Overview

Players wanting a dressed up stage acoustic get Fender's auditorium cutaway, with a flame maple top, lacewood back and sides and tortoiseshell binding. Fishman Presys II electronics give a clear, natural tone when plugged in.

Looks and plug-in readiness make the case, with an easy playing neck and a cutaway for higher frets. All-laminate wood holds up to travel and humidity swings. Unplugged tone is less rich than with an all-wood top.

Who it's for

Gigging players and intermediate guitarists who mostly play plugged in. Players focused on unplugged recording may prefer an all-wood top.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Flame maple looks
  • Cutaway for upper frets
  • Durable laminate build
  • Easy playing Viking bridge
Cons
  • Warranty listed two ways
  • Laminate top limits richness
  • No case listed

Performance notes

Laminate tops vibrate less freely than all-wood tops, so unplugged tone is tighter, but they resist cracking. The Fishman system handles amplified tone and tone shaping. An auditorium body balances volume and comfort.
