If it has anything in common with most Fender acoustics, not very good. At least the acoustics are cheap; this eyesore is well over a grand.

That picture gave me a bloody nose and a black eye. What an aesthetic mess. It's also got so many ways it can sound bad and so few that could make it sound right.

I've crapped cooler looking turds. Probably better sounding ones, too.

Damn, just the other day I laughed to myself at the thought of making "F" holes out of the iconic Fender F.

THE GUYS THAT OWN THE TRADEMARK TO THAT ICONIC F BEAT ME TO IT.

That's Fender list price, $1099.

I'm sure it'll be less on the street/online, but still.

Perfect piece of crap to jump on this new pop bluegrass kind of thing that seems to be the new grunge.

A For a $1000? Nope. For $250? I'd play the hell out of it! I dig it.

I don't even hate it, (but don't love it either) but yeah I'm always skeptical of new gear and pretty much assume the worst at this point
