Honestly, I goes to my Guitar Shop not thiking at Fender at all for a new acoustic guitar, I tried a lot in the price range of $700 and finaly I choose a Fender Malibu Classic GAC, playability, look and sound so so good !
Ive got a newer fender acoustic model, the C-something or other ## model (cc 60 but it’s got a cutaway) has a badass fishman pickup system in it. it’s freakin awesome. I played about 15 different acoustics in the guitar center acoustic room, it was the best, most resonant one of all the rest of the $500ish models I played. My grandpa told me I could get whatever I wanted around $600 total and that’s why I picked.
I recently got a Fender CC60-S All Mahogany, changed the plastic nut and saddle for bone, put on some D'Addario Phosphor Bronze and now it sounds PHENOMENAL, like a much more expensive instrument. Great guitar if you ask me.
I did the same thing with mine (spruce too, though I would prefer mahogany but I can't find a lefty model) but I used TUSQ The volume and sustain were INCREDIBLE! For sure this upgrade makes all the difference!
I love my Fender Hellcat. It's pretty close to the first one demo'd in this video except for cool fret markers- it has a solid mahogany top, maple neck with binding on a rosewood fretboard (now walnut), good tuners, and can be plugged in including a tuner of course. While the "ingredients" are all right, I'll admit that after seeing 3 of them the build quality coming out of China is not great. All 3 had pretty obvious flaws from sloppy workmanship. But the price was right and I've grown to love it more and more despite the visible glue coming out of the bridge, and I can't even remember now what other things I found. Its a bit beat up, been dinged a couple times, the satin finish on the back of the neck is fully gloss as well as just beyond the pickguard where I anchor my fingers. It was the perfect guitar to transition from a very cheap laminate Yamaha as I became more interested in playing. I'd highly recommend a Fender acoustic.
I got my daughter the 10th Anniversary Hellcat and she absolutely loves it - Build quality on hers looked perfect - She played it at a local festival within hours of me giving it to her and it sounded fantastic- would definitely recommend it
As a through and through Taylor guy, the Fender Newporter is a great acoustic guitar in the price range. I was seriously blown away at how good it was/is and it is the best sounding and playing Fender acoustic I have played. Until I played that model, I thought all Fender acoustics sucked.
I have a Fender CC-140SCE and it’s an excellent playing and sounding guitar. The only thing I did was change the strings to Ernie Ball Earthwood light gauge.
I got the fender cd-60sce all mahogany and it plays great!....just changed the strings for elixirs & made it sound even better...next im gonna swap the nut & saddle for bone!..... My first choice was the yamaha fg850 mahogany but was out of my price range.....the cd-60sce was almost $300 AUD cheaper .....Im very happy with my purchase but i will upgrage in the future when i cant afford it!.....though the cd60s is a great guitar for beginners or even hobby/intermediates on a tight budget!
I love my Malibu and Hellcat. They don’t cost as much as most Martins and Taylors but leave off the headstock label and they sound and play great to me.
Solid top guitars do NOT improve with age if you live in a dry climate. The lack of humidity warps the wood. They also get out of tune much quicker. Laminated woods are much stronger and resistant to warping.
@Morgan Taylor Oates it’s okay. You understand things the rest of us NEVER will. Although I do enjoy being famous for sarcasm. I’m surprised I haven’t been punched
Great advice! When I started playing in the 60s there were almost no decent choices for budget guitars. In fact most were pure trash. Today it is amazing what you can get for $199 including playability and sound. Listen to this guy better yet visit their shop Casino Guitars, Southern Pines, NC, beautiful shop , HONEST knowledgeable people in a pretty little town.
I was recently shopping for my first solid wood acoustic, having a couple fender electrics I was interested in their acoustics. I tried the Paramount line and California line, but ultimately left with my first Godin guitar. The fenders played fine, but consistently sounded boxy compared to almost everything else around the price.
Rocky Racoon: ah one of the most overlooked companies, but they produce some of the best Acoustics money can buy. Guild is another one that gets overlooked sometimes, but i been fortunate enough to own one of each. both guitars i paid 500 for, but very good. the Acoustasonics are a little too expensive for Fender. there nice, i tried a few myself, but there not worth 1999 though. the Player Series verion felt like a 400 dollar Acoustic if im being honest, the American version felt like it was around 1000. only because of what it can do, but that's about as high id put it. anyway glad your enjoying your Godin.
Have a Fender CD-140SCE-12 WA Nat that i like and a Fender CN-140SCE Thinline that i don't like. The 12 string is great, but the classic nylon string CN-140SCE Thinline feels somehow like toy compared to my 1970s Kasuga G-312. Bought it, because i needed a replacement for my Kasuga due 50 years of fret wear and because i liked the 12 String CD-140SCE-12.
I have always hated Fender acoustics. I just added a Redondo to my collection. I was looking for something that could cut in a mix for recording. I also needed a very fast neck. This fit the bill perfectly. It is now hands down my favorite guitar despite being my cheapest and only imported guitar as well
80s fender F240a is a great acoustic, Izzy stradlin actually used one in 85,86 for a lot of live acoustic shows, also in the back cover of appetite for destruction
I’ve been playing electric for 9 months now but I wanted an acoustic. I got a fender acoustic and was wondering if I made the right decision. I got the first fender you were talking about.
I love fender electrics and im big into acoustics but to be honest I've never met a fender acoustic that impressed me. The low end models are adequate if thats your price point but you can find better players for the same money. Maybe its just not their speciality. But all that really matters is that you like it and it plays easy for you.
