I just saw an ad from a Reverb dealer having a sale on new Fender acoustic guitars. They are mostly very low priced. A few almost look like Guild imports. It got me wondering if anyone has seen or tried any of these?
I remember that when Fender acquired Guild there was talk of Fender finally possibly having a much sought after presence in the acoustic guitar market. Something they struggled with for years. Having owned Guild for several years you would think they became more aware of manufacturing techniques, etc. Or maybe they would just abandon that segment and focus on electrics. The acoustasonic segment reminds me of Guild past with the Songbird, Gx, etc. Especially since they seem to be regarded as quality instruments.
