Fender FA-25 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar, Beginner Guitar, with 2-Year Warranty, Includes Free Lessons, Sunburst

I do a lot of reviews for budget guitars, and decided it was about time to purchase one for my personal collection of guitars that I play. I was shocked to see a Fender at low budget prices. Thinking something was up, I placed my order thinking I would be getting a budget quality disaster to review on YouTube.When I received the guitar, I was pleasantly surprised. I gave it a quick tune and was immediately impressed. I gave it the setup runthrough. All of the frets were nice and smooth, shiny, and most importantly... level. The neck needed a minor adjustment, which is normal with acoustic guitars that have been shipped. There was really no set up to do. The build was nicely intonated, the tuners were holding the guitar in tune, and it had a very rich tone.I did change out of the factory strings and put on some Phosphor Bronze Earthwood strings and this guitar sounded amazing. So much so, that it replaced the Martin D-28 that sat on the stand next to me in my office as my "go to" guitar. This in not a purchase that you will regret.

The guitar is good size strings are nice cheap easy to carry strings feel good to play not to heavy build is nice feels sturdy it’s a good guitar I recommend

This guitar is very good quality for the price! It is bigger than I expected but the acoustics sounds beautiful (I got the dreadnought). This was perfect for a beginner like me! It looks exactly as it’s advertised and I love it! I assumed that there would be free lessons involved as advertised but it just leads you to the Fender’s website to subscribe with additional fees. The guitar stand is extremely convenient and I recommend you to keep the guitar on your stand where you can see it regularly instead of placing it in the cover that’s included. That way, it motivates you to pick it up at least once a day for five minutes. I’ve improved on my finger placement and strumming pattern since I’ve bought it. The tuner is pretty accurate since I compared it with a tuning app which makes it convenient to bring this guitar anywhere and tune it whenever. Also, if you’re completely a beginner, a great tip to know is that your guitar actually needs to be tuned quite often due to the friction of the strumming or holding your fingers down to produce the right chords. Realistically I would give this a 4.5 stars only because of the advertised lessons that I assumed would be part of the purchase not separate.

Fairly reasonable price (especially for everything it comes with), but it seems like no matter how much I tune it I can’t seem to get to the standard scale. This may however be user error. It does sit very nicely on my knee and is very easy to play without a strap.

Best value guitar you'll find, its really good quality for price, plays extremely well, would recommend, might not be the cheapest out there but its the cheapest high quality guitar you'll find. It looks good, plays good and overall is good.

sounds good and easy for beginners like me. definitely have to get used to pressing hard on the strings since its acoustic but its a good size and looks goodi did break the high e string the first couple hours after getting from tuning tho so be careful seriously it kinda hurted

Great beginners guitar with a great price. My 13 year old son wanted to start guitar lessons, this was the guitar we chose. He has been doing great and even his guitar teacher said it was a perfect guitar for him to learn on.

Great beginner guitar, it lives up to the fender brand. Sounds great for the price too.Highly recommend for beginner to intermediate players
