This review is from: Fender FA135CE Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

I received the Fender FA135CE guitar today and ran it through its paces.
I must say it's pretty darn good!

The strings are decent quality, came wrapped and not rusty, appear to be 11s
It came with a 9V battery (batteries included are always nice!) a patch chord and truss wrench.
After I gave it a look over, I tuned it, plugged in the battery and tested the tuner, it works perfectly.
The electronics sound clear and bright, the finish and construction is very good.
Only one small blemish where the neck joins the body, hardly noticeable.
This is a good looking guitar for beginner to intermediate-advanced players.
Probably not at the professional level.

ADDITION- two weeks later.
This guitar sounds like a toy acoustically. I will change the strings to see if that helps.
It does sond good plugged into an amp though.
