Fender Steel String Guitars

My dad got this guitar at Music & Arts just to try something new. He payed about $260 for it. I like how the 2 low strings sound, they have a nice tone, but, the other 4 sound horrible to me. I has a nice black finish, that's probably why my dad kept it, 'cause he doesn't like the tone. Stays in tune a long time, but I don't see him playing it a lot, so that's the reason. Bad tone on the other 4 strings, horrible. Frets buzz all the time. Can't bend the strings. High quality, what you expect from Fender. I accidentally bumped it into the wall like a million times, it is still okay. The pickguard is coming off (And he doesn't even play with a pick} It isn't worth the price, I don't know about the acoustic-electric but this one isn't worth it, get a Stratocaster from Musician's Friend and have fun with it.

Guitar Trader.com paid 279.00 First off it is a beautiful guitar, I got the natural with the gold tuners. The flamed maple adds as much to the midrange of this guitar as it does the appearance. The playability is like nothing that I have seen in this price range. Spruce top, flamed maple back and sides, very light. Just a beautiful guitar for the money I LOVE this guitar, I only wish it was available with the same setup in an acoustic electric with a cutaway This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I brought this guitar from the best music store in Newcastle, Australia - Musos Corner. I paid $400 AUD (although I think it had $499 on the sticker).I brought it as I wanted an Acoustic guitar so I could get that special acoustic sound from it, A sound that you can't quite get, even with an effects pedal on the electric. I have an Electric, but there is nothing like playing an acoustic. I think I like this guitar more then my electric! It's a great sounding guitar. Very light construction and a great finish. Gives me a very crisp and nice clean sound. While Fender dont go all out providing an exciting finish on the guitar, they do go all out to make sure the construction is great, which of course provides for great sound. Plus of course you have a "Fender" sitting on the guitar stand! Well, as it sits here right beside me on it's stand, I can see nothing that I dont like about it... Nothing. It plays really well, sounds great & looks good. I was supprised at the price - I played and seen many guitars which were a whole lot more expensive then this one, yet didn't really appeal to me and what I like in a guitar (Basicly a nice sound, with a good feel and easy to play). It's a very light guitar, and I'm scared if I bump it I will break it... But I'd also be scared if i were driving an expensive car! Nothing to worry about though, I have bumped it a few times, and I can't see any dents or scratches on it. If you take care of your equipment you'll be fine. If you're looking at a new acoustic guitar, this could be the one for you. When I were looking for an Acoustic, it had to be a solid top, very nice sounding, good strings, nice construction and reasonably priced. Well this guitar has all that. It's really worth playing this guitar to compare before you buy one. Even if your budget is a little higher then what this guitar is priced. You'll be supprised!
