What's Hot
A selection of lovelies here, all going on the block for one simple reason. GAS!
Far too much talk on here this last week or two about Dueseys, so here we are.
1994 Made In Japan 54 Reissue Fender Stratocaster - £750 on hold
From the golden era of Fender Japan and the stratiest Strat you’re likely to get your hands on. The body has been refinished in a rather rustic, thin skin Sea Foam nitro. The neck is a maple back with a spalted maple fingerboard. The frets are all great and the rolled edges are very comfortable in the hand. The carve feels like a very typical Fender, substantial but not chubby. It plays extremely well and sounds spot on for that early Strat tone.
Comments
Yes, this has been up and down like a demented yo-yo but the pull of a Duesey hollowbody has made the final call. There has been enough talk on here that I think everybody knows what they are all about and what the quality is like. Apart from playing faultlessly, it has a serious level of top notch bling for an SE.
The SE Hollowbody II Piezo combines the balanced, clear, resonant tone of a hollowbody instrument with the power and stability of a solid-body electric guitar. Constructed with a maple back and top with mahogany sides, the SE Hollowbody II Piezo offers a light shimmer and snap in an attractive package. The 58/15 “S” pickups deliver clarity and balance that sound big and musical in a hollowbody platform.
Boasting an LR Baggs/PRS Piezo system, the SE Hollowbody II Piezo provides musicians with the versatility of wielding both acoustic and electric tones in one instrument. The instrument is designed with two discrete volume controls (magnetics and piezo) and output jacks (mix/piezo and magnetics). Players can plug into the “Mix/Piezo” jack and use the individual volume controls to blend the 58/15 “S” pickups with the piezo’s acoustic tones. Alternatively, players can plug into the jacks separately, so the guitar can run magnetic pickups into an amp and run the piezo through an acoustic amp or DI into the soundboard. When using the magnetic output jack in isolation, the piezo battery is bypassed completely, acting as a failsafe (in this scenario, the magnetic pickups still work even if the piezo battery has run out of juice). This is the most versatile SE instrument in the Series twenty-year history.
All in all, an incredible spec for the money, flame maple, ebony, abalone birds, maple binding on the body, neck and f holes. Peizo pickup and a fitted hard case.
Absolutely brilliant little guitar and again, great spec for the money. Floyd Rose, EMG RetroActive Hot 70s pickups, actual rosewood board and a super flat 15.75 radius. Oh…. And an amazing crazy paint job.

A brilliantly fun guitar to play and as you’d imagine, the Mojo Goldfoil is absolutely epic. Everything you’d want from a single pickup at the bridge. Bright, snappy and utter filth.
I don’t have any scales to put it on but it’s on the lighter side of average. I’d guess at a bit under 8lbs.
