🎸 1960 Fender Duo-Sonic | Slab Board | Pro-Refin "Desert Sand" 🎸

Capture a piece of the Fender Golden Era.

This guitar is an exceptional 1960 Fender Duo-Sonic. This is a "pre-CBS" gem from the most coveted transition period in Fender history. Featuring the legendary Slab Rosewood fretboard and a period-correct restoration, this guitar offers the look, feel, and "chiming" tone of a 1960s icon at a fraction of the cost of a Stratocaster from the same year.

✨ Highlights & Provenance

This Duo-Sonic has been meticulously maintained and remains a stunning example of Leo Fender’s early short-scale engineering:

• Year: 1960 (The "Slab Board" Era).
• Finish: Professionally refinished in period-correct Desert Sand. This restoration was done to the highest standards, perfectly capturing the iconic hue of the late '50s/early '60s student models.
• Neck: Original maple neck with a thick, dark Brazilian Rosewood Slab Fingerboard. The "Clay Dot" inlays are intact, and the neck profile is that perfect, comfortable 1960 contour.
• Electronics: 100% Original! Both single-coil pickups, pots, and wiring are untouched, delivering the authentic jangle, grit, and sparkle that only 60-year-old magnets can produce.
• Hardware: All original hardware, including the bridge, tuners, and knobs.

🎶 The "Pre-CBS" Sound

Don't let the scale length fool you—the Duo-Sonic is a recording powerhouse. Its two pickups are wired to be hum-canceling in the middle position, providing a unique, hollow "quack" that cuts through any mix. It is the secret weapon for:

• Indie & Jangle-Pop: Effortless playability for complex chords.
• Studio Pro Work: Extremely low noise-floor with high-output vintage character.
• Collectors: A rising-tide investment that is becoming increasingly rare.

💎 Why This Guitar?

🎶 While many Duo-Sonics from this era were stripped or modified, this instrument retains its original soul. The professional refinish ensures it looks as good as it sounds, making it a perfect "player’s grade" investment or a cornerstone for a vintage Fender collection. 🎶
