Fender has several reasonably priced guitars that have a classic appearance. Though available singly, many beginner guitars are also sold in “player packs” that include an amp, cables, picks, and other accessories. Fender Acoustic’s Paramount line caters to individuals who want a higher level of refinement and a solid wood body.

FAQS

Great guitarists like Buddy Miller, Tim Armstrong, etc., have used and continue to use Fender acoustic guitars. Legendary acoustic performers, however, often avoid them in favor of older models like Martins, Taylors, and Gibsons.
Which one is better for acoustic guitars, Fender or Yamaha?
Yamaha’s acoustic guitars offer more options, and the Tonewoods they employ are superior to those of any other brand, in my opinion. On the other side, when it comes to hybrid acoustic-electric instruments, Fender is unrivaled.
