Fender FR50CE Resonator Guitar Reviews

"Love and Jazz"
Feature:
The best feature is combination of magnetic and piezzo pickup and possibilitie to split output to two different amps.

Quality:
It is cheap instrument crafted with cheap materials, so expectation should not be very high, but this instrument is very nice and well done. There is a small problems with resonator. In some positions appears some buzzing, but nothing what cannot be set well in one hour.

Value:
I pay it less than 500 euros in Thomann, so it is quite good price for such instrument

Desirability:
If I don't want it I wouldn't buy it.

Sound:
Sound is very nice, but to low for resonator guitar. I expect much louder guitar in unpluged way. Pickups make thing better when it is amplifired. Tele pickup has nice and worm tone, but instead acoustic strings which comes with guitar I put there electric Ernie Ball strings with wounded G string. With those strings bass strings sound much better when guitar is pluged. Piezzo is ok, but you should not use it over the half of power becouse if you open it too much sounds too crispy and like to have bad feedback.

Ease of Use:
It is very easy and intuitive to use. Two volume pots and one tone pot connected to the magnetic pickup. Problem could be with pot knobs which have no numeric scale on it, so you have to be experienced to control sound changes on stage. Guitar is very comfortable to play in ergomic way (for me). Action is perfect to combine slide with fingering.

Support:
Do not need it

Overall:
Hard to say, but i expect long time. Of course I would like to have one National, but it is to expensive for me, so Fender is good enough now.

"If you know you like resonators, give this one a look. If you are just toe-dipping resonators, there are some decent ones that"
Feature:
No accessoeries....just a guitar in a box.

Quality:
Beautiful high gloss finish...very thick...probably contributes to the low volume when un=pugged. Sexy "F" holes. Decent tuners. Excelent intonation. Nice inlays for fret markers. Seems very solid.

Value:
Lots of features...2 pups, cut-a-way, decent fit & finish, versatile in playability, pretty to look at, a joy to play.

Desirability:
I have one and I'm very satisfied with it. Every time I pick it up I'm deleighetd. don't find myself day-dreaming about a fancy, expensive resonator. OK...well maybe a square neck woud be nice.

Sound:
A bit low on volume....but the Tele Pick-up and the Fishman Cone Transducer make that issue go away. The Fishman feeds back readily if you are too close to the amp...very sensitive...but the sound is very authentic whem amped.

Ease of Use:
Action is low enough to paly like a regular guitar in standard tuning and with a curved porcelin slice in Dobro tuning. V+T controls for the Tele Pick-up. V only for the Fishman. Both V controls can be be blended.

Support:
Haven't needed it.

Overall:
It's so "pretty"...I'm tempted not to take it camping or to the beach. I just play it with my kids, grandkids and freinds and it is perfect for what I use it for.
