”Sturdy, Cheap Guitar That Plays Great”

The Fender DG60 Acoustic Guitar is an interesting mix; you get a dreadnought style guitar, whose size and shape calls for the big, deep sound that is a signature trait of the dreadnought. Yet the laminated spruce top plus the laminated mahogany sides combine to create a very bright tone whose notes are so clear that they are almost strident. Looking for a sturdy, inexpensive, all-laminate guitar for travelling gigs? This is the perfect guitar!

This almost over-bright tone can be tempered a bit if you use the DG60 for fingerstyle playing, and the polyurethane glass finish makes this a very sleek look that is very attractive both on and off stage. At just ~$159 the DG60 comes at a price that is very attractive indeed.

You can compare the DG60 with the guitar that comes with the Epiphone AJ-220ST Solid Top Acoustic Guitar Pack. While the AJ-220ST is an Advanced Jumbo, you do get a solid top acoustic guitar (as well as a built-in tuner and a wall hanger to display your instrument) that has a deeper, more full-bodied sound for about $40 more. With the DG60, however, you get the Fender name and an instrument that will look as good on your wall as it sounds as you play.
