.Sorry it is not a Stratocaster or a Telecaster. Just a 1956 Duo-Sonic but I think it is pretty cool.I bought it from the original owner(through a mutual friend).

Congrats!! Lovely guitar!!

Duo's are great little guitars... They pack a lot of punch for their small size.

I'm a BIG fan of 3/4 scale guitars and basses. I, too, had a Duosonic once... Pawn shop find... Powder Blue (whatever Fender's official name for it was) with a retrofitted Hagstrom tremolo. Stolen from a show, of course... sigh...

Wow,amazing condition and the first year production. Great pickups in those.Basically the same as the Strat pickup of the same year,except the pole pieces are flush with the top of the bobbin so that the cover without the holes will sit flush on the baseplate. I'll bet it sounds great!

Thanks alot guys!Yes this guitar is in really nice shape.According to my friend the original owner bought this guitar in 1957 along with a Fender Deluxe amp(my friend has that amp now).The original owner only played it sporadically over the years so it only shows slight wear.It is all original except it has repro tuners on.I have the original tuners but the buttons have crumbled.I might put new buttons on the tuners at some point but I just had the guitar setup and it plays great so I will leave it as is for now

I new buttons on the original Klusons now
