But more importantly, the setup is perfect for a beginning guitarist like my little boy.
This is a great guitar for fingerstyle playing, but even strummed, there’s no buzz. The neck is straight, and the action is set up low, though it does raise just a little bit in the higher registers but it’s not so bad that it’s not playable. There are no uneven paint lines, and all the seams are clean and straight. The build quality of this guitar is awesome, just like my CV Tele. Great sound, great playability at a SUPER-affordable price! Then I started playing it, and thought, This couldn’t be a Fender acoustic! It sounds and plays way too nice – especially at $179!įolks, this guitar is a sleeper, and it reminds me of the experience I had with my Squier Classic Vibe Tele. But this had a sweet, gorgeous, rich tone. For a smaller-body guitar, I wasn’t expecting much sound-wise. But, the thought also occurred that it was a Fender acoustic, and my previous experiences with those haven’t been all that good.īut in spite of my preconceptions, I decided to give it a try and was immediately surprised by the tone of the guitar. I immediately thought to myself that it looked really nice. So I sat in the acoustic room, and my gaze fell upon the Fender. The Little Martin was impressive and solidly built and was at a great price of $189, but it wouldn’t be available until Wednesday due to some city ordinance about a waiting period for used guitars. I tried guitars from Mitchell, a used “Little Martin,” several Yamaha guitars, and even a Gretsch. I didn’t want to spend over $200 for this guitar, but luckily, as a big-box retailer, Guitar Center has a pretty wide selection of “value” guitars. So today I went to Guitar Center and spent a couple of hours in their acoustic room evaluating all sorts of acoustic guitars.
My thought is that just like my dad did for me, I’d give my son a brand new guitar for his first one. And since his birthday was coming up, I thought I’d get him a new one, as opposed to fixing up one of my old ones. His teacher, Michael, had accompanied him out of the lesson room and told me that he was ready. My 12-year-old son has been taking Ukelele lessons for a couple of years, and after he finished his last lesson, he came out and told me that he wanted to start playing guitar. Fender really surprised me with this guitar! Tone Bone Rating: 4.75 ~ For what it is, I can’t help but give this guitar a great rating.

And for a smaller concert size guitar, this has a very rich sound it’s quite unexpected.Ĭons: The only nit that I have – and it’s really just a nit – is that the tuners are bit fast for my tastes.
