Not that it matters to anyone but my cat just died today (11/6/2022). My mother came to tell me while I was watching this video. The song at the end was very fitting. This is the type of music that I would play to her when she was alive. This video came up in rotation. Thank you for sharing this with us although I watched it a little late it was definitely the right time.
I have a '66 Mustang, refinished in original Daphne Blue and rewired the PUPs and switches. I bought this new when I was 19 years old...I am now 74 years old and still enjoying this guitar.
Daphne blue isn’t original, while they probably used the same mix the literature simply gives the colors available as red, white or blue. And specifically states that custom colors (such as daphne blue, Dakota red and Olympic white) aren’t available on students models the Musicmaster, mustang and duo sonic ii.
From Belgium? Belgium does not exist, never make that mistake. You are asking for a Belgenmop. Wie heeft de mooiste tanden in Vlaanderen? Da's die ene komiek, die Philippe Beugels.
@@MatthewScottmusic Hi Matthew! I wrote you an e-mail before... I really like your shares and guitars and ideas about music etc etc. What is the way that you can afford real vintage guitars? I mean I would really like to know some little "secrets" of yours as advices... :)
I have the little brother to that one. It's a '66 Music Master II my parents bought for me brand new in '68. I butchered it in the late 70s, painting it black and adding a bridge pickup. It's been restored and is back to Olympic white with a red tortoise guard and just the neck pickup. It's mostly original and gets occasional play. Naturally, I wish I'd never hacked it up but back then it was just an old guitar. I blame EVH, lots of people were doing that back then. Thanks for the video.
The I.A. on the bottom of the pick ups is A.I. Abigail Ibarra wound pick ups at Fender for years. Hope that helps. I have a 65 Mustang Daphne blue. Same deal.
In 1974 I bought a 65 Mustang. It was pretty best up. It looked like the guy who had it before me. Filed down the frets. Then the neck was bowing upwards. At the time I didn’t know about replacement necks. So in 1981. I ended up selling it to a kid in my neighborhood.
Holy moly. I confess that the out-of-phase tone really worked for me. I can see it being a really cool rhythm tone in some spots. I never gave these guitars a second glance, but now I might have to take another look. I really liked all the tones.
I bought one yesterday at an estate sale for 130 bucks, your video has been a big help to me in figuring out what is wrong as well as what I need to do to get it working
@@charlie00 I ended up getting a 1968 Vibro champ that was its companion for all its life too, paid 285 for it. It also sold at the same estate sale but I didn’t get it. I was able to track it down though. I’ve got a video up on my channel about it now if you want to check it out
My first guitar was a Duo Sonic II that I bought at a music store in 1976 for $50.00 so I could go take lessons somewhere. It's a '65 like this one. The sales dude said they would clean up the contacts in the switches. All for $50.00. I still have it. I'm torn between selling it and keeping it.
Great guitar Matt , I remember back in 65 , my Dad and me walked into Hanich Music and on the rack was a 1964 Mustang in Dakota red . They guy told us it would come with a 1964 Deluxe Reverb custom .For $350 , I thought boy the old man is not going for that .Well he said (Dad) give us a case and cover for the amp and you got a real . I was flooded ,went home and played the hello out of it. So yeah I still like those old student models.. Thanks for the memories buddy.🎸😎👍
Matthew Scott. Get some gorgomite cloth. Cleans and polishes the frets without having to use steel wool and tape. Saves a ton of time. I love the stuff
For my 19th birthday last year my dad gave me his guitar he’s had since he was 16, a daphne blue 67 mustang that turned what I can only describe as nirvana grunge green. No difference from duo Sonics outside the trem as far as I know. Still an underrated guitar
Duuude you got a duosonic ii!! (L series I noticed which makes that a 64 or early 65). Makes me excited since I’m a Mustang lover. Just before the virus hit I was very very lucky to get a near mint 1964 Fender Mustang in dakota red with clay dots. A veryvery early one from July 1964 that still has black bobbin pickups (24 scale though, not the 22,5 although I have tried a 22,5 scale 66 once). Nicee. Haven’t even watched your video yet, was too excited and had to comment first 🙏😸
just inherited what I think is a '62 Mustang with the same pick guard from my grandpa who just passed. Love seeing this, and will use it to partially restore the ol' thing.
If you’re not already aware, shoemakers can replace broken latches on vintage cases! I had that done a while back. It can get pricy but well worth it if you wanna keep using that case.
Matthew Scott id love to see ya pick one up! The 24” B width neck would serve you wonderfully. I believe mustangs could be ordered with 22” A width too, but most are the 24” B width
When the switches are opposed to each other in either direction, the pickups are out of phase: - - + / + - - or + - - / - - + are the same technically. + - - / + - - or - - + / - - + are also the same (in phase) technically, but I imagine that folks will argue that there are some differences in the "mirrored" settings of each. Great sounding little instrument, thanks for sharing Matt!
@@RobbieTayVaughan it's 2 3-position switches, who's position he is resembling. Just look at a diagram. To make it short: Both middle: off One middle, one switch engaged: one Pickup active. Switches facing or opposing each other: both out of phase (thin, nasal). Switches engaged in the same direction: both parallel (as standard)
@@RobbieTayVaughan Each switch has three positions. The diagrams depict the different settings with the "+" symbol being which position each switch is in. The "/" doesn't mean anything in the diagram, just a divider between the switches.
I have a 69 Fender Mustang which had similar issues when I purchased it about 20 years ago. I cleaned the pots, replaced the switches and the pickups, did a full setup. It plays and sounds pretty good now.
I had a '65 Music Master II, 24" scale I got here in Austin for $319 in the mid 90s. Tort guard, old refinished natural body. Neck was dry/finish perfectly played through. Sold it about 15 years ago for $600. I absolutely regret selling that guitar.
