MGR/Sean Hankins « Fender DG 11-E »
Published on 12/24/03 at 15:00I bought this acoustic at a Guitar Center in East Brunswick, NJ. I needed an acoustic that i didn't have to worry about maintaining so much. I thought Fender meant reliable.
It's pretty. The action is easily adjustable. It sounds better plugged in than it does acoustic.
I guess you get what you pay for, in that it is a rather low-end model. It has a twang once you past the 5th fret, not bad, if that's the sound you want.
On my particular acoustic, the action was set way high out of the factory, and the nut fell off the first time I changed the strings. It would have quickly discouraged me if it was my first guitar.
I think that low end models need to be just as reliable as the high ends, because low ends are usually what people rely on. If a brand's 'starter guitar' falls apart, the consumer will not look to that brand again.
When it comes to Fender, stick to electrics.
