Overview
A living room practice spot or a small stage suits this Fender thinline nylon string, which pairs a fan braced cedar top with ovangkol back and sides. A cutaway opens the upper frets, and Fishman electronics take it to an amp.
Steel string comfort with nylon tone is the case: the neck profile and spacing feel like a regular Fender acoustic. Traditional classical players will find the neck slimmer than they expect.
Who it's for
Players moving from steel strings or electric who want warm nylon tone on stage. Formal classical students should choose a traditional classical guitar.
Pros and cons
- Familiar steel-string spacing
- Thin body is comfortable
- Cutaway for upper frets
- Fishman pickup and preamp
- Not a traditional classical neck
- Less unplugged volume from thin body
- Back wood listed inconsistently
Performance notes
Tone starts at the cedar top with fan bracing, which gives a warm and mellow voice. The thinline body reduces feedback when amplified, and the Fishman preamp shapes the plugged in sound.
