From Our Catalog
First introduced in the late 50's, the Fender Violin is a unique instrument that has all the tone, playability, and features that musicians have come to expect from Fender. This beautiful, full-size instrument features a chambered body, solid Spruce top, Maple back and sides, Ebony fingerboard, and special-design piezo electric bridge. The Fender Violin comes as a complete outfit that includes a hardshell case, bow, and rosin. Don't forget to send in the warranty registration card to Fender to receive maximum benefits.
An electric violin? Yes! Like most things stringed, Fender makes one of the best. The top is solid spruce, the back and sides are maple, and the fingerboard is ebony. A Fender piezo bridge helps it sing. It even includes a bow, rosin, 2 chin rests, and hardshell case.

"Great product, totally recomend it."
Feature:
Not too many features, but most of the ones are great. Only bad thing is the shoulder rest, mine keeps falling out if i take it off of my shoulder for too long.

Quality:
ive had mine for about a year now and it still sounds just as good as the first day. No scratches, blemishes, nothin. still gorgeous.

Value:
value is no doubt one of the best on the market, great price for such a nice instrument.

Desirability:
it looks great, very intriguing and has a kind of mystery about it that draws people to it. Lovely tone as well and helps me with my playing a great deal.

Sound:
Sound is great, lots of room for your own technique, not over powering. Plays great, easy to move around the fingerboard and loads of fun. I learn new things to do with it everyday, great product.

Ease of Use:
very easy to use, i learn new things every time i play it. its a blast.

Support:
im sure if i needed them then i wouldnt be dissappointed

Overall:
i love this violin. it plays just like a traditional but has the capacity to be much much more than traditional. Fender really hit a home run with this great instrument!

"Seek one out, play it, and you should be sold on it."
Feature:
Great hardshell case, rugged,....as if I would smack it around? However there is a comfort level knowing the case looks like it can take a "hit".

Quality:
Nicely finished, pegs are ititially hard to turn, but once roughly tuned the 4 fine tuners do a nice job of the rest of the process.

Value:
For the price, you would be hard pressed to match the value!!

Desirability:
Cool looking, most of my music friends were impressed with the look. It still maintains some semblance to a regular violin.

Sound:
Excellent sound, and amplified sound characteristics. I've always owned and played violins professionally (35+ years), and have been resisting an electric. This one sounds the best for the $.

Ease of Use:
Good pick-up on the violin, ....I would like more realistic tone controls,....accurate volume control,...."plug and play"

Support:
Haven't had to use their services, so I can't comment.
