This is the best guitar demo I've ever seen 11/10

[@noahd9405]

same

[@zplapplap]

Agreed. I really enjoyed it.

[@luiskade7316]

sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost my password. I would love any tips you can offer me

[@karsonjabari5222]

@Luis Kade Instablaster ;)

[@AlanPaulRock]

Really liked that 90s vibe at the intro

[@bostonwilde8004]

Alan Kranjac it has a 90s feel because it was Aneurysm by Nirvana

[@shaqman8649]

Desperate For Fun, not really. It has a 90's vibe because of the VHS effect. Not just because of what he played.

[@bostonwilde8004]

Shaq Man true true

[@theshuriken]

This is outrageous!! guitar demo without blues or metal licks????!!!11!!!!

[@ivanichev7590]

Hope you're joking lmao

[@rohaihuparaguay]

Best demo ever, extremely musical. I am reminded how much I love 90's alternative.

[@coffee5736]

I trust guitar reviewers more if they're into alt rock, lol.

[@joevaughan818]

a name I second this haha. The guitars just sound better when they’re not playing generic blues licks for 20 minutes.

[@leonlawson2196]

Absolutely

[@blakedavis2447]

Joe Vaughan death to all generic blues licks !

[@TheNaik1000]

That's how a demo is made man :D

[@Lat3xE4teR]

If you think about it... A Duo Sonic... Is literally just a Kurt Cobain Mustang, and it’s wonderful.

[@jacktilghman9797]

The duo sonic HS, especially in daphne blue, is quite literally just the kurt Cobain mustang without the red tortoise pick guard and chrome bit underneath the knobs.

[@durferz]

ya know, except for the bridge, body shape (the duo sonic and mustang are different shapes), pickup selector, knobs, pickguard...

[@cuteasxtreme]

Great guitars and even better song selection, thanks!

[@jacktilghman9797]

Good old 4'11 Kurt Cobain

[@collinh8907]

Lol I think that's a bit off. Looks about my height 5'8" ish

[@sekritdokumint9326]

@@collinh8907 Hes 175 cms tall, Krist is 201 cms tall. So yea Krist is a giant, heck even im shorter than Kurt.

[@Roomba69420]

im dying lmao I thought I was crazy until I realized that was grossly inaccurate

[@blakedavis2447]

He was 5’10

[@DevonThomas1204]

Blake Davis no all info online says he is about 5.8 but he would be taller but he suffered from scoliosis

[@rahm0054]

This is about seven years old, but just used this as a petite guitar beginner to help me find my perfect guitar. I grew up loving 90’s rock so this was great. Thank you sooo much!

[@radioroidar]

Excellent; this is an object lesson in how to make a great demo video.

[@mrtaytogaming]

This has to be one of the best demo/review videos I’ve witnessed. Well done

[@blindingnoise]

Thanks for such a varied demo. Was great to hear all the different configurations interchanged. Probably one of the best comparisons I've seen in awhile. Thanks again but you are making the choice hard!

[@anthef2340]

blindingnoise This review was awesome but I'm still set on that white P90 one and I'm so excited to order it soon!

[@Mandobird1]

That capri orange one is drool...

[@Kadmosthegreat]

Hell yes, but the sound of those p90's, damn

[@eddiecarlcalhoun]

HOW MANY CLONES OF YOU ARE THERE???....HELL OF A BRILLIANT GUITARIST!!!!

[@jasonmcmillan4373]

This was great. You took me back to the '90's, great songs. The Capri Orange Duo Sonic has my attention, especially as it seems like a great way to get a genuine Fender at an affordable price.

[@tunesmith7437]

You can go back to the 90's if you want...but these guitars date back to the 1950's and they still have that vibe inherent in them.

[@Bingogame544]

tried one of the ss duo sonic's the other day i swear that thing roared like my Les Paul

[@snottylottie]

Best demo I've ever seen, not to mention you played my favourite song by my favourite band

[@argomcscott7200]

this video is so useful, love the format, and onscreen labelling of what's going on. thanks!

[@sadzidsmajkic6181]

I really love the Capri Orange Duo Sonic

[@JoshBattershell]

Me too! Think I'm gonna buy one really soon. Got to play one once in Guitar Center and they are really nice.

