Bridge: 6-Saddle Strings-Through-Body Strat® Hardtail with Bent Steel Saddles.Pickup Switching: 3-Position Toggle: Position 1.Neck Finish: Satin Urethane Finish on Back, Gloss Urethane Finish on Front.The neck pickup offers smooth, rounded sounds, while the bridge pickup is brighter and punchier and when you put them together you get some seriously spanky funk and country tones. This may look like a simple pickup configuration but there's plenty of versatility here. The Duo-Sonic features two single-coil pickups for a clear and articulate tone. The maple fingerboard offers a super smooth playing surface and the 9.5' fingerboard radius is suited to both chords and solos alike. The neck is a comfortable 'C' shape with a satin finish on the back so you won't have to worry about your hand sticking to it. The small alder body helps keep the guitar lightweight, taking less of a toll on your back when you're standing - especially useful if you're an energetic performer. The lower string tension also means you can use heavier gauge strings for a thicker tone without straining your fingers. This lowers the string tension which makes it easier to fret and bend notes and you also get a slightly warmer tone as a result. The Duo-Sonic has a 24' scale length which is shorter than the 25.5' scale you find on most Fender guitars. Short scale (distance between the bridge and the nut) guitars have always been popular among beginners but they're also becoming increasingly popular with more experienced players.
