Fender Review: DG-8S

History: I've been playing for about 2 years

Purchase: I bought this at my local GC because it had everything you need to get serious and also had a good reputation. I played it for a while and ended up buying it thinking I was getting a great deal. At the time I was not fully aware of how much nicer guitars get as you climb the price range.

What I Like About This Fender DG-8S: The first great thing is the value. If you can only spend $200 and want to get everything you need as well as a cool guitar, by all means buy this one. It's a very nice looking guitar that sounds and plays above its price.

What I Do NOT Like About The Fender DG-8S: This guitar is very mediocre. The first one i bought was defective. The second one i got gave me more problems. Friends of mine who play all told me it had fret buzz problems. The strap button (theres only 1 to begin with) came loose. The guitar allows the bridge pins to go into the holes way too far. The dvd is garbage. If you can find it in yourself to spend another 200 bucks on an Ibanez i reccomend it.

Fender DG-8S Quality Rating: Solid Top, well put together. DINGS EASILY

Review Summary: do not let my negativity discourage those of you who are set on a 200 dollar price range. for that price this is absolutely amazing, but if you can spend twice as much, do it.

Rating of this Fender product: 3
