Fender DG-3 Acoustic

20 frets, starter kit..came with some other stuff(tuner, strings, bag, useless strap, etc)
I really dont know how to rank this category...its a pretty simlpe guitar...but i like it

I really like the way this guitar sounds and for the price....you cant beat it. I got this guitar for Christmas a year and a half ago as my first guitar and have been really happy with it. I also use a Seymour Duncan acoustic tube pick-up with it, and a peavy 15 watt keyboard/acoustic guitar amp. It sounds ok through it i guess, but i usually just play it unplugged. There is some occasional rattling but nothing major. As for the thing about the 13th and 14th frets being the same pitch...I do not have the problem, and I left it the way it was out of the box. I noticed someone else said that they had played guitars with a price tag of 3 times that of the DG-3 and still preferred the DG-3..all I can say to that is me too!

I left the guitar the way it came and am happy with it.As for the finish...its not bad, i mean come on...its a $200 guitar

The only things that bother me are the cheap tuning knobs, which really arent that bad, and the holes getting too big for the pegs, nothing a little piece of toilet paper cant fix.

Ive been playing for a year and a half..I also have a Les Paul Standard...and if money weren't an issue, I'd rather the Les Paul get stolen.... If you are looking for a good guitar to start on this is definately it. I doubt you could find a better sounding guitar for this price.(new)

20 fret acoustic, not much I can say about that

This thing sounds allright. It is very bright sounding when you use a pick. But what really suscks is that on the 13th fret the strings vibrate against the 14th fret. the pitch is just like the 14th fret. It produces this horrible sound with no sustain and it sounds like its vibrating against metal, like it is.

The action is too low to play slide guitar on. Its Finsh is allright.

Ive played live with this once. I wax all by myself and sitting down. I would stand up but nack then it only had one strap button (Now it has none, I took one out to put in my electric). I guesse i can depend on it

I dont know.

I played an ovation earlier today and it rocked!

Bought Christmas 1996 6 string acoustic, laminated, Chinese made Gig bag, Fender strap, Seiko Tuner, Peg put on other end of body to make strap less awkward. Guitar was 110 UK pounds, I got the lot above for 150.
They're now available in blue and black as well as the natural wood I had and they're great value.

Great sound for the price, many 'experienced' guitar players couldn't believe how little I'd paid for it. Sounds good gently strumming basic chords or really meaty barred ones. Mmmm, nice. Really pleased with it

Finish is nice, action was good. After restringing at a local guitar shop in St Albans there was an incredible buzzing, turned out that one of the tuning pegs was loose (they're not top quality ones) but a bit of superglue fixed that.

Played live with it, sounds good and is very solid. I'm trading it in for a semi-acoustic Tanglewood solid top today and am gutted, it's been *such* a good first proper guitar.

Doesn't apply

I'd definitely buy another one as a good basic acoustic The best feature is the sound, it sounds like a guitar costing two or three times as much.

Made in China...20 frets...laminated top...included gig bag, strap, tuner, etc

have had serious problems with this things, there is a humming noise that is pretty annoying, the tuners are cheap (some turn w/ ease, some it almost takes a wrench to turn them), and the high frets are all messed up, i.e. i get the same note when i play strings on the 14th fret as i do on the 13th fret...making it impossible to play chords or solo that high on the fretboard...very frustrating.

action is fine, the finish is nice (for a laminated top)...as noted above there is a flaw with the fret setup. also, after 2 years of playing and no cold weather storage, the bridge has a crack and probably won't last much longer

the only reason i still have this guitar is because i'm in college and have no money for another one. I've been told i can fix the cracked bridge problem, but the fret deal is something i just have to deal with. I'm not a rockstar, so using this live would be fine, and my current backup is a fisher-price electric.

If i was smart, i would have gotten this thing fixed when before my 1 year warranty was up. Too bad i didn't play enough my first year to realize there was a problem.

I've been told the trade in value is $50.00, so with the change I have in the cushions of my couch, I have about $50.39 to buy a new guitar, which I would like to do as soon as possible. I'm not currently worried about it being stolen, unless it's to be used as a stage prop in a school play, where it would be excellent to smash over someone's head.

dreadnought acoustic came w/ a gig bag, strap. It has a rosewood freatboard. It has a laminated top. It is a real pretty guitar.

This thing sounds great. I mainly play classic rock like ccr and the eagles. I have played sevral guitars that were triple in price and still didn't have that good of sound.

The guitar was set up very well w/ the factory, there were no flaws in the guitar at all. If it would play just a hair bit easier it would just be perfect.

This guitar would definitely withstand live playing. It has a great finish, very dependable and you would not need a backup.

never dealt w/ fender before

I have been playing for quite a while. I mainly bought because it was fairly inexpensive but the price tag means nothing, it is just one heckuvan acoustic. wouldn't trade it

Its a 1997 DG-3 made in china,it has 20 frets,with a nato top (which is in the mahogany family).The neck I think is maple neck with a rosewood fretboard.The body style is a dreadnought.The neck has medium frets.It came in a value pack with picks,strings,gig bag,cheap tuner,polish,polish cloth,etc.I thought it might be cheaply made but I had $250 so I bought it I thought what the hell its a fender.I was right its actually pretty good and its great for the price.

Its pretty cool I play almost everything and it sounds great.It sounds pretty good you can play jimi hendrix (with light guage strings)on it and it kick ass with chords.

It was pretty well set up except when I got it home I had to adjust the truss rod a little.The top back and sides were bookmatched pretty well but on the top you have to look pretty well.One fret had one side thatstuck up a little but it wasnt up high enough to make a difference.

The hardware seems like it will last.The finish is pretty good I guess. I can depend on it and I might use a backup if I was at a gig.

It had a warranty for one year but i've never had to deal with fender.

I've been playing for 1 year.I also own a fender deluxe super strat which kicks ass.If it were stolen or lost I would buy a DG-7 which came out after I bought the DG-3 and the DG-7 is $250.I love it because it sounds great and pretty reliable.I chose this one because I needed a guitar that came with everything I needed to start out with then I would buy the more exspensive guitars.

Made in 1997. Acoustic guitar. Nothing special and nothing to go wrong.

Absolutely wonderful guitar. Thoroughly recommended.

Low action, rattled at first but soon rectified.

Guitar is simple which means nothing to go wrong. Sturdy and reliable.
