squier duo-sonic, not classic vibe

Post by bll »

well, i didn't know anything about a squire duo sonic, which isn't a surprise because i am new to these guitars. i just won one on ebay, anyone care to educate me on my purchase?

this isn't the exact one but color is the same.

probably too much, 180, but i wanted a 22 inch scale so i am happy overall.

honestly i missed the fact that it was a squier until after i had already won the auction.

If it has CXS or X in the serial number it's a Squier Affinity made in China in 1998 or 1999. They aren't bad for the price, cost about $250 new. I think they are a 22.7" scale likr the Mexican reissues of the 1993 to 1997 years $180 and that's not a bad price, just no bargan. It's hard to find them for much less. Just can't remember anyone saying how they sound, just that they play OK. They probably vary a bit in quality though.

i payed 150 for mine and that was like 8 years ago.

ArgyleLouis bought mine for 150 after i installed jagstang tuners, new pickups, covers, knobs and a switch

awesome little guitar
with .13 strings on it, it only would stay in tune if i tuned it up to F. when left in E, the strings were too slack and didn't work out that well. after a month of playing in F you start to get used to it and I actually wrote quite a few songs in F with this guitar.

Yea, the Mexi Duo is quite a nice guitar. I actually like it better than the CV Duo but enjoy the CV scale a little better for noodlin past the 12th fret. Either way, my buddy has been playing for 16 years now, probably the best player I actually know, and he won't part with that little guitar. I used to have one but foolishly gave it up when I was a young'n, basically looked the same as the red one above.

that's because it's in your browser's cache. =]

you can copy it to your desktop and then use the shortscale uploader (link is at the top of the page) to host it free.

the squier came in the mail today. i am pleasantly surprised, nice little guitar, looks good, sounds fine.

needs thicker strings and some fret dressing that i'll get around to at some point.


overall, i dig it.

There is a Fender Duo-sonic from 93 on my local Craigslist for 325... worth getting?

were the 90s Duos 24 or 22 inches?

I'd say its overpriced. I'd pay 200 at MOST for one with nice pups, that I could play first.

22.something inches.
