$199 duo sonic?

Post by damienblair17 »

There's a black Duo Sonic at a local music shop for $199. I saw it on their website and am going to look at it today. It sounds like a good deal, but what should I look for (problems, quirks, etc.)?

Thought you had no monies.

Thought Mamo was the one in teh band who liked shortscale guitarz.

Maybe you could've just called Mamo and he would have answered your questions.

BAD BASSIST. No cookies for you.

I found some cash at home, plus if I had to have it, I'd do a trade, not unlike your recent trade, except I'd get more money for it.

Mamo likes shortscale, I like everything

Get back to work!

What kind is it? Squire? Just make sure the neck isn't warped, that it holds tune, all the electronics work and that it gives you a boner.

Hm, well they don't specify the jagmaster as a squire so it could be either the squire or MIM fender. I'd guess its the squire, like Robroes: http://www.shortscale.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16974.

Personally, I'm more of a fan of the Duo - II.

Fender didnt make a Jagmaster, hombre. It's a Squier.

Ya, that's what I meant. As in they list their Jagmaster as a Fender even though that's not possible.
