Description

Fender is thrilled to introduce the FA-125CE Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar. Boasting all-laminate construction with a nato neck, this single-cutaway dreadnought pumps out a robust tone with balanced frequency response. The Fishman pickup system captures the guitar's natural voice for amplifying its sound. Developing players will appreciate the FA-125CE's modern 3+3 headstock and Viking bridge, which provide a smooth playing feel.

All-Laminate Build Produces Resonant Tone

The FA-125CE's all-laminate construction gives it a resonant tone and durable build. Quality materials like nato, a lightweight African wood, produce balanced sound with solid bass, warm mids and clear highs. Laminate construction also provides strength and stability, even with changes in humidity. The result is an instrument that sounds as good as it looks, gig after gig.

Modern 3+3 Headstock and Viking Bridge Enable Effortless Play

Fender designed the FA-125CE for playability, starting with its modern 3+3 headstock. The streamlined headstock, combined with a Viking bridge, creates a smooth playing experience for beginners and developing artists. These contemporary appointments give the classic dreadnought a modern and accessible feel, whether practicing at home or performing live.

Onboard Fishman Electronics Amplify Natural Tone

The Fishman pickup system captures the FA-125CE's balanced acoustic sound for amplifying and modifying tone. Its discreet preamp has an intuitive layout, with easy-to-use controls for volume, EQ and tone shaping. The pickup assures amplified tone remains true to the guitar's natural voice. This simple yet comprehensive electronics system gives players control over their sound in any live or recording scenario.

Dreadnought Body Produces Bold, Resonant Tone

The FA-125CE's dreadnought body shape is known for a bold, resonant tone with solid low end and warm midrange. Its large size produces a full, enveloping sound suitable for any genre. The single-cutaway design also provides comfortable access to higher frets for advanced playing techniques. Overall, the dreadnought body's versatile, well-rounded tone suits the needs of any developing guitarist.

    is this comfortable for smaller people to play? I'm 5ft tall and wondering if I can get my arm around it.

    Open Reply - Gear-Advisor
    No. This is a dreadnought - meant to be big and loud. There are better choices. I will have a product specialist contact you with options.
