Fender Sonoran SCE - any good

[vaquero]

Hi all,

I'm between beginner and intermediate, and thinking of changing my clunking aria dreadnought to something a bit 'easier' to play. Its got too high an action, and would rather put the cost of lowering it towards a new one.

I've seen some good write ups of the Fender Californian Series Sonoran SCE.

It seems its got a thinner (electric style) neck, and generally plays more like an electric.

has anyone got one? Haven't been able to track any down in the guitar shops in central London.

Any comments, or alternatives welcome!

thanks

Nick

I've never heard a Fender acoustic I've liked ...the budget ones are particularly crappy imo. You'd be better off going for a Vintage or Crafter acoustic for that sort of money...both well made and excellent value for money.

Cheers for the feedback, man - will have a look at both of those

nah, go and try one anyway, the sonorans (esp. the custom colors) look very cool, no idea if theyre any good or not as ive not yet played one but give one a go!


ps, most of the fender acoustics ive played over the last couple of years have surprised me in a good way

definitely going to try it - who wouldn't want a guitar in candy apple red...

(don't all shout at once)

having trouble finding one to try tho - have tried the shops in around Denmark St in London, and no luck

i was thinking of getting a lake placid or an inca silver one but i just bought a taylor 214 (arrived two hours ago!) as it was on offer, its fantabulous but the fender just LOOKS so much cooler lol!

1. Buy can of silver spray paint

2. Apple to Taylor 214

3. Stand back and admire your Inca Silver Taylor 214
