"Awsome Quality, Great Price!!"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This guitar will be great for me until I become famous!!! So I'll Probably have it for a long time!!
Sound
This guitar sounds great. I love it! I think that for the price you get a good value! I would recommend changing stock strings and maybe having it set up by a pro. I use it through a tube pre-amp and it sounds amazing!!!
Features
Having a passive pickup for me it needed a little more so I bought a tube pre-amp and it sound awsome!!
Ease of Use
How much more easy could they make it??
Quality
For being made in Korea the quality is great!! Most American brand name guitars that are made out of country are made in the same factory so people who say the quality is different among brands maybe don't know!!! I think the Quality is great!!! And I record with it too!!!
Value
For the price . . . Great Value!!!
The Wow Factor
Looks great!!! And it matches my custom Tom Delonge Strat!!! Black on black!!

"Ive had this guitar for 5 years."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Like I said...Ill always have this guitar...it sounds pretty good unplugged, nothing spectacular, but it doesnt sound bad. Its easy to play and stands up to being knocked over and dropped. I chose this as my first guitar and am still using it, so I think that says soemthing about it!
Sound
Pretty good sounding guitar for what it is (unplugged) and is very percussive. Plugged in is another matter....it is very lacking and very tinny not to mention the output is very low. Ive had the guitar about 5 years and though it is great for what it is and I will always keep it has a backup/beater guitar...I am getting a new one as I have out grown this one.
Features
For the guitar itself, I would give it an 8 for features. It has some nice white striping on the rosette and edges and isnt bad too look at. For the electric part I would give it about a 2 as the pickup is not good at all and the tone has to pretty much stay on -15 while the volume is on 10.
Quality
There is some glue splatters inside the guitar and the bridge has a tiny chip taken out of it. The nut and saddle could be made of better material...but its alot better than other things Ive played (like a DG-8).
Value
When I got this guitar, I think it was around $400 but as it is now $200 I think it is a better value.
Manufacturer Support
dont know
The Wow Factor
Um....ok? I dont think Ive ever lusted for a sub-$500 guitar...

Yah i paid between 500 and 600 canadian for it and i havent found anything wrong with the price, i know the price has gone down alot since i bought it, but its still not bad for what i paid for .
Manufacturer Support
I bought it brand new from a guitar store in Lethbrige Canada,and the staff at fender that i dealt with were good.

"Best guitar for the price"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Overall, you will fall in love
Sound
This was and still is my first acoustic guitar. Im about to get a new one but ill never get rid of this one. For the price, you couldnt go wrong. The only bad thing is when i got it the action was just a hair to high. But that was an easy fix. Mine has been banged up left in the heat and cold but for some reason it only sounded better. I highly recomend this guitar especially for beginners
Features
It only has a volume and tone. But youll quickly get it where you like it if you play with it a little bit
Ease of Use
Its great. super smooth neck and great playability. Cant beat it.
Quality
One word... Fender.
Value
Amazing. Great sound for an incredible price...beautiful guitar
Manufacturer Support
Never needed it, but im sure its great
The Wow Factor
Its beautiful. fits on your lap or over your shoulder like a supermodel

I bought the guitar and took the strings off to put new ones on and the plastic string bbridges fell off on both sides of the guitar. Another thing is that this fender is made in korea and inspected in the us. garbage
Value
Its a fender, you would think you get better quality, but you don't.
The Wow Factor
Its a great looking guitar. but its just junk
