  • Great guitar for the money!

    As reviewed by Oenghus on 4/28/2010

    Just got my Fender Sonoran today and I am amazed with it. First of all, right out of the box, all I had to do was tune it and it was ready to play. Let me repeat that ... right out of the box, tune it, ready. Amazing. I can't even say that about my Les Paul. Anyway, it has great tone and volume, nice action and amazing playability. Finally an acoustic guitar that I can actually PLAY. Hammer-ons, pull offs, barre chords, lead runs, the whole gamut of actually playing a real guitar ... love the neck it feels / plays just like my Showmaster. I don't go for that finger pickin' stuff ... so I'm really pleased with this guitar that I can just play it like I would any of my electrics. And it sounds great through my Marshall LOL, sick playing an acoustic with distortion. Great practice guitar ... and after owning it for just 3 hours, I feel confident enough in it to play out with it tomorrow night at a gig. BUY THIS GUITAR! You will not be disappointed. And the candy apple red is stunning BTW.

  • Can't Beat It for the Money

    As reviewed by Roger C. on 7/28/2010

    I was looking to purchase a "Travelin' Guitar" to take on trips and vacation, and came across the Fender Sonoran. The immediate coolness of the Strat headstock mated to a dreadnaught body is a REAL eyecatcher! I played it quite a bit in the store, and it played very well and displayed the quality Fender is noted for. Having played it quite a bit in the last week, I am extremely pleased, and happy to add it my collection of seven other fine electric and acoustic guitars. The tone is excellent while playing acoustic, and really comes alive when setting up and playing through an amp stack. For the money, you just can't beat the head turning looks, sound, playability and quality of this moderately priced acoustic-electric. If you can find one - BUY IT!

  • Absolutley Great

    As reviewed by Matt on 5/24/2010

    This guitar is absolutley amazing. First thing is that it is so so buetiful. It looks so amazing. True fender style with a southern california surfer twist. I bought the black which has a very fun loving style but can also be very proffesional. It sounds amazing acoustic or electric. It keeps fine no warping of the neck. Another AMAZING thing about this guitar is that it stays it tune sooooo well. Tune it leave it for a week and itll be in tune
