Brought back memories of early days listening and learning from a master player and friend who has passed away Thank you for that Tomo To know is to appreciate🙂🎸

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing. You're welcome!

[@RC32Smiths01]

It's so insane to me sometimes that vintage and rather older guitars still produce some really great tones and sounds. Cheers for this!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Couldn't agree more! Amazing tone!

[@RC32Smiths01]

@@TomoFujitaMusic Absolutely!

[@NintenDub]

Why is it insane? Every guitar is capable of producing great tones

[@MurderHornetProductions]

What an amazing guitar for a "student model"! Great playing by a true master!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes indeed! Thank you!

[@SubtractiveMoves]

I just came from my local shop. I walked in and saw this and played it. Then the vultures had their eyes on it. I waited until a few people tried it and I plugged it back in and loved the volume and tone knobs. It's got a lot of bass to it and the fretboard is super dark. Went to the counter and checked out😊

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing!

[@motorosso3349]

My Musicmasters are both 24" which I like, but the simplicity is still there along with the great vintage Fender tone. My 1975 looks just like yours (red). These are hidden gems along with the Musicmaster bass amps (I'm surprised that you didn't pair up the guitar and amp). Thanks for featuring this great Fender.

You are amazing and an inspiration sir, ive NEVER seen ANYONE slap a guitar like it's a bass. That right there single handedly made my day better so thank you.

Mustangs Telecasters and now a Music Master. Need a Duo Sonic in there as well. The guitars of my childhood, thank you Tomo.

You're welcome!

I've missed watching your videos Tomo Sensei! it has been very busy for me these past few months yet thank you for continuously posting videos as it serves as a reminder that a guitar is a beautiful instrument

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Welcome back! Thank you so much!

[@georgenewham1265]

I really loved this video because I have a 1964 Duo Sonic II! It was given to me by my grandfather and I absolutely adore playing it. Its also funny, because it is the only electric guitar I have so it truly is a “student model” for me. Your fluidity with chords is simply unmatched, really great video!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing! So you own a special guitar!

[@marzsit9833]

the earlier musicmasters were built using duo-sonic necks and bodies, when fender introduced the mustang they discontinued the duo-sonic and re-designed the musicmaster II using mustang bodies and necks. in the early 70's they dropped the "II" designation and called it the musicmaster again until it was discontinued in 1980.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing

[@motorosso3349]

Actually, the Duo-Sonic II was made from 1964 through 1969 so the Mustang production overlapped the DS II.

[@Kept_Crude]

It sure sounds great the way YOU play it. Coz you're worth it. Brilliant!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks so much!

In the hands of a master all guitars sing their praise

I have a 66 Musicmaster II and the neck is amazing. 24 in scale though.

Awesome!!

このムスタングと一体化されてますね。音が、アンプからとは別に、体全体から流れ出るのが見える気がします。うまく言えませんが、音色が美しいです！

This video was fantastic! I have one too! I can’t play it though, I can’t find the three threaded bridges for the strings but I want to buy them so I can play!

Thank you!! Awesome!! You need parts?

[@opoiod8291]

@@TomoFujitaMusic I do! The little T shaped string holders are pretty much busted. I can’t find where to get them.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

@@opoiod8291 You mean the string saddles. Keep looking them, maybe some company sell them for Telecasters.

You sir oura excellent player...! I just made a video of a 1957 Fender Musicmaster...🎵🎸🎶 I think it is a great playing little guitar...!

Sick guitar for sure ! But personnally, I prefer Gibson's version, the Les Paul Junior, also a vintage student guitar

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jlwthree]

simplistic brilliancy

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes Indeed!

[@MrCienszkowski]

Isn't this a 24 " neck? The description says 22.5 ", but I assume this was only for the musicmaster I?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes. These guitars, had two choices from 22.5 inch neck or 24 inch neck. I think they just used some leftover neck from 1964-1965...

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@ZionForman]

cool guitar

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@Healcraft]

I prefer 11's on les paul scale length. But for strat I find 9 too light and 10 too heavy, and 9.5 hard to buy easily

[@optionr]

Are we sure this is the the 22.5" neck? Why does it have 22 frets, this would normally indicate thats it the large (24") version!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

This guitar is 22.5 inch? Two versions on these...

[@optionr]

@@TomoFujitaMusic I trust your word - I have not seen 22.5" with 22 frets before! Thank you for showing this unique part of fender history tomo, I love my 66' MM2.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

From 1956 to 1964 as Musicmaster and Duo Sonic are 22.5 inch neck. Then from 1965 on... changes them to Musicmaster II and Duo Sonic II as well as Mustang. Those got two choices on neck. 1) 22.5 inch A neck or 24 inch B neck. @@optionr

[@laplantamichay]

so the musicmaster is the same as the duo sonic, only it has one pickup? if you took a duo sonic, and took one pickup off, would it become a musicmaster? I love how the guitar sounds and looks, but there is NO WAY i get the money to buy an original one

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes! Same neck, same body! The Musicmaster sounds better that the Duo Sonic! Not really... unless you do exact same wiring as the Musicmaster.

[@laplantamichay]

@@TomoFujitaMusic thanks for explaining! i'll try to get my hands on a duo sonic to modify it then (:

[@madzpanda]

@@laplantamichay I know I'm late to this but there was another student model with one pickup called the Bronco. It had a different trem system and the one pickup wasn't at the neck like the musicmaster but at the bridge. It was also the whole offset mustang shape.

[@laplantamichay]

@@madzpanda thanks for the input!!! it seems like a very cool guitar n that trem looks sooo cool