I recently bought Fender Redondo from their California series. I went for the limited All Mahogany version, which is one of the few models that's not painted, because for the love of anything holy I do not understand why they would paint solid wood guitars. But all that aside, I was genuinely surprised by the build quality, how great the action is, how well it stays in tune even with that weird strat headstock. That satin finish makes it very easy to slide up and down the neck, which imo is an improvement over the high-gloss finish on their CD-60. And slim C shape neck profile makes it feel like I'm playing my strat or tele - super comfortable for someone like me with relatively small hands. I love that it's solid wood body, cause it'll only get better with age. Would 100% recommend to anybody who's looking for an acoustic on a budget. EDIT: I just read my comment back, and realised I sound like an advert. Guess I was just really surprised by how decent it was.
Probably finding this video too late, but oh well, already have a Newporter ordered (Player, not Special, though... Don't have the extra $$$ for that). It's weird, because I played a Malibu oh, 20-25 years ago, and ever since then, I wanted one of my own. It was this nice aqua green kinda burst, and it played amazingly. The new Malibu - based on TH-cam videos, at least - sounds kinda terrible, by comparison. The Newporter sounded a lot closer to my memory. Hoping I don't regret my choice whenever it arrives, but I'm not that great a player anyhow, so not like it matters too much. I do love me that Fender headstock.
I could never justify an Acoustasonic. For that money or maybe a tad more, you could get a better sounding strat and a better sounding acoustic. It is only appropriate for fusion artists that must switch mid song.
Maybe try getting some extra light strings. If the actions too high the lower tension strings can bring down the height while also just generally feeling nicer on the hands
Wait I’ve been playing guitar little over two years now and right now I’m playing the cheapest Jackson makes and doing live shows and I’m not having fun?
So I have been playing for 8 years and I have been looking out for buying a new guitar (my current is full acoustic with custom bone nut and saddle ). I have been thinking of buying a new full acoustic but something with better wood quality vs my current one. I want to go for a matte finish instead of gloss this time. Couple of things. What guitar do you recommend and if I am unable to find the right model what shoud I look for when I buy one (my teacher recommended my current one)?
I have an Ovation baladeer that I bought in 1975. It sounded great them and sounds great now. It does have the typical Ovation problems the maple top shrinking a bit. 1n 1975 I was deciding between a Martin D28 or the ovation the Martin was almost $400 more. In love the Ovation but when I think of what the Martin would be worth now spending theatre dough would have been a great investment. But the Ovation still sounds great.
I have one, its not bad for the price point. Would I buy it again, probably not. I would save a few more hundred bucks to get a higher end acoustic. Just my opinion.
Michelle T. Delos Reyes that’s a pretty nice guitar in the fender line. Perhaps the paramount or even consider moving to a Taylor. The 100 series there is wonderful!
i bought a baby taylor and sounds better than these guitars. had it for years and dont even think twice about it. invest in a good guitar. dont listen to this guy.
don’t buy a fender 115. I wanted to learn and bought a new cheap $120. It was awful with imperfections. Really surprised a name like Fender would put their name on it. Paint missing on places, a repair on the back and worse of all razor sharp parts on the middle of a few frets. Sent it back next day and bought a $250 guitar.. so my advice is don’t buy a cheap guitar for your first one, spend a little more to get a better quality one..
Lots of buzz while you played that CC60. One should've been a damn fool to buy it (if it is really bad as presented here) when there are other options in "parlor/concert" size category, namely Harley Benton Traveler E mini and CLP15 ME (who even have good built-in electroacoustic pickups).
China = D Indonesia = C South Korea = B USA = A Guitar grades for any guitar made in these countries. Never forget, you "usually" get what you pay for.
I have a CC-60S, it sounds terrible, just plain terrible. I'd literally rather play entry level, laminate models from other brands than Fender's budget solid tops, even a random, unknown brand will do better than Fender. It's just terrible. Maybe I got a particularly bad unit, but that's the point. If you can't count on the brand name, then what's the point of having a brand?
@@voiduser0285 high end fenders are not that great if I were to rate then it would be 7/10 probably. They’re okay but nothing stands out to me playing a high end fender acoustic.
Fender has never made "good" acoustic guitars. Every time Fender comes out with a new line of acoustics, I try them out... and every time, they sound like a plastic box with strings on it. At ALL price points... If you only have $200 to spend on an acoustic, you're better off getting a Yamaha. Even their cheap stuff is good.
I second that. I have a Yamaha FG-830 which, for around $300, is mind boggling. I added a K&K Pure Mini (which I've seen in $5,000 custom guitars) and for $450 is almost impossible to beat.
Just want to say that is an error to say that Fender made this CC lime of guitars. They are made in Indonesia by any Asian company and rebranded. I have a cc60s and I really hope that it is a Cort 😀. Not the best guitar in the world but good Enough.
I just keep reminding myself how Fender acted when they owned Guild guitars They blew it royally They don’t have the mindset to make acoustic instruments Advice for Fender stick to making your slab guitars before someone gets hurt 🤮
fender acoustic is trash. if you're in that $199 range would be yamaha orangewood or anything else in that price range will blow it out of the water. avoid at all cost

I have a cc60s and I really hope that it is a Cort 😀. Not the best guitar in the world but good Enough.
I just keep reminding myself how Fender acted when they owned Guild guitars
They blew it royally
They don’t have the mindset to make acoustic instruments
Advice for Fender stick to making your slab guitars before someone gets hurt 🤮
fender acoustic is trash. if you're in that $199 range would be yamaha orangewood or anything else in that price range will blow it out of the water. avoid at all cost
Everything is okay on them, they just don't project very well.. even the high end ones. Don't understand why they can't get that part down..
No none of them they are all crap might as well buy an epiphone..... If you're gonna buy a guitar that's worth absolutely nothing in a year or 2
