The Fender Player Duo-Sonic HS's unique voice is due to its 24" scale length. It possesses a vibrant sound and makes for a very playable instrument. It has a slinky feel, extended chords are easier to finger, and you can pull off multi-step bends easily. A combination of single-coil and humbucking pickups delivers sweet, glassy Fender tone, with sound-shaping provided by a 3-way selector, Master Volume and Tone controls, and a push-pull tone pot that switches the humbucker to single-coil operation. Beginners and experts alike agree that there's a lot to love about the Fender Player Duo-Sonic HS.

Classic Fender tone and more

The Fender Player Duo-Sonic HS HS packs a Duo-Sonic single-coil, a bridge-position humbucker, plus 3-way switching and Master Volume and Tone controls. Pull up on the tone pot to switch the humbucker to single-coil mode for classic Fender chime, or push it down for growling humbucker tone. These pickups deliver those glassy '50s-style Fender tones and also have enough output to make your amplifier growl when you turn up the volume knob.

Shorter scale length isn't just for beginners

A modernized version of a student-turned-classic instrument originally released in 1956, the Duo-Sonic HS model's compact form belies its giant-sized sound. It's the ideal companion for adventurous players who aren't afraid to buck the norm and shatter expectations.

A familiar-feeling neck

With a "C" profile and 9.5" fretboard radius, the Fender Player Duo-Sonic HS will feel familiar to any Fender fan. One thing we really dig at Music Experience is that the neck is finished in satin polyurethane, as opposed to the glossy polyurethane on the body. The satin finish feels fast and smooth in your hand, delivering a broken-in feel from day one.
