E-minor7 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Sounds not muddy, but kind of not bright - like it had silk'n'steel strings. I actually like it - the looks too. Have to check the next. The honey burst Newporter. Has a similar flavor to it. Has the team succeeded in finding an F-sound. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duluthdan Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Sounds pretty good! But I have to close my eyes - don't like the body shape all that much - but it does sound good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I must say, that guy is a pretty good guitarist, no? What surprises me is that it seems within Fender Corp., that GUILD and Guild custom shop, would be in direst competition with the Fender custom shop???? Does that seem strange to anyone else out there in Forum-land???? Also, check out the prices of the Guild and Fender customs......they are pretty high to compete with Gibson and Martin, if that is their real competition. It's interesting to see Ren's hand in the mix, though. Looks like he is having some fun, not constrained by tradition and limited body styles of one company. I'll keep my eyes open for some of these guitars when they become super-discounted because no-one is buying them!!!....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vacamartin Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Nice acoustic. I saw some of the pricing..............ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I like the looks but to me this is a prime example of why I generally dont like rosewood. Sounds good with new strings but give it a week and it will sound muddy, little to midrange and generally uninspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hall Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Thanks, J.C. I really wanted to see and hear that one in action. It seems to be about what I had expected. Gonna listen some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerohead Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I was really hoping to not like it but unfortunately......I need to look at the price for that to happen now I guess!! Dammit Fender! Stop acting all crazy and give us Ren back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanstreak Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Nice guitar player....nice sounding guitar.......but did the Fender Strat guy place the strap button??? I was just wondering the same thing. Is it braced under there to handle the weight? Prob be ok, I bought my AJ-500R Epi used and the guy had just simply drilled a Phillips screw into about the same place. No problems so far.

Rich Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I think this guitar has walnut back and sides, not rosewood: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/TradOCust2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, mental note to avoid walnut made acoustic ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Guitar looks ok but the sound really sucked badly to be honest! The guitar is advertised by Fender to come with Fender® Dura-Tone® 80/20 Phosphor Bronze (.012-.052 Gauge) strings. Seems hard to tell what the guitar's sound is alike if not knowing this particular string set, or what else string brand and gauge was used, what the settings of the sound controls were, and after all I still don't know why they tuned it 1/2 note flat. I think that the transduced tone is OK, and there is next to no audible low frequency noise from the player's hands. It is another thing if the provided features justify the price, but I think they will sell the 15 items made without problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR GIBS Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Nice guitar, sounds almost good to me. Ugly headstock... Could try to play, but will not keep this thing, even if someone gives it to me as a present. For these prices I prefere Gibsons. Martins too.
