UTILIZATION

Pleasant neck and varnish if you like thick necks...

Normal access to the upper frets, considering the guitar type.

I love the playability: it's a very small, light and well-balanced guitar.

SOUNDS

It's a vintage-style guitar so fat sound fans should forget about it...

Good sound. It reminds the sound of small Fender guitars: Musicmaster, Bronco, Duo Sonic, Mustang, etc.

The sound is less twangy than a Squier 51, for example... but I find the acoustic sound is very good, and the electric sound could be very good with better-quality pickups.

OVERALL OPINION

I just received it.

I like its playability most of all. The pickups could sound better...

I try affordable guitars regularly and the Duo Sonic does what it should pretty good. It provides a vintage sound at the price of a budget guitar... It has a real personality.

Very good value for money considering the high-quality finish.

I bought a secondhand Mexican reissue of the Fender Duo Sonic a few years ago... The 90's Mexican Duo Sonic sounds better, but it was more expensive...
