Are Fender The MOST UNDERRATED Acoustic Brand? | Fender Paramount 2022 

My first new electric was a fender. My first new acoustic was a fender, a Hot Rod acoustic or whatever in 2010. I still have it and I've played it to death. No issues at all. All original hardware. Except a bridge pin and I took the electronics out lol Great guitar. Just purchased one of these as well. Can't wait to get it in

So happy to finally see someone talk about this. For me personally, I find it criminal and extremely infuriating when I see the amount of hate towards Fender acoustics. You'd think they were the same quality as a cheap £30 Amazon guitar given the amount of abuse they get from the entire guitar community. Well I happen to have a Fender FA-235E and a Fender Newporter and I love them both so much! In fact, in order to get my Newporter, I exchanged it for my 'much better branded' guitar, one of the top names because I just couldn't get on with it. And when I picked up the Newporter it just sounded and felt so right. So perfect in my hands. I swear by them and would happily recommend them to anyone. I'm not saying that they're better than the top brands on the market. Just that they don't deserve the heavy criticism they always get. The Fender acoustics felt right for me. So the best thing you can do is not to base your choice of guitar on brand alone. Take it into account but don't use it as the only thing to help you make your decision. Try a few guitars, regardless of brand names and explore which one feels right for you when it's in your hands and when you play it. Great video by the way and have liked and subscribed to your channel. Keep the great content coming 👌.

Awesome vid guys! ❤️👏

The new line of Fender acoustic /electrics are awesome guitars.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

These new fender acoustic guitars are great value for money! look beautiful and sound great.

These look good but Alvarez and Art and Lutherie are around the same price point and make excellent instruments

I took up Acoustic Guitar September 2023. I play piano and Saxophone. From the sales people in Absolute Music Bournemouth. The price had been drop of the whole paramount range from about £700 to £399. I loved the fact that they were all made of solid wood. The parlor I did not appreciate the difference in the size of the body bulges. Reminds me of a female with a big rear. I like my females tall and slender. The dreadnought for my use at home is too big. I chose the OS model. Considered the tone was a little bland and flat. Hence I fitted Phosphorus Bronze silk wrapped medium to light strings and the Paramount OS turned into the guitar I wanted. I would recommend Absolute Music Bournemouth to anyone wishing to purchase a guitar their staff are so accommodating.

So I have a cd60 dreadnought. Bought it almost 6 years ago. I think it’s the cheapest proper fender acoustic, I don’t know if there is any solid wood to be honest. Plays like a dream. Sounds very nice to me, it’s my absolute campfire/busking workhorse. Now I should say, it’s a v2. I’ve seen an exact same one just v3 in a store, wouldn’t have given half the v2 money for it. So that being said I’d really like to try out these ones, they look amazing and could be a very nice step up. Cheers!

would like to try one back to back with an eppiphone master built J45

After watching this and several other reviews I decided to buy one. Bezo had the Fender Paramount PS-220E for $490.10

I own a Paramount PM-3 Standard and it is a really decent instrument for the price. Where else do you get an all solid 000 Guitar w/ on-board electronics and a hardshell case for under 600 €? As to other models in the lower price range (CD-60 and Sonoran Mini that I once bought) I can't say anything negative about the build quality. Although in the budget range (100 - 150 €) they were both of amazing quality even regarding the fret work which is often the weak spot of cheap guitars. So yes, they are definitely underrated in their price segment.

What happened was they had a terrible reputation in the 90s for offering all laminate entry level acoustics. I started on one and it was just pretty bad but we didn’t have the options we have today. It’s hard to overcome that stigma.

Where does the battery go?

A fender veio com a faca nos dentes...to muito feliz por essa nova gama de violōes da Fender! ja vou comprar um PD 220E e nem preciso vender um rim pra pagar!kkkkkk

Dude, Fender should hire you for marketing!!!!! A lot of puff in here but a lot of fact that gets overlooked about the history of Fender acoustics. As an acoustic player of over 35 years, I find that gear snobbery is no more prevelant than in the acoustic guitar world. For the 1st 15 years, I was as guilty if not more so than most. My advice, learn your craft and you will make a €100 guitar sound awesome! I'm about to pull the trigger on the dreadnought. Thanks for the review.

se tivesse uma boa distribuidora aqui no Brasil, que desse mais atenção aos artistas e colocar nos palcos sertanejos entraria na briga!

They're beautiful guitars, but I find they don't "ring" enough... trouble getting sustain

I think you should stop to make video with this pickup who do not capture at all the bass sound. The ftequense range are always too hight. All your video are missing the real bass sound of the guitars you tested. Better to take a better condensate mic i think. It's just an abservation between the others video where they test acoustics guitars... Come on you can do better you are very good player it's a pity to register such a very small sound with this too short mic . 👍😉

Badge snobbery is blind, use your ears ........

There's no underrating at all. For every Fender guitar that sounds good, there'll at least two crappy ones to cancel it

Could I put my wife in as a part exchange for the dreadnought?

Whyyy those ugly pickguards?😖

No. They actually may be overrated.

Why can’t Fender make a guitar that sounds like a Gibson..a Martin or a Taylor. The guitar sounds attenuated..no 🎉base response. Don’t get it…..don’t their designers hear these guitars…mentioned above…yet they keep putting out these mediocre acoustics🙄.

Most garbage brand most likely. just received the po-220e mahogany. Its cheap chinese trash like you would expect. Intonation is flat which is weird. Action was at 6/64ths which is ok for me, but the low e buzzes on 2nd and 3rd frets. The frets literally need to be leveled out the box. I saw an amazon review state this but didn't believe it. My 20 year old Martin DX1 has more leveled frets(except high frets on the body). And it doesn't even play any easier than it does. now I have to pay shipping fees to send it back and they might charge a restocking fee? Doesn't even sound like mahogany and smells like chemicals. It has unsanded sides and rough edges, even on the back. even the strap peg is on top of plastic with messy edges just makes the whole thing feel like garbage and I don't know what I was thinking . This video really sold me lmao...
