Comfy Concert-sized Acoustic-Electric
Before this, I've never owned a concert-sized acoustic guitar. The Fender FA-235E acoustic-electric guitar fits comfortably in my hands and for it's easy to play. Although it's been said that this guitar is more appropriate for finger-style playing, it is also good for practicing your sing-and-strum songs, or even gigging bars and coffee shops with them! And finally, the laurel fingerboard may not be rosewood, but it still feels nice on my fingertips. Would recommend this to anyone who wants a smaller-sized guitar they can just trot around. :)

A perfect guitar for live performances
I used this beautiful guitar for live concerts with full band and just acoustic concerts as well. It has a concert shape which helps a lot when you need to travel. The electronics inside work very well and I never disappointed me. Also this guitar has a bright sound which I really like.
