The recent version with the bridge coil tap humbucker.
How small are these things? I like the idea of how basic they seem.

I have one that I built, and it's a sweet player. Sort of like a Strat shaped short-scale Telecaster. It covers a lot of ground too...like a Tele, very useful for just about any musical style. I moved switch to a position behind the tone control because it was sort of in the way there on the treble horn. This is just because of the way I play, and not really a bad thing at all. It has Duncans in it and a Warmoth neck with repro decal. I called it a "GT" because I had a Mustang decal and I borrowed the G and the T from it.  Click to enlarge pic |

I have one, and really like it.
There is a fair volume difference between the full 'bucker and split, or the neck pup, but it's no big deal - hit the volume knob. I don't really hear much tone difference between the full 'bucker and split - mostly the volume difference.
The body really isn't all that small. Sort of narrower, but no shorter than a Strat. One difference is that the DuoSonic is about 2" longer behind the bridge (partly due to shorter scale?), so I guess it hangs different on a strap. Doesn't bother me.

There are also several versions of Mustang available too...some with single coils and some with humbuckers, with or without a vibrato bridge. The body shape is similar to the Duo-Sonic, but the Mustang has an offset waist like a Jazzmaster. The current Squier series is pretty good.
