Project: Duo Sonic

[dubtrub]

do you know what kind of LP it was?

I'm not familiar with the various Les Paul models. This was a gold top with satin finish mahogany neck and back, humbuckers, with pull up volume pots that make each pickup single coil. The owner said he traded in two Epiphones and got it out the door for $1700. The neck was very thin and felt as good as my custom build Mosrite clones.

yeah that's the latest twist on the standard model I think. I like the coil tap feature on LP's.

Kinda lost interest in it. I placed it in a gig bag, stuck it in the closet and pretty much forgot about it. I'll dig it out and finish it one of these day's. Too many iron's in the fire right now.

Danny, I've got several going back to '56. When you want to resurrect the project, give me a shout.

i'm kinda dying to see this thing finished...

[dubtrub]

Well, almost one year after I started this project and losing interest in it, I have finally returned to finish it. Last week I started by spraying the sanding sealer and have now sprayed the white base coat on the body. Hopefully I will see it through to a finished project before moving on to something else.

Where were you when I needed you?

Great to see this one getting finished up!

Danny, was the later Duo-sonic pretty much the Mustang without the trem system?

Dunno if this has been offered before; Mustang is an offset guitar, compare waist position in the Mustang to the DuoSonic.

Good to see this back on the schedule, I had been nosin' around in this thread but completely lost it. Looking forward to seeing it finished. Mucho coolio!
