Performance
This is a Fender GN-45SCE. Sure it’s a grand acoustic classical guitar, but it has a very different tone to it. It has a AA solid Cedar top, solid Indian Rosewood back, Rosewood fretboard and sides. Its Preamp is a Fender/Fishman classic 4 aclr. It is very easy to play (for a nylon string) due to its slimmer neck and is well worth the money I paid for it. Feels very comfortable to play with the cutaway.
Performance Rating: 9
Sound Quality
It sounds very good acoustically, but not excellent. And it is not as loud as other classicals. This is due to the oversized bodies. Other wise sounds great through an amplifier too, very clean and natural sounding. Its an added plus with the body and brightness dial on the preamp!

Construction
Despite the fact that this was made overseas, the craftsmen did a great job. I got it used but it looks brand new with just a less glossy finish. I’ve had it for a couple days and I love it. Looks like it going to last me while, knock on wood! Pun intended.
