Amazing!

I was looking around for a nice, quality guitar, and I saw this mounted in the store. It has a beautiful, full sound and is light and comfortable to hold. Also at a great price! It holds tune pretty well and comes with great strings. I love it!

It's ok

poorly constructed action is extremely high and not even the truss rod could fix the situation. Fender was of no help either when speaking to them. Can't say this applies to all their guitars but it certainly tells me they're inconsistent with their work. As for guitar center the in-store rep was great

    I took great care in selecting this guitar, so I knew I was going to love it before I even got it.

    I do like this guitar. The on board electronics are not to my liking. The pickup lost both the high E and low E almost immediately 😢. It plays pretty well though and sounds good. I wouldn't think it has the quality of sound needed for either recording or playing gigs with hyper discerning folks! Personal opinion though!

  • very nice

    I started playing a year and a half ago, when I turned 69. I had a background in music but never played a guitar. I enjoy playing and learning as much as I can. I just loved the sound of this Fender. It is very rich and mellow. I bought it that day.
