This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I will be playing this instrument for many, many years, be it privately during practice, or at gigs.
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.
Features
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.
