Fender FA-345CE Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

Song Writing and Performance are the reasons I purchased this guitar. I have 11 electric guitars but both my Classical and other Steel string are acoustic only. I played this guitar a year agon at the Rancho GC and fell in love, but did not see it again and when finally ready to pull the trigger, it was not in stock, so I called a few GCs and they had the Guitar-(Demo) available at the San Bernardino Store. I picked it up and the had polished it up, had no scratched of blemishes of any king, bout a case and a strap-(The only issue was the guitar strings were dead, so later that week I bought some D'Addario XS Phosphor Bronze Strings, WOW!!!!! Sounds AMAZING for the Price this guitar is a DEAL!!!

I used to play guitar in the 70s now that I'm retired I decided to pick it up again and this is a great guitar to learn all over again. It's kind of like riding a bike you never forget but your body doesn't want to cooperate with your mind. So it's a task. I'm working through it and thankfully this guitar is easy to play. I almost forgot it sounds great too. I've never had a acoustic guitar that sounds as good as this one.

I wanted an acoustic-electric concert/auditorium sized guitar at a reasonable price. I'm not a gigging musician, so no need to spend big money. Went to a couple of stores and physically played over a dozen guitars in the $400 to $550 range. Ended up coming down to this and the Fender Newporter. The FA-345CE had a fuller sound in the room with no amplifier. Very happy with this guitar!

I've been playing song on my other guitars but they all sound best on this one. Great craftsmanship, great sound, and it won't break the bank.

Better than I expected it to be.

Love this guitar! Been playing for many years and always in the market for gear. That said the fit and finish on this guitar is exquisite...zero blemishes. Stunning good looks and the sound is vibrant without being "tinny" and covers the gauntlet from deep rich bass ,to good solid clean trebles. The electronics are Fishman which I really like. Now here's the kicker...anyone who knows guitars knows the B string has a habit of making weird noises. Well...its almost nil on this one! I was playing a Taylor guitar and just couldnt get that B string to stop...sold it and for half the money got this Fender. There's no need to spend $1000 or more to get a great guitar. This guitar delivers great sound,great playing neck and superb fit and finish. Intonation is perfect!! I'd have no problem taking this on stage any nite.
