Fender DG8S Review

History: Guitar. 47 years. First band was in 1963. I play Bluegrass Gospel now.

Purchase: Blue Moon Music, Fayettevile, Arkansas.

What I Like About This Fender DG8S: Tone. Playability. Projection. Price.

What I Do NOT Like About The Fender DG8S: Nothing.

Fender DG8S Quality Rating: It appears to me to be constructed about like an old Yamaha FG 100. The solid spruce top is the key. The back and sides are laminated. Probably Sapele.

Review Summary: For 150 bucks including tax, new strings and setup (very slightly used) I had to take it. I play it every night. I've had two Martins since '63, and believe it or not, I'm just as satisfied with this. It doesn't have a "butter" tone, nor does it sound like a Taylor, Bourgeois, Collings ..., but for the price it's perfect for me.

Rating of this Fender product: 5
