Good guitar for 120 just buy it
Sounds as good as some of my higher end guitars I like the tuner and preamp fit and finish was not bad. Good value for the money I have been plying over 20 years I like it to have just laying around don’t have to worry if it gets bumped or something. I did have to adjust the action a little but it comes with an Allen wrench and any YouTube video will show you how to do it or take it to your local guitar shop. For a tune and adjusting It was well packed in. A good box they even give you a 1/4 instrument cabe. Sounds good plugged in. I am happy it’s a great guitar for the casual player or to get a student to learn to play and if they don’t care for it you are not out a lot of money. They also have a standard dreadnought style for 100 bucks up here but it’s worth the extra 20 to get a pre amp and tuner built in. Most of the beginner. Guitars I have seen at stores are over 200 or more so it’s a great deal. Pick up a stand and a bag and you are good to go. Has great bracing and yes it’s Made in the factory at china but what is not nowadays get it play it have fun and upgrade later. If I saw a kid come up to my after playing it and was excited about music I could just hand it to them and say it’s yours have fun !!!!!

Great for the price
The media could not be loaded. This is a nice guitar. If you can get it when it goes on sale for $100, all the better, but $120 is about the upper limit of what I would pay for it due to the laminate construction. It's constructed well, but it's never going to sound like or have the same resonance as, say, a 100% mahogany acoustic guitar. Anyhow, the tuner and preamp function works great. I am not playing it through an "acoustic-minded" amp in the video (Blackstar Debut 10E), but it still sounds clear. I'm primarily an electric guitar player so I was happy to get this guitar cheap. I use it for quickly sketching out song ideas without having to get plugged in. If you're primarily an acoustic guitar player I'd recommend you spend a bit more on a guitar that isn't made from laminate, but this is a good beater for campfire play and such.

Amazing guitar!
Okay this guitar isn’t like a Martin to compare but it’s amazing for what it is; it has and echoing sound and when used in fingerpicking style it sounds like you’re playing with four hands two different sets of tunes! I love the sound, I got it thinking i’d end up returning it, but no! I kept it. Amazing! It plays well, great for beginners, looks good and has a satin/matte finish; love the built in tuner which is one of the great accessories!

Decent value, no issues out of the box.
I like the guitar, it's good, not great. I would say it's good for the cost. You can definitely get a better guitar for a few hundred dollars more, but if you're looking for a sub $200 acoustic electric with built-in tuner, you can't beat this.I didn't have any issues with it out of the box, it was even set up almost perfectly. I don't know if I just got really lucky with QA, or if most of them will be really good out of the box, for the price I'd say it's worth the shot.The only odd thing is the model number, it says, FA-Series model FA-25CE. Fender makes a 125CE model, this is very similar except for the headstock is slimmer. I can't find any info about a 25CE, only the 125.All in all I like it, it sounds decent, the tuner is nice, plugged in it sounds okay, I definitely recommend a nicer guitar for more money, but again you can't beat this value.I would say it's worth it for a beginner or a child who's interested, but you will most definitely be upgrading if you get serious about playing guitar.I only give it 4 out of 5 stars because it's not "perfect". Physically it's decent, it doesn't feel great, but it's not bad by any means. It definitely sounds like a sub $200 acoustic, but that's not really a bad thing for a beginner or someone what wants a beater acoustic.

Fender FA 25ec. Great guitar, even a used one.
This is a great guitar! Yes it's an entry level acoustic but you wouldn't know it to play it. I just got the Fender FA 25 CE. Full size guitar. Built in pick-up, volume, tone and tuner. I did lower the action today but it played beautifully right out of the box. Oh, I got a used one from Amazon. Mint condition. Flawless. Worth every penny.

Just The Guitar No Extras
I am a beginner. The sound is beautiful to my ear, easy to tune. It was not far off right out of the box. Do not know if the action is good or not. It is beautiful. I am having no trouble learning on this guitar; very happy.

Great value!
I was a professional general business drummer and bass player for years.. played hundreds of weddings/night clubs for years. Also played in many jazz bands over the years... my father was a fender dealer back in the 70's.. I recently retired from my full time software engineering job after 30 years.. never owned a 6 string guitar and wanted one.. I've always known the fender name and I currently own a fender jazz bass.Saw this acoustic on prime day for $118.. I grabbed one to bang around on.. totally impressed! No dead frets.. stays in tune surprisingly well! Neck action is pretty good right out of the box..Great fit/finish for a $100 guitar. Don't expect a the quality of a $3500 Martin... it's a $100!!!!

Nice knock around guitar.
Seems to play really nicely for a low end acoustic. I'm no pro, but I've played on and off for the last 20 years. The neck feels good and the action is pretty good. The built in Digi tuner is crap though. Pretty lightweight, but feels sturdy. I like the matte finish on the body.
