Yeah, it has always been 299 to 349 range. Played one once. Not bad for a Fender acoustic, kind of how some 100 guitars still play and sound OK. but with acoustics I really do think the quality of the wood and preamp/pickup both make a huge difference, whereas on an electric you can change all of that shit out for less than a hand job from Chico. Not so easy on an acoustic. In other words, decent low level acoustic electric that has a cool look to it and sounds "ok" plugged in. Sounded worse than my $179 Great Divide backup acoustic and tons worse than my $800 Takamine main acoustic.

But I have always been a bit biased against Fender acoustics. I have never heard one live that sounded good plugged in and I have run sound for probably 100 people playing Fender acoustics at different jams, etc and they always sound thin unless the owner had modded them or spent alot of $ getting them professionally set up and adjusted.

How does this joker end up getting, 1 let alone 2 signature models? Rancid weren't even that big. He must know somebody. It's just odd.

I agree. I've never been a fan of fender acoustics.

I never played THIS model but I've played enough Fender Acoustics to believe and agree with everything Mickie said
