Overview

A short-scale electric guitar with punchy tone and vintage style.

The Squier Classic Vibe Duo-Sonic HS maple fingerboard electric guitar delivers a fresh take on one of Fender's most enduring designs. Its compact body and 24" scale length make it an excellent choice for players seeking a guitar that's comfortable and easy to maneuver, without sacrificing tone. This model features a Fender-designed alnico single-coil neck pickup and a humbucking bridge pickup, offering a tonal palette that moves seamlessly from crisp cleans to thick, overdriven warmth. The throwback design includes vintage-inspired headstock markings, nickel-plated hardware and a tinted gloss neck finish, lending the instrument a distinctive retro aesthetic. The hardtail bridge with a string-through-body design ensures rock-solid tuning stability and optimal resonance, making this Duo-Sonic a refined combination of iconic style, fast action and timeless sound.

Fender Alnico Pickups for Dynamic Tonal Range

At the heart of this Duo-Sonic is its versatile HS pickup configuration, featuring a Fender-designed alnico single-coil in the neck position and a humbucker at the bridge. The single-coil pickup produces clear, articulate tones with a bell-like chime, perfect for melodic lines and rhythm playing. The humbucking bridge pickup brings a fuller, richer sound with enhanced output, ideal for solos and heavier textures. A three-way toggle switch allows you to blend or isolate pickups, providing flexible tonal options for a variety of playing scenarios. This combination ensures that every note is delivered with clarity and impact, making this instrument a powerful sonic tool.

Hardtail Bridge Enhances Resonance and Stability

The hardtail bridge on this guitar is designed for precision and durability, offering a stable foundation for consistent performance. Its string-through-body construction increases the instrument's resonance by allowing vibrations to transfer more efficiently through the body. This results in enhanced sustain and a fuller tone that retains clarity across the frequency spectrum. The six-saddle design also ensures accurate intonation, allowing players to fine-tune their setup for optimal performance. Whether you're in the studio or on stage, the hardtail bridge provides the reliability and tonal depth required for demanding playing conditions.

Comfortable Neck Design for Effortless Playability

The short 24" scale length and maple neck of this guitar offer a comfortable and accessible playing experience. A matching maple fingerboard provides a sleek playing feel, while narrow-tall frets allow precise note articulation and make bending strings a breeze. The bone nut and vintage-style tuning machines ensure stable tuning and smooth performance, and the 1.65" nut width strikes a balance between comfort and control. These features make this instrument ideal for players who value ease of play, whether they're practicing intricate chord voicings or exploring expressive lead lines.

Desert Sand Gloss Finish for Vintage-Inspired Elegance

This Duo-Sonic exudes vintage charm with its period-correct design elements and premium materials. The lightweight poplar body boasts a stunning Desert Sand gloss polyurethane finish, which is complemented by a one-ply gold anodized aluminum pickguard. The vintage-tint gloss neck finish enhances the maple neck's natural beauty while providing a smooth, fast playing surface. Nickel-plated hardware adds a touch of elegance and ensures long-lasting durability. These carefully crafted details give the guitar a unique retro vibe that stands out while maintaining a timeless style. The combination of aesthetics and functionality makes this model an eye-catching addition to any collection.
