Product Description

The most affordable Fender guitar on the market, the ESC-80 three-quarter-size classical guitar is available exclusively at Austin Bazaar, a Fender-authorized dealer. An ideal guitar for beginners, the ESC-80 is designed with the intention of stimulating interest in musicianship and arousing passion for the art of guitar playing. Classical guitars are ideal for beginners because they have nylon strings, which makes them easy to play, and because their smooth tone is less noisy than a steel-string acoustic guitar. It's also worthwhile to note that, in spite of their name, classical guitars aren't specifically oriented toward classical repertoire. You can play the same music on a classical guitar -- be it pop/rock or jazz -- that you can on an acoustic guitar. The ESC-80 boasts the expert craftsmanship, ease of playability, and exceptional sound quality synonymous with the Fender brand name. The color of natural wood with a glossy finish, the ESC-80 has a rosewood fretboard and bridge, a laminated spruce top, and a laminated agathis body. It's built with 18 frets, a scale length of 24 inches, and durable chrome three-in-line open gear tuners with white pearl acrylic buttons. Prestrung with D'Addario Pro Arte nylon strings (.028-.043), it even comes with a Fender gig bag. A remarkable deal at only $99, the ESC-80 three-quarter-size classical guitar is an Austin Bazaar exclusive.

• Laminated spruce top and agathis back and sides
• Rosewood bridge and saddle
• Comes with a sturdy gig bag
• Great beginner guitar
• Unbeatable price

This review is from: Fender ESC80 3/4 Size Classical Guitar with Rosewood Fretboard and Gigbag- Natural I should not have been suprised by the quality of this guitar given the price and must say I felt a bit mislead by the other review posted. The guitar does look good but the sound and workmanship are terrible..no sustain and a very annoying buzzing sound from the interior framework can be heard with every note played. I would recommend looking at some of the other less expensive models...quality of this instrument is very low.

This review is from: Fender ESC80 3/4 Size Classical Guitar with Rosewood Fretboard and Gigbag- Natural Looks great on the stand, very convenient size for pick-up-and-play moments. Doesn't cost an arm and a leg, so you can jam on it! Pretty decent sound for an inexpensive guitar. It's much better than a used old piece of junk that would cost you about the same. New workmanship is better in this case, rather than old stuff that could break, like tuners, terrible action on the strings, etc. All around fun guitar to play!