[@sadzidsmajkic6181]

Wow, I was really into strats and teles all the time, but these seem to be a good alternative. I've never had a chance to play one of these btw. Can you tell me how does it feel to play on a shorter scale (24") and what is the difference between new duo sonics and mustangs. Best wishes

[@dale8809]

Great demo. love that p90 sound

[@michaelbell75]

Fantastic demo! One of the best Ive seen! I need the Sonic Duo HS and Mustang bass ASAP!

[@theredwolf8914]

Kurt was 5'11 and prefferred off sets because they reminded him of Univox Hi Flyers.. he got his first mustang (the one in the teen spirit video) at Evergreen College in Olympia, Wa for around 20 bucks because the people selling it had just purchased some "new Kramers" and considered the 69' mustang to be a POS

[@theslayerofgoblins849]

No way he was 5 11

[@JR-hs9nt]

@@theslayerofgoblins849 was 5'9"

[@hops2099x]

Hell yeah I was looking at strats but as I too was A kid discovering music when grunge hit I so need one of these

[@bchurc00]

I watch a lot of guitar review / info vids. Great job covering the Fender offset series. I have the Torino Red P90. Love it!

[@alansturgess1324]

PMT are delivering the Arctic White model tomorrow ... really looking forward to it. Also very good (and quite unusual) to see and hear Sam play using his thumb .. that's my preferred style. VERY useful. Thanks.

[@gentalrobots3988]

I love the song aneurysm

[@oliviergagnon4130]

Nice video ! I got the Duo Sonic HS recently and it's just awesome. So many tones possible. I don't even need to use pedals - just my amp with gain and overdrive controls. Thnaks for your quality reviews

[@christopheraaron8299]

I'm diggin' that P90 Mustang. I just ordered P90s and a P90 pearl white pickguard for my Bullet Mustang.

[@Patres87]

4:10 4'11' Huh ? He really wasn't such a dwarf, his height is claimed to be way over 5 foot, 5'9'.

[@samhailess]

Patrik Ďurica It says clearly that they made it up. 😂

[@SwayisGod]

Patrik Ďurica a comment like yours makes me wonder for humanity sometimes...

[@Motleydru]

4:19 were you even watching the video? haha

[@lespauldisciple3349]

I have the P-90 equipped Mustang and that baby is an awesome tone monster. Oh wait, we're saluting the early 90's, right? Delete "awesome" from first sentence and replace it with "EXCELLENT!".

[@Kadmosthegreat]

This made my day

[@villytheplaguedoc1846]

I remember trying out the Duo Sonic at a guitar shop close to my apt before COVID 19 happened and it was great! At the time, I was looking for a guitar that had a coil splitter. I couldn't decide between the Duo Sonic or the Yamaha Revstar. I was also looking for a Mustang but one with a Humbucker in the bridge. I remember I looked up a Jazzmaster on the Facebook Marketplace but then I came across a Squier Vintage Modified Mustang in Candy Red. It was made to look and play like a Kurt Cobain Mustang. I had to sell a few of my guitars and some of my pedals to get it but I have no regrets.

[@roozbehkalantari8615]

Very useful, thanks

[@harveybriggs9909]

Yep duo sonic hss is definitely the guitar for me. Great video 🤙🏻

[@Skeeter_Sociation]

Well after the incident we’ll just say Kurt was around 4’11

[@gedge36]

😂🤣😂 best comment on here

[@synchrohunter]

Thank you for the mini concert!

[@XxStonedImmaculatexX]

I’m a huge KC fan. I have a Jagstang, Jaguar NOS, custom Vandalism strat and a 73 reissue OTM Competition Mustang that I consider my “Smells like teen spirit” guitar because its close to what Kurt used as well although his was an original 69 LPB one. I might get a KC Mustang but I’m pretty content with what I have. Now, I really like a lot of offset guitars and might get a sonic duo or maybe a Jazzmaster!

[@felicet425]

Great song choices!

[@brandonhamilton370]

Would have loved to have heard the duo sonic SS with distortion n power chords.

[@fbaraky660]

Best video about these by far. Do you think the 24''is better than the 24.75 in your opinion?

[@moniquedouglas2448]

Great explanatory video. I love the way you compare these new releases with the older models. And we get some cool music too.

[@alex6996]

8:40, “the sun shines in the bedroom”

[@Norseman2]

Excellent review! How are the necks on these? Are they really thick? And do they have any issues staying in tune?

