Fender Acoustic Guitars

The Fender Resonator FR 50 is an acoustic resonator guitar that has no pick ups or setting controls, and relies on metal resonators to give it its unique sound. The neck is made out of rosewood, and it has a spruce top with mahogany sides. UTILIZATION The neck of the Fender Resonator FR 50 has a fluid feel, making the guitar really easy to play. I was new to resonator style guitars when I got this guitar and I found that the transition was quick easy with thanks to the beautiful neck and overall feel of this guitar. The guitar is heavier than an average guitar, but that is to be expected due to the metal resonators. Its pretty easy to get a sound as the inherent tone is pretty good, of course you must know how to play it though! SOUNDS The overall sound heard from the Fender Resonator FR 50 is pretty impressive, especially considering the price of this guitar. It is heard mostly in country, folk, and bluegrass music but is suitable for any type that you would want to use it with. I have used it for recording and practicing all types of music ranging from pop and rock to traditional country and bluegrass. I'm always happy with the sounds I get from this guitar and the sound has definitely exceeded my expectations. OVERALL OPINION I've been using the Fender Resonator FR 50 for about a year and I have found it to be a more than adequate introduction to the world of resonator guitars. I've always loved the sound of a resonator guitar and I when I saw that Fender was selling one for such a cheap price I had to try it out, and I've been pleasantly surprised ever since. This is a perfect guitar for those looking to try out or get into playing resonator guitars and is even suitable for recording and live shows. I love having my Fender Resonator FR 50 guitar around and would highly recommend it for all looking for a cheap resonator.

This is Fender's new 12 string put out for 2011. I was loaned on out for a few weeks to give it a go. I couldn't be happier with the tone and feel of it. This guitar costs $230 and it brand new for 2011. It should be available now at any store or website that sells Fender. The tone! First thing I do when I pickup a 12 string and play the intro chords to Boston's More Than A Feeling. I listen closely for tuning and tone. That is how you tell the real guitars from the toys. If it sounds over trebly and thin, set it down. This guitar you could really feel in your gut as you strummed an open chord. Nothing that I can think of. The guitar is built with a spruce top and mahogany is the wood of the neck, back and sides. The fretboard is rosewood. The nut, saddle and tuners do their job well, but I was wondering if I could just get a wee bit more thicker tone with some more heavy duty hardware. No complaints though. If you have always wanted a 12-string to keep around for inspiration this is a low risk full sounding instrument. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I'm in a band, r. guitar and singer. I've been playing guitar for several months, by I've had lessons, so I'm pretty good. I had gotten an Ibanez Gio (electric) a while back, and since I write my own music I needed an acoustic to get the sound I wanted. I couldn't find the right sound at Guitar Center, so I went to EZPawn. Yes, a pawn shop. There were two Fender DG 7's, one in good condition and one with some superficial scratches and a big dent in the body. I bought the injured one, because it felt right and it cost $64.00. The dent doesn't even hurt the sound. The neck is sooo smooth... It plays like a dream, plus it builds callouses faster because the strings are a little further from the neck than usual. Chords sound great! Not a single con. It's actually really well built, but what else can you expect from Fender? Being a beginner, it works great for me - and my uncle, who has played guitar for thirty years and still plays live, says it's just awesome.

I aquiured this guitar from the American Musical Supply website. I did so beacuase I had a need to play guitar. I paid 200 dollars for this unit and some equipment. I love everything about this guitar. Though I haven't had much experience with the instrument, I knew that from the moment I felt the strings, touched them to the neck, and strummed, that I had made the right choice. It has a great tone, it is very easy to use and tune, beutiful coloration, and great overall quality. After using this guitar, I can safely say that my weeks of reaserch and reading reveiws has really payed off! There is nothing that I can find about this amazing guitar that I don't find of great value and great quality. I think that this guitar was a great purchase, and if I had a choice of guitars in it's price range, I would definately chose this guitar once again. I highly reccomend the SG11 to any consumer or musician out there that are looking for a high quality, low priced guitar. The SG11 is very well constructed, with great quality. It appears as if a lot of effort went into this guitar, and the tone of this guitar reflects it as well. Overall, the SG11 is a great buy to all people looking for a good deal. It is a high quality instrument with no major flaws. I am very glad that I purchased it as it is a great addition to any collection.

