They were NOT offset. The pickup was closer to the bridge and the Guard was different. Knobs were placed differently, also.
That said, I want one!
The new one isn't offset, either.

So is a Strat, but that doesn't qualify it as an Offset guitar....bubbles_horwitz wrote:they both are, actually. albeit very slightly.RumorsOFsurF wrote:IPLAYLOUD wrote: I love the look of the guitar...but did they actually LOOK at a REAL 50's Duo?

Cool. Does it play well? Did you have to set it up properly or was it good right out of the box?

Re: NEW DUO SONIC PORN!
Actually, it could use a little tweaking but the setup really isnt bad at all!
I was pleasantly surprised.

Re: NEW DUO SONIC PORN!
Gorgeou looking guitar, Doug!
I'm looking for a shortscale or mini guitar for my son and he loves teh Goldz (You should see his dressing room creations!) - this would be it!
....I just checked the euro-prices on it and I'm let down.... €390! Way too much for a China guitar IMO.....
That decal and some brass saddles would look nice.
I hate how the do that ugly plastic truss nut thing on all the squires!

Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

I went to the local Guitar Center but they don't have them yet. It looks so cool.

Nice!
Very vintage-y... It has alnico V pickups that are pretty darn decent!

Re: NEW DUO SONIC PORN!
I really like the personality of the Duo-Sonics. They are kinda like the "younger brother" guitar that is always gratetful to be played and just looking at you saying "Hi. How was your day?" Hehe
