ok I love the way this thing looks
the orchestra bod and strat headstock are flipping sweet

3grand MSRP Seems steep though for a company with minimal acoustic heritage

I've never heard a fender acoustic that really wowed me, but thats just me, looks pretty cool though. It would be better if the headstock wood matched the body, at least on the surface.

I like the plain headstock, but that is from years of playing strats
just looks normal to me

I hear ya, ascetics are important to those who play it, different strokes and all that. Personally ive always been a fan of fender style headstocks on their electrics but im a sucker for the gibson/taylor/guild/gretsch etc big squarish headstocks especially on acoustics, but i still think a fender head stock is perfect for their body shapes.

even if you're getting that guitar at street price, you could still buy two or three Martin or Guild small-bodied all-mahogany guitars for the same amount of money, or a Larrivee or Eastman that totally demolishes it.

hot guitar, but 3 g's? fuck that. Get a Taylor, you won't be disappointed.

I love my alvarez artist
but this looked interesting

Now, I'm a fan of Fender Acoustics. Mainly because I love the Fender headstock design and their standard C shaped neck.

That being said, I'd never spend $3000 on a Fender Acoustic. I'll stick with the Fiesta Red Malibu I got for $100.

yeah I got an alvarez artist jumbo at a yardsale for 85 bucks last summer
still haven't found anything that plays better

I hate the way that style headstock looks on acoustic guitars.
There, I said it.
