The Fender FR-50CE is the perfect introduction to the world of the resonator guitar! Finished in a folky sunburst and made from laminate mahogany and spruce with chrome resonator, the Fender FR-50CE has a cutaway for great upper fret access when holding the guitar in a traditional playing position, and has a built in pickup system so you can amplify the quintessential bluegrass guitar sound during live performance. The FR-50CE sounds great when played with a slide.
Finished in typical Fender style with Fender-Logo-"F" shaped f-holes, the FR-50CE allows you to exploit the metallic bluegrass and bluesy sound until your heart is content!
Here's what Fender say about the FR-50CE Electric Resonator Guitar
For great amplified resonator tone, the FR-50 CE is the perfect choice. It's the same great resonator as the FR-50, with the addition of a cutaway and dual-pickup system. Features a Telecaster guitar neck pickup, Fishman Resonator pickup coupled with a Fishman power jack (lets you go stereo by sending each pickup to a different amp), two independent volume controls and a tone control.
