These are excellent guitars!
1. brass saddle top-loader bridge.
2. clear or black (or no) pickup covers.
3. lots and lots of playing, never use a guitar stand, and never clean off the sweat (or beer or blood should it happen).

Re: Pimping out a Desert Sand Duo Sonic (ideas wanted)
I picked up a 90's Duo-Sonic in the same color a while back and went through a process of deciding what to do with it. I had contemplated a color change to turquoise or coral but ended up sticking with the orginal color once I saw in person how good a black pickguard looks against it. The off white layers of the guard are an almost exact match to the paint.
I got a WD guard with off white accent layers and their wide bevel and it's great. I found pickup covers and a switch tip that matched pretty closely.
For the knobs, I was debating Mustang type or cream Brownface amp knobs. The latter didn't match the other bits as closely as I had hoped so I went with black. I like how the knobs tend to disappear this way.
