Squier Classic Vibe Duosonic 50's Cream/Gold Scratch Plate & Maple Neck

The Classic Vibe Duo-Sonic ’50s has received a grown-up make-over whilst still retaining the classic Fender vibe. This model was originally conceived as an entry-level guitar designed to capture the market of America's 1950's rock ‘n’ roll  youth. However the Duo-Sonic went on to have a much wider appeal and became a sought-after model among collectors, musicians and Fender fans.

Squier’s newly re-released Classic Vibe Duo-Sonic ’50s has been given a Desert Sand finish on a Basswood body, with a  24”-scale Gloss Maple neck with 21 medium-jumbo frets and a latter day 9.5” fingerboard radius. The sound comes courtesy of two Alnico V single-coil pickups and these are managed via a three-way selector switch for bright, clear classic Fender tones.

The Desert Sand finish is elegantly complemented by the Metallic Gold Scratch Plate and the Cream Pick-up covers, whilst the bridge, master volume and master tone knobs and the pick-up selector switch are all finished in Chrome. The Maple fret board uses inlaid dots as fret board orientation, the classic Fender bullet-type truss rod adjustment is utilised along with chrome die-cast machine heads ...

If there was a competition for cutest looking guitar, I’d vote for this Duo Sonic every time. However, looks may be the initial reason that most of us pluck a guitar from its hanger, but if it doesn’t feel and play right it very quickly gets put back. 

 

No such problems here, this guitar feels great. The neck is super comfortable with the same scale length (24”) as a Fender Jaguar, playability is effortless. Fretting notes and chords are a breeze without the need for uncomfortable stretching, yet the playing area never feels cramped. This is a grown up instrument for grownups. That said, it’s also the perfect partner for beginners and those of us with shorter digits. 

 

Plugged in, there’s an unmistakeable Fender twang in all pickup positions. Clean sounds sparkle and shimmer with a quality that belies the asking price. Add a dash of chorus and soupcon of reverb and the smile on your face will broaden even further. A perfect rhythm instrument. It also performs well with some crunch added. I even got decent results with the wick turned right up!

 

This guitar represents fantastic value for money. It’s well made and sounds the business. Squier have built their reputation on great value for money guitars. With The Vintage Vibe range they’ve raised the bar and taken value for money to a new level. Miss out at your peril!
