Fender is one of the most renowned guitar makers in the world. The fender fa115 dreadnought acoustic guitar is a great entry level guitar for anyone looking to start their career on a serious note. It comes bundled with everything you need including strings, tuner, picks and a case with lock and key for safe keeping. If you’re not a total beginner guitarist and have a higher budget, you might be interested in the best acoustic guitars under 500 instead.

The deep dreadnought design coupled with the spruce top gives this guitar very good dynamic range and superior projection. The guitar is also very responsive to any style of playing from strumming to fast flatpicking. If you’re a fan of this design, you can also find the same thing on the guitar in our Fender CD60S review.

The back and sides are laminated brasswood and the neck is nato just like the guitalele we feature in the Yamaha GL1 review. The Fender FA115 dreadnought acoustic guitar produces defined sounds in the mid to upper ranges but doesn’t disappoint when you go low either.

Tuning is easy with the fender clip-on tuner that works on vibrations. You can therefore easily tune your guitar even in noisy places. This is the perfect guitar for any beginner looking for something they can learn with. It handles well, the spruce top is durable and versatile and sound projection is decent for the price. Those who like the spruce top and rosewood features but are looking for a luxury option with amazing sound quality should also check out the Martin OM 42 review.