[@jeffreybiscoe6]

Great tone review my old close friend a awesome acoustic player no electric experience wants a really thin bodied electric guitar + I was gone get her the p 90 or the hb s but the duo sonic s s tone just is the one I think I prefered ,hope I can get any above in black. Birthdays Jan 8 th so thanks for the clip.

[@flynnforgeau9750]

that orange/mustard duo sonic tho

[@Sam-w9des]

I need help! would u sell a Gib Les Paul with p90s for this??as I'm interested in the versatility I could get with the sonic as in putting a black winter in the bridge and a vintage n the neck for that jimmy tone.what's your take on my idea?? id appreciate it Thanks

[@sgflyingv]

haha enjoyed the video. good stuff!

[@adamguitar2335]

gotta love that nirvana

[@pandorasflame7742]

I wish they still had small price tags. Now they cost more than MIM strats. Hell, even the Squire costs as much as a MIM strat!

[@AppeltVortex]

Great demo!! Thanks.

[@jareknykiel]

O man! Such a pity, U R in GB, not in Poland!:/ This is the best ever guitar demo, and it works - I want all offset series guitars.:P

Really natural narrator ! How many have googled ‘Kurt Cobains hight ?’

[@bleee.t]

Great demo!

[@djsangre]

Now I can't decide between a Mustang P90 or a Duo Sonic HS...

[@jeanduval7323]

me too!

[@BedroomNoiseProject]

you just sold it to me. great review!

[@bluesbard7413]

I saw three comments about the P90s sounding noisy. I can't hear that and I'm listening on a good system. What is my ear missing? I understand that P90s are single-coil and will hum, but I don't hear it on this vid. Anyone? Buehller?

[@PMTVUK]

Sound good to me man, come down to a store and check em out for yourself!

[@motorbreath88]

I had a jaguar with p90s and it was pretty loud noise and humming. hard to describe something you have to experience for yourself but man the tone of the p90s is like nothing else. it's I thick clean sound and then a punchy metal type chug with distortion

[@shelbymartinez104]

I heard the hum all the way through, it kind of gives it a nice ambiance

[@theslayerofgoblins849]

Buehller...buehller.....

Loving the new Squier Bullet FSR Mustang

[@noahd9405]

Go for it bro! www.pmtonline.co.uk/fender-duo-sonic-offset-series-guitar-capri-orange

[@cianc984]

I'm thinkin' to buy the ss duo-sonic or the p90 mustang but I cannot decided! I want all both!!!

[@SirEnVo]

cianc984 feel the due sonic is more versatile for a variety of genres but honestly, i'm buying the p90 cause I own a jazzmaster and love that I can get a mustang to sound similar

[@aleksej79novosibirsk]

Very nice!

[@falk3nn]

crackin job on Weezer, fuken nailed it >:]/

[@d.washingtonx7041]

Awesome demo! Why don't they sell these colors anymore? I like the Mustang 90 in torino red but I can't find one for sale. Do you know how many of these were built?

[@trevinbracken2889]

I love my Jag-Stang and would love a new offset model! But, my wife won't allow it...

[@jamesmata2945]

What's the difference between the duo Sonic and the mustang?

[@joywolfe.]

I've been arguing between one of these and the Squier Vintage Modified Mustang. I prefer the switching system, the tremolo, and the rosewood board on the Squier. But I'm worried about the quality of the Squier. Is this fender really that much better in terms of build?

[@PMTVUK]

Best thing to do is pop down to a store and try them both out. Are you in the UK?

[@katherineberger6329]

I’ve played both and honestly? I kind of prefer the simple switching. In/out of phase is a neat trick but not in and of itself an argument for that style of guitar, and the stability and simplicity of the hard tail bridge is also compelling.

[@altrock86]

would like the p 90s with maple fingerboard

[@squidward2667]

That's how you do a demo!

[@myrthebark1166]

This is an excellent video

[@Melodiusgraph7]

I prefer Duo Sonic Hs :b

[@grungyperry7530]

God I want either the Duo Sonic HS or the Special Edition HH Standard Jaguar! I would love to have them both but gotta settle for one unfortunately.

[@PMTVUK]

Nah, just get both! :) -Lee

[@eodchop]

Just curious what kind of amp you played these through? Were you using a peddle?

