Fender Custom Shop Duosonic Loretta Diaz

Twee prachtige single coils uit een Custom Shop Duosonic van 2017, handgewonden door Loretta Diaz, de opvolger van de legendarische Abigail Ybarra. Alnico V, neck pu is 5.99k, bridge pu 5.79k. Mooie en dynamische balans tussen de twee pickups. Zelden (lees: nooit) tweedehands te verkrijgen, en al zeker niet in deze quasi nieuwstaat. Meer dan genoeg draad aanwezig.

Moeilijk om hier een prijs op te plakken, ik ben niet gehaast dus wacht de mooie biedingen af.

A Rare Gem: The 50 Fender Custom Shop Duo-Sonics with Loretta Diaz Pickups - by Dave Burrluck

Every once in a while, a guitar comes along that blends heritage, tone, and craftsmanship so seamlessly, it becomes an instant classic. The 2017 Fender Custom Shop Duo-Sonic - limited to just fifty pieces - is exactly that kind of instrument. What truly sets these guitars apart, however, are the stunning hand-wound pickups crafted by none other than Loretta Diaz, the revered successor to Abigail Ybarra.
Loretta Diaz’s touch is legendary among tone aficionados, and these pickups are a shining example of why. Featuring Alnico V magnets, the neck pickup measures 5.99k and the bridge comes in at 5.79k, beautifully matched for a dynamic yet balanced response across the tonal spectrum.
The neck pickup delivers a warm, glassy tone with just the right amount of vintage shimmer, perfect for everything from bluesy phrasing to ambient textures. Flip to the bridge and you're rewarded with articulate, punchy tones that cut through the mix without ever sounding harsh. Together, they offer an incredibly musical range of sounds - clear, expressive, and full of nuance.
What makes these Duo-Sonics even more remarkable is how effortlessly they respond to your playing. Whether you're picking softly or digging in, the pickups retain clarity and definition, translating every detail with grace. The balance between the two pickups is exceptional, making this guitar a joy for both studio work and live performance.
Visually, the guitar is pure Custom Shop elegance - vintage-inspired, but with just enough attitude to remind you this isn’t your average short-scale instrument.
In short, these Duo-Sonics are not just rare - they're remarkable. If you’re lucky enough to own one, you’re holding a piece of Fender history, voiced by one of the most skilled pickup winders of our time. It’s a tone machine, a collector’s piece, and an artist’s tool - all in one.
