Fender Duo Sonic, Maple, Arctic White

I have small hands and have a Telecaster that I love the look and sound of, but the typically large neck is difficult to play. This Duo Sonic matches the Tele for overdriven sounds and had similar tonal characteristics. You'll want to turn your volume and tone down a little bit and you'll get an overdriven sound that is great for rock, punk and indie. The pickups are low output, and the bridge pickup can sound a bit weedy fully clean. Which is no bother to me, because who plays clean anyway?The finish and build quality are superb. It's really striking in white.The guitar is perfect for someone with slightly smaller hands or a student. Although not a cheap guitar it falls into the upper end of 'affordable' electrics. If you want to buy your son or daughter a decent guitar to learn on, they'll love you for buying this. Equally, it's of a high enough quality to keep experienced guitarists happy.I think I'll probably upgrade the pickups and tuners and have some fun with this guitar because it's so much fun to play.
