Fender PD-220E Dreadnought Review

Finally a good Fender acoustic

Though I have played Fender acoustics in the past, I have always thought they were much below average. This solid wood beauty dispels that myth. Sunburst is awesome and the guitar sounds great. And not just for the money. This was my first purchase from Sweetwater. They let you pick the guitar you want and then totally check it out. James is a very knowledgeable and helpful rep.… read more Also, the case is very high quality. The fender phos. bronze strings sound good but are pretty squeaky.

First few hours with it.....

So far so good. The specs and price were what drew me to this guitar. And of course the beautiful sunburst. After waiting 24 hours to open after receiving it, I was impressed with the build quality and the finish. A very nice even tone. You can hear every single string when strumming. The action is spot-on. In other words, it's very comfortable and low. The neck feels familiar… read more if that makes sense. Kind of like you've already owned this guitar for quite some time. The resonance is what impressed me the most. Strum a chord and it rings for a long time then slowly fades after about nine seconds. I will post another review after I've lived with it for a few weeks. I haven't plugged it up yet but I'm very familiar with Fishman electronics and they have always delivered after you dial them in. This guitar truly oozes quality. I'm hoping this will become a friend for many years.

Great Fender Acoustic Guitar

So this guitar started popping up in Sweetwater ads on my phone. I wasn't really thinking about buying a new guitar as I have several acoustics already, but something about the vintage look caught my eye. I contacted my Salesman, Dave Brow and asked about these new guitars. He gave me some positive feedback on the Paramount line of Fender acoustics. I asked Dave to contact me… read more when the guitar came in and he did of course. I went in to Sweetwater, fortunate to live in Fort Wayne where Sweetwater is located, and tried the guitar. It is awesome and I bought it on the spot. Great look, great sound, and wonderful detail work and quality. I am very happy with the purchase and love playing the Fender. If you think the internet service is great, you should make a trip and visit Sweetwater in person. Dave Brow, Greg Baum from the store, and the Customer Service folks that helped with my purchase are all fantastic.
