Sliver of a Vintage Fender Duo Sonic
Never heard of this guy before. Never seen this guitar of his before!! Kinda cool / Kinda crazy but very lightweight.
his name is John Mayall.

Re: Sliver of a Vintage Fender Duo Sonic
Can’t tell if the post is meant to be tongue-in-cheek or not. Much like the Yardbirds, John Mayall’s band was a bit of a farm team for musicians who would later become big in their own right. So while I can understand not having heard of John Mayall, you are probably familiar with Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce (Cream); Peter Green, John McVie & Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac); Mick Taylor (Rolling Stones), etc. If you ever see a Marshall Bluesbreaker amp, a Bluesbreaker pedal, or any other gear with that name, it’s usually referring to the sound from Mayall’s “Beano” album. The Fender Bassbreaker amps are also a reference (Bassman + Bluesbreaker).
Anyway, apologies for the long-winded paragraph here, and I’ll feel really stupid if you intended your post to be tongue-in-cheek.

I do too in a weird way. Would love to just hold it and look it over.
My post wasn’t tongue-in-cheek at all.

Something about that thing says… Yeah. Just yeah.
Isn’t Sunburst a guarantee it’s NOT a refin?

Re: Sliver of a Vintage Fender Duo Sonic
Just a plank of wood and some strings is all you need.
Steinberger probably took a look at that and thought “You know, don’t really need that headstock either.”

Re: Sliver of a Vintage Fender Duo Sonic
Mayall had a bad habit of doing that. He did it to a couple of strats too.
