The Duke Sonic features a sleek offset Strat-meets-Les Paul Special shape, upping the comfort & balance factor on this classic 2 P90 design (LP Special). The Spanish Cedar neck features an Indian Rosewood fingerboard, 1 11/16" nut, jumbo nickel silver frets, and what Juha calls a "fast C" carve. Though that moniker might conjure memories of 80s style carves (ultra flat), this carve feels a bit like a slightly flatter 60s Oval C carve commonly found on a Strat. However you slice it, it's really comfortable and would be suitable for a wide range of players & styles. The playability and setup are excellent.
Loaded with a pair of Haussel dogear P90s (the same pickups found in Huber guitars), this guitar sounds incredible! Haussel manages to keep what we love about a great 50s style P90 - chime, pushed mids - but also makes them far more open sounding. Not modern per se, just clear, open, articulate and really inspiring/musical. We simply couldn't get this guitar to sound bad!
Condition: Very light worming on the back and a few light indentations on the neck (can't really feel them due to the open pore finish - you can't feel anything on the neck when playing), light pick markings on the guard/back plate/P90 covers, light tarnishing on the bridge, and very, very faint fret wear are the only signs of prior ownership. Setup is excellent.
Strat lovers looking for a Gibson style guitar would be wise to check this guitar out. Juha has done a fantastic job of taking elements of those styles and rolling them into something new, super fun, and tone-filled. Priced with original Hiscox hardshell case.
