Hello - My Dad bought a brand new Fender Duo Sonic back in 1959. It is one of the ugliest guitars I've ever seen (desert tan). Everything works on this guitar and has the original case. Anybody have an idea what this thing might be worth?? Ballpark figure? I know they re-issued them a few years ago and Squire has them. But this is a really old one. Thanks for any help in advance.

From the 2006 offical vintage guitar magazine price guide

This guitar value is $1200 to $1400 . I think it also the price in 2012

Thanks.....I had one idiot tell me that it was only worth $200!!! This is an authentic Fender from '59. I know it isn't a real collectible model, but certainly worth more that 200 bucks!

It's a collectible model , just not the most sought after. Keep it and enjoy.

I've seen them sell from £500 all the way up to almost 2 grand on ebay. They are great guitars!
