MGR/Don « Fender GA45S »
Published on 06/19/03 at 15:00Purchased from World Music. A small local music store. I was looking for my first guitar and wanted something that was easy to play and looked good. The Fender GA45S has low action, small body and good looks. Paid about $450.00.
To find a guitar with a solid spruce top and solid rosewood back, abalone rosette and headstock inlay, gold Grover tuners, tortis bound body and fretboard and a beautiful gloss finish for under $500.00 is rare. It's very easy to hold and to play. Not sure about the quality of the sound becuase it's my first guitar and i havn't played any real quality guitars. The sound did really improve with Martin or D'Addario strings.
There is a small amount of dust under the satin finish on the back of the neck. You can't see it but you can feel it. It's down low near the body so yiu don't feel when your'e playing. There is one very small run in the finish where the fretboard meets the top.
I've had it for six months now and play it almost every day and it seems very soild.
I don't see how you can beat it for the money. It looks like a guitar costing much more. I'm told by others with more experience that the sound quality is great also. Add a John Grevin pickguard which matches the binding perfectly and your'e ready to go.
