My second guitar was this Fender acoustic I purchased new, I was 16. After playing the bass for awhile I wanted to try my hand with a six string guitar. I found this one hanging at a local music store and the price was right so I bought and brought it home.
I first thing I noticed when the guitar got home was how easy this thing was to play. This was going to a great instrument to learn on, this was a good buy I though to myself. The only thing that gave me any difficulty while learning to play the guitar was playing with a pick. I just couldn't get the hang of it. I never played bass with a pick. I always used my thumb, index and middle finger. So this is how I learned to played the six string.
The F-65 has a very thin neck and the action is almost like an electric. Anything I can play on an electric I can play on this acoustic. The neck, I believe is rosewood and has mother-of-pearl inlays on 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th, 15th and 17th frets. The tone is rich sounding and the brightness of the sound is amazing. The sound has matured with age and gotten even better. The F-65 has never disappointed me with anything I wanted to play.
This is another guitar I will always have in my collection.
I have this same model. It really is a fantastic guitar. Mine was given to me as a high-school graduation gift from my mother, who had owned the guitar since her own college days. It's such a beautiful guitar, and it has so much meaning to me.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great story how you got the guitar. It sounds like you will be picking on your Fender for years to come.
