The natural-finish FA-125CE is an approachable dreadnought acoustic-electric that delivers more than you'd expect at its price. The spruce top gives it clear, projecting tone with enough warmth to work for strumming chords and picking melodies. The natural finish lets the wood grain show through and gives it a classic acoustic guitar aesthetic.

The walnut fingerboard plays comfortably, and the scalloped X-bracing allows the top to breathe more freely than a typical entry-level instrument. Built-in electronics for plugging into a PA. If you're buying your first acoustic-electric or looking for an affordable second guitar to keep at home or take to campfires, the FA-125CE hits a strong value proposition without making you feel like you're compromising.