[@marijnvanlingen8678]

Playing guitar with a peddle is quite difficult lol.

[@theraditz]

I liked as a demo, but not as a comparison :C

[@joewalsh8217]

The duosonic seems to cut through the mix better

[@ShatteredDiscoBall]

Love the tone on that duo sonic, good god!!! I’m torn between the olive green or the orange...What’s the difference between the HS and the regular duo sonic??

[@TheClearStalker]

I got my duo-sonic hs in that green (changed the pickguard tho) over a year ago and haven't regret a single day, it's a really great guitar, easy to play, good pickups. The difference between them is that the "Duo Sonic" has 2 single coils and "Duo Sonic HS" has neck single coil and bridge humbucker..i would take the version with humbucker, it's a more versatile guitar and also it has coil split feature which means you can basically switch the humbucker to single-coil.

[@ShatteredDiscoBall]

Soldier Scar Lucky you!! Thanks for clarifying, that’s helps in my decision a lot. Now I’m torn between this and the Jaguar lol but the Jaguar doesn’t have a green finish 💔. I think there’s also a huge difference in weight so I’ll have to try in person.

[@TheClearStalker]

@@ShatteredDiscoBall That's the next guitar i really want :D then Stratocaster and my collection is done. I think the Jaguars are made in surf green too, i really like the 3-color sunburst one.

[@MrHarley950]

krist novaselic is a giant.... well, to me anyway. he's 6'7" and i'm pretty sure that kurt cobain was 5'6" or better..... but yeah, great guitars for sure.

[@lion39]

Bravo!

[@carlitoxb110]

I came for the guitar I stayed for the nostalgia Im a 90s kid too

[@JohnWilliams-md4qb]

Where can I buy the light blue Mustang with the white P90’s that you use as an example of the offset cut???

[@jq.guitars]

If you're still looking, that's the Made In China Fender Modern Player Mustang

[@yb32]

how much do they weight? i couldn't find it anywhere

[@stringspicksandfiddlestick6388]

Kurt was 5'9". Krist, 6'7".

[@Pixelizedremix]

Ya think they'll ever release lefty versions of the offsets?

[@davidkastin4240]

No 😡

[@jackwoods7275]

What’s the song at 8:53?

[@ituneyou1213]

By the way the mustang with the p90s that not a rosewood fretboard its pau ferro

[@cadenhufstetler4504]

I can't decide between a squier mustang or a fender offset mustang. Just a $100 difference. Anyone have any suggestions?

[@JLindebergful]

Build quality and hardware are both better quality on the Fender.

[@JorgeGarcia-zm4hs]

I’m looking to pick up guitar and this interests me a lot. But do the mustang P90 and the regular mustang both have the same sound or are they slightly different?

[@PMTVUK]

Hi Jorge, yep they'll sound quite different owing to the different pickup configuration. - Lee

[@JorgeGarcia-zm4hs]

which would you recommend?

[@blakedavis2447]

What’s the difference between the duo sonic and mustang

[@psych336]

Since no one answered, if you look closely the duo sonic actually isn’t offset but the mustang is that’s the main difference. So the curves on the sides of the body are the main difference, besides pickups in the different models.

[@ghostwolff1]

Had to check kurt was 5,9 but I still don't think he could reach trigger

[@adamsilvestri356]

Lmfao Kurt Cobain was said to be 5'9. LOL 4'11. Other then that, awesome playing and a superb demo of these great guitars.

Wrong. 24”.

seeing someone play nirvana song properly..... woah

[@janedagger]

I p[ayed a 1956 Musicmaster for decades but hadda sell it ... shit happens. Finally a guitar is released I want to play and not pay $1.5k for. I may actually start wanting to write again. Thanks for the ONLY vid out here for the Duo Sonic that isn't full of crappy elevator music or crapoblaster idiots trying to sound "nice"... that isn't how you play a single coil monster.. you gotta bleed on it.. piss on it.. kiss it.. and plug it into a noise box and turn it up. And if you do copy tunes only.. you don't deserve it.

[@brandonjudy1901]

kurt was 5'9

[@nicke.424]

I did some research on the height of kurt cobain and it turns out krist noveselic is frickin 6 foot 7!

4 foot 11? I dont think so. I think he meant to say 5 foot 11.
