Sometimes when I see a guitar for sale I get pretty excited about the guitar and then I buy it. This is one. This is a sort of rare very early example of the new improved Duosonic model, one of the first to have the longer 24 inch scale length. The neck is an "A" neck with a 24 inch scale, the later Duosonics were available with a "B" width neck. The Duosonic II and Musicmaster II were introduced along with the new Mustang model and share features but have perhaps a better bridge tailpiece situation, unless tuning and re tuning guitars is your passion.
