Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Fender's FA-235E is a right-handed concert acoustic-electric built around a laminated flame maple top, laminated mahogany back and sides, and a gloss Natural finish. Its concert body is smaller than a dreadnought, pairing clear, focused tone with robust projection. For amplified playing, the side-mounted Fishman system gives you volume, bass, and treble controls at the guitar. A mahogany neck, Indian laurel fingerboard, 20 frets, 25.3-inch scale, and 1.69-inch nut width define the playing layout, while Graph Tech TUSQ hardware is used for the nut and saddle.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Taking an acoustic guitar to amplified performances with onboard volume, bass, and treble control.
- Players seeking the FA-235E's concert body rather than Fender's larger dreadnought format.
- Steel-string playing on a mahogany neck with an Indian laurel fingerboard and 20 frets.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, because this model is specified as right handed.
- Players who specifically need a cutaway body, as this guitar has no cutaway.
