1959 Fender Duo-Sonic Desert Sand
DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a fantastic sounding 1959 Fender Duo-Sonic electric guitar in its original Desert Sand finish complete with the coveted gold anodized pickguard. This instrument features a dual pickup design with a late ’50s rounded neck profile, 22.5 inch scale length, and a seriously cool vibe. Neck is pencil dated 1/59. Overall this guitar is very original with the exception of the nut, a faded area on the front of the body where we assume a sticker was, and tuners which have been replaced with a modern set. There is evidence under the tuners that a different set was installed and in turn additional screw holes exist in the headstock. As shown in our photos there is a decent amount of play and finish wear and a decent amount of the finish has chipped away from the neck itself given a cool worn in feel. The original 3 way switch functions as it should with the exception of the neck position which acts the same as the middle. Given the wiring is entirely stock we didn’t want to mess with it. A new 3 way switch would fix this issue. Sounds and plays wonderfully and comes complete with a gig bag.
