I must say, for the money you can't beat this guitar. My buddy plays a $1,600+ Taylor guitar and often compliments my guitar, whether it's plugged or unplugged!

Sounds great plugged or unplugged, but is the biggest standout when unplugged. It has a lovely warm tone.

You have good control over the plugged sound with the three EQs (low, mid, high) and the tuner is easy to use.

Action could be just a fraction lower in my opinion, but it's good enough and of all the guitars I tried in the guitar shops before buying this one, I got the least amount of string buzzing on frets with this one.

The satin finish on the top is very attractive and the mahogony looks really good too. Although this guitar is said to have a gloss finish everywhere other than the top, mine looks like a satin finish all over, which I prefer to the high gloss. The whole guitar is nice and slippery to the touch.

Since I got the 2011 model for $400 Australian Dollars (RRP $599), I am extremely happy with the value-for-money. It's worth the full RRP as far as I'm concerned.

Hard to judge just yet, as I've only had one email exchange with Fender Australia, but the reply was prompt and enthusiastic in tone.

Awesome sound and playability tried six guitars before this one and it was meant to be.
