SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: I traded mine in when I consolidated for my upcoming college years. Off the shelf, with the strings on it when purchased, it sounds brilliantly warm and full. It keeps tune, in all of the different tunings I put it in. It never sounded buzz-y, and only gets warmer and warmer with use. Feature: This guitar came with a Fender hard shell case, fully padded on the inside. It being and AcoustElectric,there is a very apt cutaway, one that isn't hard to use as you move up the fretboard. The electric system, with a decent preamp, is located on top of the guitar, boasting a three channel EQ, built-in tuner and volume knob. The amp jack is on the bottom, located in the strap pin. (There are two strap pins, which is nice to see on an acoustic) Ease of Use: The action on my guitar was perfect when I traded for it. Partly because this is a good instrument, partly because my local music store takes pride in all of their instruments, and makes it a point to only sell out what they, themselves, would play. Quality: Sturdy construction coupled with great tonal quality. Value: Had I had to pay retail for this guitar, I would not have been upset. With the free hard shell case, it is well worth the price tag. The Wow Factor: I was magnetically drawn to the sunburst color of my guitar. And, being a lover of Fender already, I just had to have it. Overall: I will be playing this instrument for many, many years, be it privately during practice, or at gigs.

Sound: Only my 17th fret on the 1st string has a twang sound, but it is because it comes in contact with another fret, and I just have to fix the action height. Feature: Great amp for a great price! Ease of Use: Depends what your action height is, but overall the strings it comes with are easy enough to learn with. :) Quality: It's Fender, and mine hasn't been through much, but it is decently sturdy for a piece of wood. Value: Great price for a great sounding product. I tried an equally priced Washburn, Ovation, and Ibanez, and the Fender cd-60ce out performed them all. The Wow Factor: Natural finish says 'I am classy, but I know how to party' better than any other of these silly finishes. Overall: Amazing.

Sound: Tonal quality is excellent, and gives a full rich sound when strummed. Unplugged sound quality is exceptional, as expected with medium bodied guitars. Didn't get to test it plugged in until I got home, but wasn't dissapointed at all when I was able to plug it in. I'm mainly using a small Epiphone valve jr combo amp at church, and it sounds great. Falls short of a Martin for natural sound and low end tones, but for a fraction of the cost, this is a much better value. Compared to a similarly priced Epiphone DR-200ce, the sound was less natural(clean), but "bigger" and "richer." It was a toss-up between the 2, but I went with this one for the overall value. Feature: Comes with a black hard shell case that's fully padded on the inside with a fender logo on the outside. The shell has a simple finish that's glossy and looks neat. A pick guard is also installed to the body. It has a Fishman mini q pickup for plugin that's well placed not to interfere with cabling when played sitting down or standing up. 2 knob volume and tone control works very well. Wish there was a built in tuner though. Ease of Use: Great sound out of the box. Very easy to play and a great guitar to learn on for beginners. The tone knob gives you overall tonal control that does very well, and comparable to 3-way equalizers in guitars for sound shaping. Quality: I was getting heavy "twangy" string noise on the 13th fret, but fixed with a 'set-up'. Exceptional fit and finish, and I expect this guitar to last a long time. No cosmetic issues when I bought it. This guitar has a solid feel to it, and the glossy finish resists most minor scratches from clothing articles rubbing against it. Value: Can't beat the value. Rich sound, solid workmanship, and a hard shell case makes this one of the best guitar deals around. It was a toss-up between this guitar and an Epiphone DR-200ce. Both sounded great, but an included hard-shell case made this a much better overall value. Manufacturer Support: Mine had to be 'set-up' to fix minor issues. The Wow Factor: Simple plain looks doesen't stand out in the crowd. The finish is however very good, and it feels solid, and very easy to play. It looks like a dozen other plain acoustic guitars out there until you play it and find out what it costs. Overall: I got this guitar as an addition to my others. I have an ovation celebrity and a fender stratacoustic. I was looking for a medium bodied guitar to sound good unplugged, since my other 2 needs to be plugged in to be appreciated. I'll use this more at home unplugged to practice on, and also Sundays at Church during praise and worship. I'm planning to keep this guitar for a while since it's a solid piece. I went to the store to look at another guitar model(Takamine G series), but picked this up based on value. I dont think I can get a better deal on a good sounding guitar for under $500 brand new with a hard case.

Sound: It was a wonderful, warm sound which definitely improves the longer you play it. Great tone, and it's a pleasure to play. Feature: Comes with a built in pre-amp with bass, middle and treble controls, which give great control when plugged in. Above the controls there's a volume control and the built in tuner which is by far one of the most useful things in this guitar. The jack is in the bottom strap pin. Ease of Use: Plays great out of the box. The playing action it came with is just a tad bit too high, perfectly playable, but I prefer mine a little lower, adjusting the playing action is easy, nothing to it. The strings it came with sounded great. Great guitar for virtually all skill levels. Quality: Great solid guitar. Wonderful finish, very resistant to simple scratches. Well made. It travels back and forth between my dorm and my parents place whenever I go back and forth, handles it just fine. Value: Seeing as I got a wonderful deal on this I can't complain one bit. But taking into account it comes with an exceptional fender hard case, I feel it'd be well worth the retail. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had any issues yet, hence haven't needed any yet. The Wow Factor: Looks like a standard cutaway. Nothing too special in looks, I mean it's an acoustic-electric. It looks like one. Overall: I plan on playing this guitar for a long time to come. It sound wonderful, it's solid, and there's really not a whole lot of reasons for me to go looking for another one right now.

Sound: I can only say that I once started playing it for the first time I could not stop for at least two hours. The sound is full, warm and clean. (This applies only when played unplugged, as I don't have tried it otherwise) Feature: Bought it barefoot with no case. The most useful feature is the tuner that helps my kid to stay tuned without asking for my help anymore. Ease of Use: Very easy to play, does not require much effort with barres Quality: Quality is overall good. On the exterior I don't like che joint on the top that shows a line in the middle (I have the sunburst model) that is very evident. The interior could be better. Value: 174 EUR barefoot for a fender like this sounds very good to me Manufacturer Support: No need for assistance yet

Sound: sound is just average Ease of Use: action i thought was not great at all, at about the 9th it is about a 1/4 of an of the board, the volume and tone controlls are right next to the plug in jack, verry awkward and annoying Quality: seems to be descently made Value: overall value i would say its a 7 and that is because you get the hardcase with it, but i would deffinately get it set up if you buy it The Wow Factor: the sunburst finish is gorgeous, looks so nice but dont let that make your decision Overall: overall i would only be satisfied with this untill i could save up for a better guitar. and comparring this to other ae's that are available it is by far not the best and not even close, the the washburn d10sce, it is a far, far, far, far, far better guitar in everysingle way possible
