"i read in a guitar magazine flatter fretboards make you shred harder so i made the flattest fretboard therefore i must shred super fucking hard"

in all seriousness, the price is a bit..... ambitious. i mean i love b&b necks more than anyone but i wouldn't go near a vintage partsmaster at that price. but hey, given guitar guitar are currently trying to get £5k for a b&b refin jaguar with bad routing, what do i know.

I mean... For years I would shred on this thing just to annoy people. 9.5" radius. Sounds great with a ton of gain. LOL

I was trying a Duo-Sonic II recently that was “all original except for a refret”. I remarked on how the fretboard was remarkable for almost 60 years olds, almost like it was brand new. In actuality, it had been planed flat like this too, but my attempt at dry sarcasm was met with cheery sales patter about Brazilian rosewood. He didn’t look so cheery when I told him I didn’t know if I should buy Brazilian rosewood given how enthusiastically customs officials toss anything made with it into the furnace. Another misfired attempt at dry humour on my part, although the look on his face was worth it. And it was a quick way out of sales talk on a guitar that was a horrid play.

The idea of Duo-Sonics as shredding machines really tickles me, though. Maybe I made a mistake not taking it? ;D But do they chug?!
