Highlights

PLAYER SERIES PICKUPS

Designed for authentic Fender tone—with a bit of an edge—our Player Series pickups are crisp and articulate, a modern tweak of our classic sound.

C NECK SHAPE WITH 9.5″ RADIUS AND MEDIUM JUMBO FRETS

Our “C” neck is comfortable and slim for fast action and effortless bending.

HARDTAIL STRING-THROUGH-BODY BRIDGE

A hardtail bridge enhances vibration transfer resulting in increased sustain while the six individual saddles can be adjusted for precise intonation along each string.

“F”-STAMPED NECK PLATE

Each Player Duo-Sonic HS includes an “F”-stamped neck plate, leaving no doubt as to the instrument’s pedigree.

22 FRETS

Adding another fret lets you bend the highest D up to an E, giving you access to four octaves of musical possibilities.

MORE TRADITIONAL BODY RADII

The Player Duo-Sonic HS body is hand-shaped to original specifications.
