Overview

Not a bare acoustic, this Fender Alternative series dreadnought adds a cutaway for upper fret access and onboard electronics with a built-in tuner. It has a C-shape neck, walnut fingerboard, sealed-gear tuning machines and a satin finish.

A beginner gets a plug-in guitar with lessons, a tuner and cable bundled in one package. Binding on the body and neck adds durability, and the walnut bridge is chosen for tone. The limitation is the all-laminate construction, which favors toughness over the depth of thin wood.

Who it's for

New players who want to practice unplugged and plug in later, with a lessons subscription to start. Players who prefer thin-wood tonality or need a left-handed model should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Cutaway for upper fret access
  • Built-in tuner with volume and tone controls
  • Online lessons subscription included
  • Amplification cable included
Cons
  • Cable length not listed

Performance notes

Onboard volume and tone controls let the player set the amplified sound without an outboard unit. The all-laminate body resists damage better than thin wood, and binding on the body and neck helps the same way. Sealed-gear tuning machines keep pitch accuracy easy for beginners.