I have watched this guy for a couple years and this dude seems like a legit nice person…. Obviously loves his Fender Vintage stuff. Seems he is like the rest of us just trying to carve out successful career. Props Brother!
I had a Fender Mustang similar to that maybe 40 years ago or more. Bought at dirt cheap at a local store. Played the crumb out of it. Had the whammy roll bar type. Sold and traded it for a more expensive ovation. But now it's probably maybe 10 times more than I got for it. I know people that fix them up and it wasn't worth it.back.then. might be worth it nowadays but I got my money's worth out of it meaning just playing the heck out of it. It really improved my quickness on the guitar. Hope you enjoy yours.
Love it! Great job getting making noise again. Im a Doug and I shared this with my gf and now she's talking about doing the same to one of my guitars 😆 eeeeeeek!
Incredible how you put life back in a guitar simply by cleaning it. These videos are very pleasant to watch and learn if you are into guitars. Also funny how you pronounce Andrea I would say it Andre-ah
Too funny, I am married to an Andrea….. It drives her nuts when people pronounce it Ahndreeya She likes it just the way Matthew said it🤠 Just scrolling through the comments and thought and was funny that you mentioned it
Eric Johnson used to use out of phase for some of his koto effect stuff. That makes these guitars and the Mustangs a bit ahead of their time. In the '70s people started putting phase switches on strats and Gibsons though I don't know what inspired it, because nobody really knew that was happening on the Mustangs.
Loved the video. I'm a bass player and I work on and assemble my own basses nowadays. Great to see you at work. Also, my wife's birthday is 9 April 1965, and her name is Ann. Since I prefer A width Jazz necks I have kept my eyes open for a neck date just like this one for years...... Very cool!
I actually like that out of phase tone. I love to see you rescuing another lonely instrument that can't share it's love anymore. I like watching you bring them back out into the light and letting us hear what they have to say. I am a fan of that. You keep doing you Matthew, I will keep watching
Hell yeah matt! Unrivaled little guitars for the money, totally agree that they sound like a mini vintage strat. My ‘66 Mustang absolutely shreds so im glad to see you dig this duo-sonic 🤘(if anyones interested my mustang has the 24” B width neck)
Hi Matthew, thanks for another new post. I really enjoy your videos. They always sound great & are very informative. I look forward to the next one. KH🇮🇪
I’ve had several music/duo master guitars. Love them. I find those pickups though strat like, they have their own character. Punchy and great touch sensitivity.
I almost bought a vintage 1966 Fender Mustang about 7 years or so ago. I regret not grabbing it but didn’t have the cash. It was sonic blue with a mint guard. A lot of the parts were not original anymore though. Thanks for your insight on this! Groovy!
Great find, fantastic video. That's a piece of history there. I'd like to think that both Doug and Andrea would approve. And personally I love the sound of the out-of-phase pickup selection. In a world full of Strats and LPs something a little different is kind of nice now and then.
I have a 65 mustang with a wide A nut, it almost should be a B. 24" scale and it has become my favorite vintage guitar in my collection. It's a tone machine, you get 8 different sound by the factory switches, they are so under rated.
Nice find man once again! Im also a sucker for aged olympic white and the pickguard just makes it pop! With some love its gonna be another tone machine! My grandmother owned one of these and i played on it as a kid and all through high school. It was going to become mine but her son stepped in who never played guitar and scarfed it on me. Dont think he realizes what it meant to me. But thats life i guess. Rock on man!!
Wow I love the tone of it and when you put the pickups out of phase at the end really sounds like the bridge pickup by itself that's the way it sounded like with my headphones but all in all it really has a great tone quality and as usual great playing...."Nunca pare la Musica"
Hey. Good video as always. I just rehabbed an early ‘60s mustang. The switches were in terrible shape. I sprayed them out with contact cleaner and in the process noted that there was no plastic in the switch itself. I put a couple of drops of WD-40 in the switching mechanism and they responded like new. No scratchiness No noise and very smooth action. Wouldn’t do that on a switch with plastic in the works but you can get away with it On an older guitar like these.
Dude, you're such a cool cat. I'd hang with you for sure if we lived in the same town. How you find all these vintage guitars is beyond me but much respect for your channel efforts, playing skills, and time put in acquiring awesome old guitars.
WoW! That sounds great! I’ve got “Jonie” and a scratched out phone number on the back of an old Gruhn acoustic. No idea who she is, Jonie Mitchell I dream of though.
An honest, enthusiastic investigation into the much forgotten Duo Sonic. Most would part out the “Strat Pickups”. I would not. I love the out of phase sound. Much funkier than the 2 or 4 positions on a Quack 🐥 Strat... Thanks.
Hah! I LOVE your string cutters!!! Those are some industrial-strength vintage cutters there- even SRV gauge strings, bass strings, or bridge cables would tremble in fear with those monsters comin’ at them! Keep up the good work saving one vintage guitar at a time! 😊
These guitars are a blast to play! I have a ‘59 duo-sonic with slab board and toggle switch pickup selector that’s just awesome. You should get some kind of pad for your bench (a yoga mat or scrap of carpet works well) also put a cloth or something over the guitar when spraying contact cleaner - the overspray can damage old nitro finishes
That ones a keeper! I need to keep my eyes peeled for one. That was great that with a little contact cleaner everything worked smooth, keeping it very original. Fantastic find!

That old guitar has character. Very cool.
Look at that stack of Fender custom 68’s and friends! Damn!
Very cool and fun, I bought a 66 Mustang and really enjoy its sound, and like you stated it was my first vintage. Great review and thank you.
