Fender GDO-500S

China
very fine for an acoustic round
20 frets

USE

very pleasant round
very good ergonomics for those who play a lot of acoustic orchestra shaped to feel less fatigue after several hours
the access to acute is worse than a guitar with pan kick but this is no one loses too low
yes we get a good sound very typical fender also quite bright, despite everything with a certain roundness with its precise good projection and well equilibrated (I have since 2 years it soon failing bass and sounded pretty but medium force play bass have devellopps and the sound is less medium it has equilibrated)

SONORITS

perfect for blues, country in ideal, perfect for the game doitgs, good guitar for solos because of its brilliance, but it fulfills its job in rhythmic
I prefer the sonority that is the typical grain ovangkol and powerful and brilliant warm cedar
with good depth, sustain is huge and adding the copper plugs must arretter the strings or the sound lasts for hours

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use since May 2008,
I tried other model and it is this one that I seduced but I admit that my budget not permettai me over 600 euros and it was the price at the relevant time otherwise I think I would have chosen else if I could put plus.je do not regret anything despite everything.
what I like most is the sonrit which is really subsidized loan over time and very pleasant as the game.
the quality and value for money really very good and if not for those who want to try another brand in this price range with Case at all there there's also massive guild but anyway the either money enters the cash fender
I probably do it again this choice, I may be opt for a martin X series but it's not over rule in general I am very happy, the only downside Case is a shit he redu soul in 6 + months using it with caution.
Finally, to complete I think it is a very good all massive guitar that he be given time to mature and always try SEVERAL model of the same model differs because the sound of a guitar to another even if it ' is exactly the same model and it must be remembered that I was when I started in 1991 the guitar at this price a guitar of this quality it was found quazi

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it? 2 months but since sold
What thing do you like most/least about it?
on paper while in reality she is beautiful from afar but up close and play is a casserole ...
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I've GDO assay 3 of 500: one that sounded good acoustics but the back was cracked and a big buzz when plugged, another set by a lumberjack unplayable, the 3rd had fewer defects and I've taken (I still wonder why?)
I wanted a travel guitar so cheap ... better buy a Baby Taylor in my opinion!

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
good because I bought 325 euros in new store with Hard Case (good and beautiful for that matter), I sold 290 euros after 2 months ...
On paper with a very massive fihsmann + Tuner and Hard case it was unexpected at this price but ... interresting for a beginner but my face and Tacoma Taylor 214 ...
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
no, the quality is far too random and eventually even if it's not any solid it sounds terrible ...
