A Fishman Isys III pickup/preamp system captures every facet of your performance and crafts it into a signal for your Slide USB/iOS audio interface. Rock Prodigy and Amplitube software, along with USB and iOS cords and a guitar cable, are all included as well. Just add your Mac, PC or iOS device and a pair of headphones, and you'll be ready to record!

Get Connected with the Slide Audio Interface

Fender's Slide audio interface is a bidirectional bus-powered interface that lets you connect your acoustic-electric guitar to your Mac, PC, or iOS device. You can then take advantage of included software like IK Multimedia AmpliTube, or the Rock Prodigy guitar app. Plug your axe into the Slide's 1/4" instrument input, and then connect the Slide to your computer or mobile device to interact with software like AmpliTube -- an amp modeler with effects -- or the Rock Prodigy app, a guitar instructional app. You can also use the Slide with DAW software like GarageBand, Logic, or Ableton Live to record your guitar at up to 48 kHz/24-bit resolution. The Slide interface gives you an easy-to-use read more level dial and a mix dial, and its small size makes it a great companion to have on the go.

The Tonal Power of Spruce and Mahogany

Spruce has a nice linear grain pattern, which is easy on the eyes. It's also a popular wood choice for guitar tops because of its resilience to grazes and nicks. Tonally, it brings a sharp crispness, which helps your playing cut through more easily. Mahogany is commonly used in guitars because of its depth, warmth, and resonance. With a spruce and mahogany combo on the Fender FA-300CE, your playing will never be short of lows, mids, or highs.

Bound Mahogany Neck

The bound mahogany neck on this your Fender FA-300CE rests comfortably in your hand. A sturdy C shape welcomes your fingers as they navigate their away along this appendage's 20 frets. Each fret features a close action, and a smooth rosewood fingerboard plays like butter. A classy cutaway makes reaching those higher frets a breeze.

Articulate Fishman Isys III Electronics

This guitar's built-in Fishman Isys III electronics capture the warmth and full-bodied tone of your playing and fashion it all into a signal ready to hit your Slide audio interface. You consistently get all tone and no mud with every strum. An onboard tuner keeps your strings in tune, and the 3-band EQ lets you shape your bass, midrange, and treble bands however you like, before your signal hits your amplifier or your Slide audio interface.
