Completed Duo Sonic project

[Stratelejazzuar]

Well, I think it's complete - I'll probably end up changing something on it eventually, but for now, it's done.
Body is a 60-something refin-ed Duo-Sonic (ebay), neck is Warmoth (ebay), pickups are Fender Texas Special (bridge), Robert Cray (neck)
Hope you like it. I do!

Beautiful. All you need is a decal. And what's that colour called?

I love Duo-Sonics!!!  Yours is beautiful.  Thanks for the post.

Thanks! There was a crappy Fender decal on the headstock when I received it - I tried to take it off but it wouldn't budge, so I basicaly scrubbed off the Fender logo. You can still see the square outline if you hold it to the light properly.

As for the finish, on the ebay description it said "blonde" but it's not transparent at all. It's kind of an aged white colour, and an amatuer job. No 'orange peel' effect, or big runs, though. I can see some of the wood grain texture under the paint, so at least it doesn't have a nasty thick finish...

Hey there, I think I know you ... and think I've played this Duo-Sonic.

Nice piece.

We need to get Jazzmasters by the end of this year...

cute duo sonic! ive always wanted a vintage one cos thyre not too expensive and ive never been a big fan of the mustang bridge

congrats!

Yeah, I had a mustang but sold it, but wanted one again, but then i didn't cuz of the wacky bridges and narrow nut widths. So I went with the duo sonic, got the warmoth neck (which has a 1 11/16th nut width), and then added a toronado bridge (had to drill string through holes).
