I've been a Strat player most of my life and haven't really played many of Fender's other models. However a friend who just purchased a Squire DuoSonic let me give it a try. I really liked it alot and had a few questions about Fender's short scale guitars. How similar is the Squire to the original Fender and what is the difference in this guitar from the Mustang? Thanks in advance for your input.

Fender's original Duo-sonic had a body made of poplar rather than the re-issue Squier's basswood. The pickups are similar to the Mustang's though the Mustang had a more elaborate switching system.

Mid-to-late 1990s MIM Duo-Sonic reissues had 20 frets. (Guitars shown below are not mine.)

I had an original Duo-Sonic in the mid 60's. Recently I picked up one of the newer RIs at a shop and was pleasantly surprised at how decent it sounded and played.
