MGR/John He « Fender DG-22SCE »
Published on 04/04/04 at 15:00I got this guitar at my local Guitar Center and paid around $500 with a hardshell case, a strap, and some extra stuff. I think I got the guitar itself for around $400 (around $50-100 less than the lowest price online).
The tone is great for a non-solid back and sides. It's a bright tone, and sounds great with the Elixir Nanowebs I put on them. The gold tuners add a nice touch to the guitar's already very nice look. I have it in Sunburst finish, which adds further to the personality of the guitar.
The action was crazy high when I bought this guitar, and in addition, once I lowered the action myself, there were two pretty deep slots in my saddle. This might have been the problem with the muffled sound when I first plugged it in. The gloss finish pisses me off...of course all gloss finishes do. Also, with hindsight, I would much rather have bought it without a pick-up, as Piezo pick-ups sound like crap if you play too hard.
The quality pretty much lives up to the Fender name. Fender isn't known for Acoustics, but it is known for quality. The solid Sitka Spruce top develops its tone more and more as you play it...it's one of those friends you'll have for a very long time.
This guitar is well worth the price, and I highly suggest it. It's a great guitar to start out with. However, I do wish the back and side were solid, and see how the tone would be.