I bought this guitar at guitar cnter for $280 plus a gig bag (i got the price dwon about $100 and got a gig bag, nice). I played many acoustics there over a period of time, andthis one just seemed perfect for me. The tone that this guitar has is incredible, it sounds PERFECT! for a good acoustic rock sound. it stays in tune very well, it is perfect and I've not tuned it in a month! The neck is fast, and the action is great. overall it is a quality instrument, at a great price. the only thing that i didn't like about it is that the one i got was on teh showroom flor, so other people hada a chance to play it before me. there are absolutely no physical flaws on the guitar, great quality. if you don't want to spend a forture on a Gibson, Taylor, or a Martin then buy this guitar, because it is awesome, i love it and hope that you will too.

I bought a Tom Anderson Classic in June of 2001 . This was purchased at Pontiac Music and Sound in Keego Harbor, Michigan. I paid just over $2000 for it. I bought this guitar because I heard good things about them plus I was familiar with them. This guitar is very special to me because it's my first custom made instrument. The things I like about it are the top-rate workmanship, the tone, wieght (it's light as a feather),the feel, the versatility, and the playability. To me, this is what a strat-style guitar should be. The resonance on my guitar is unreal, almost as if it were 35 years old. The swamp ash body is primo with great figure. The VA pickups give all the the strat goodies but with an extended top and bottom end. Tom Andersons all play like butter and mine is no exception. I've used this guitar both live and in the studio and it really sits well in the mix. It seems to cut through better than my Fenders but is warmer sounding as well. It's like a Strat with magic dust sprinkled over it. The clean sound is awesome and the distorted sounds are eqally impressive. In my opinion, this is the best all-around strat-style axe I've ever played in my life. There is nothing I don't like about this axe at all. This guitar has a swamp ash body with a one-piece maple neck and fingerboard. For the pickups, there are three Anderson VAs. In the neck, a VA1,aVA1 R in the middle, and a VA2 in the bridge position. It also sports a vintage Anderson tremolo bridge and has the Buzz Feiten tuning system. The neck has the '62 round back profile with 22 frets and locking tuners. It's body is finished in translucent blue. This guitar has a push-pull knob that adds the bridge pickup to the neck/neck-middle positions for a total of 7 pickup combinations. My final thoughts on this guitar,are that this represents the very best in the bolt-on neck market. You get top-rate construction, great tone, phenominal playability, and good versatility in this package. I have to admit, this is a very expensive instrument, but then anything this good costs a pretty penny. You can pay alot less but you would'nt do as well. I highly recomend this guitar to any serious musician who wants the best and does'nt mind paying for it. Worth every penny. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

Well Once upon a time back in 1964, I owned a Silvertone acoustic and kept it for three or four years, till my brother decided to make kindling out of it. Well I never forgot that but anyway, he gave me a slightly used Fender GC 23S for Christmas this year. Its a real beauty and sweet. Nice rich tone all up and down and across the fingerboard. Handles very well. Even played a little blues on it with a home made slider make out of a empty wine bottle. Just take you a long staight neck wine bottle,(one your slider finger will fit in) tie a string around the neck,squit lighter fluid on it light it, let it get hot and break it off. Then do the same on the other end. Sand down both ends and you got one. My brother said he gave $250.00 for it. I give it a five and forgive my brother. Great sound. Good looks. Performs with a personality and responsive. I dont know yet. Mahogamy back and sides, spruce solid top, rosewood fingerboard, chrome tuners and rosewood bridge.Grand concert sized body. I give it a five. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

Guitar Trader in San Diego Ca. I went in with a Guitar and price range in mind and this - by far - exceeded the expectations for the price it was offered at. I paid around $300 - 350 for Guitar, Hard Case, 2 stands, strings, strap, and a handfull of picks. I went through several Guitars before this one overcame me with it's sheer beauty and sound. Definitely a great looker. I got the Natural which is spruce and very light, beautiful golden machine heads. I have stand for it to proudly display itself in my living room. Then, well you can't pass it without picking it up or at least struming the strings, the sound is tremendous. strings sit a litle high from the frets.. that's about it very nice and high quality construction way worth the price.

I got the guitar at Guitar Gallery in Phoenix, Arizona. I paid $250.00 for it. I love everything about it, this is my first acoustic guitar and I picked the perfect one for me. I like everything about it. Outstanding features in a high-value solid top guitar. The DG-14S sports Fender's exclusive wood tone finish, which allows the body and neck of the guitar to vibrate more freely for maximum resonance. Clear lows, robust mids, sparkling highs, and great feel and playability are what you'll find in the DG-14S. Available in right-handed, 12-string and left-handed versions. This guitar was a great investment, and I would recommend it to anyone. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com
