These guitars sound good, and for sub £300 you can’t go wrong really.. also, as an aside, you seem to really be coming into your own here on andertons Ben! I look forward to Acoustic Paradiso every week
Great job at making it sound good, but every Fender acoustic I've played has been tough to play in comparison to others at the price point. I love my strat, but wouldn't own one of these.
They're hit and miss. I own one scroll topped headstock 321 from around 2005 and every Fender acoustic I've played before/after sounds dead. Each one has something missing from it's output and that's from the same model. It's my best acoustic and just luck to come across it when I was dead set on leaving with a Martin.
It’s such a varied and vastly produced range that you just have to hope you get a good one with the one you purchase. I got a Fender CD-60 all mahogany and it’s absolutely amazing given that it cost less than £200!
They all sound good. The first better than the rest for me. But then again with Ben playing everything sounds good!!! Even a wooden stick with rope strings I bet!!!
Well done! Thank you! Much gratitude Ben for this review I was curious how they sound. While I'm accustomed to seeing Pete and or Captain doing acoustic reviews, I have grown quite fond of this gentleman whose name I will surely commit to memory following this video.
My wife and I have a couple of Fender acoustics. 6 and 12 string. Both are great for parties and BBQ's and such. Hate to drag out the expensive stuff when kids are banging on and friends and neighbors have had a few ... They are good all around guitars. And we go all the way back to the Villager steel pipe 12 string days. Glad that one is now just collectable :D
Great presentation and playing, thank you! I purchased the Sunburst Redondo Player very recently. It has a really playable neck, quality Fishman pickup, and is beautiful to look at as well! From a timbrel standpoint, the Redondo Player is brighter than my Yamaha FG800. Using a .73 pick gives a nice, balanced, rounder tone, where a .60 really brings out that jangly quality. Fingerstyle (in my case without nails) it's mellow with a touch of brightness. This is my second Fender acoustic (also have the Tim Armstrong Hellcat). I never thought I would even consider Fender acoustics and I've been really pleased with them especially at the price point!
Great to have Acoustic Paradiso back! Any chance of a video comparing some more affordable all solid wood guitars (e.g. Faith, Epiphone Masterbilt, Fender Paramount etc.) versus more premium laminated back and sides models (Taylor, Martin etc.) that are around the same price? Looking to upgrade from my first acoustic!
Ordered a Bass from Andertons (Epic deal) 3 weeks ago that was due in stock following day. Checked back every day since and date kept being pushed to following day. Just now received email that they do not know when they will have the Bass in stock - no time frame at all! And what's really worrying is the bass is no longer on the website. Cool videos, terrible customer service.
It's weird to see those acoustic electric guitars have a Fender Stratocaster-esqe headstock, but I guess it's to make it fancy for some people. I had a friend that has one of those guitars back then because he really liked the design of it.
@andertons music co have you noticed any sound differences in the malibu that is aqua splash, and the new natural color you played in this video, due to thickness of paint of the aqua blue and probably just a gloss on the spruce of the natural? Considering purchasing and wanted to know if thats a factor to think about. Its so hard to make purchases now when you cant go to stores and you have to recon everything 😆
@@voltagevillain7342 That's probably true. They also have a better string angle. I just don't like the look of them on non-strats. I am old - I'm a traditionalist.
Ukulele Angela yes and they have one without the electronics. I do like aqua quite a bit. I have the Elvis Presley Kingman Fender made for a year in beechwood. It’s great.
It's a Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas SD1. Unfortunately the finish has been discontinued but you can find more Charvel models similar here: www.andertons.co.uk/brands/charvel/style-1-guitars?#facet:&productBeginIndex:0&facetLimit:&orderBy:&pageView:grid&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:& Hope that helps!
Is the Malibu Player size considered a 3/4 or is it bigger than 3/4 size but smaller than Dreadnought ? I would like to buy a guitar that`s a bit smaller than those big dreadnaughts, though I think a jr or 3/4 might be a bit too small ? ty !
was wondering if ben has his own channel, would be interesting to learn about his playing style with a thumb pick, saw his playing ordered some but am absolutely useless with em
@@Lalairu I checked fender, crafter (I have a crafter dreadnought that's amazing) and listened to Harley bentons, they were all crap. I'll go check them. Thanks
They all sound good. The first better than the rest for me. But then again with Ben playing everything sounds good!!! Even a wooden stick with rope strings I bet!!!
