Thanks, I'll give them a try. Wouldn't mind putting them on my LP as well....

I never ever tried 9´s on any guitar soo far, but i makes me wonder how that would feel..... It's a bit low, really. Basically, the rule of thumb is that on 24" scale, the string tension is roughly 0.5 gauge off from the 25.5" scale. So like 10 gauge on 24" feels like 9.5 on 25.5". So 9s on 24 ...

Well, maybe I'll get it around to it first Of course, I majored in procrastination so on second thought

Would you mind posting your thoughts afterwards? Thanks!

At the moment I´m looking for a fatter single coil, this one looks really nice..2 ceramic magnets, users say it sounds a bit darker and has a hight output..

the wiring looks quite original though. Do you have a middle position with both coils activated with your toggle or do you have only 2 ...

It's hard to tell in my pics but the bridge pickup is chrome.... And yeah, it's rusty

(I only paid $100.00 USD for it). :shock:

Well, it makes sense, it cost 149.00 new, figure depreciation over 54+ years :lol:

I bought it to play it! I get what your saying, i'm one of them guitar players that ends up babying expensive stuff. Thats one of the great things about finding vintage ...

Welcome to the forums, and nice score!

Any clue as to what the bridge pickup is? It looks in pictures like it has a chrome band around it, which is why I'm asking, haven't seen anything like that other than on the GFS Brighton Rocks I was considering for my strat copy, but those are newer and this ...

Welcome to the forum!

I quite like these heavily modified rarities that surface now and then. Back in 1980 i suppose the owner thought he was improving the guitar but you would not dream of doing all that to a 57 model now.
Apparently Eddie Van Halen used a Musicmaster for some time in the early ...

Greetings all. I just recently acquired a '57 Duo-Sonic and while searching for information about it found this forum. Thought I'd sign up and say hi! I'm also including some pics. The guitar has been refinished and the pickguard, pickups, tuning heads and bridge have all been replaced. The tuners ...
