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...
