Fender Classic Design Series

The familiar warmth of an acoustic guitar is something memories and traditions are built with, and a new player’s first guitar is the most critical part of their musical journey. Classic Design guitars combine the timelessness of tried-and-true body shapes with top-notch craftsmanship and modern features that will appeal to beginner and intermediate guitarists alike. Whether you’re looking for the classic tone of a spruce/mahogany dreadnought, experimenting with smaller body shapes like a parlor or concert, or exploring new tones with nylon strings or acoustic basses, you’ll find your next source of inspiration within Fender’s Classic Design series.

Solid Spruce Top

Spruce is the standard modern tonewood for fashioning the tops of acoustic guitars and other acoustic instruments. Few woods can beat its strength, brightness, and dynamic range, and it responds well to any acoustic playing style, from hard strumming to fast flatpicking to delicate fingerpicking.

Easy-to-Play Neck & Cutaway Design

With its comfortably rolled fingerboard edges, this instrument’s neck creates an incredibly comfortable fret-hand feel that's ideal for beginning players or experienced pros alike. The cutaway on this classic dreadnought offers easy access to the upper frets for high-register play.

Fishman Presys Preamp and Tuner

A Fishman pickup/preamp system includes a variety of onboard controls for amplifying your acoustic instrument without compromising its pure, rich, and resonant tone. It also features a convenient built-in tuner.

Ovangkol Back & Sides

With solid strength, smooth feel and excellent tonal quality, ovangkol gives this guitar an elegant appearance with rich, warm tone. A relative of rosewood, ovangkol shares many of its tonal characteristics, while visually it sometimes looks lighter in appearance.

Graph Tech NuBone Nut and Bridge Saddle

Graph Tech nuts and bridge saddles enhance the sustain, clarity, and tonal consistency of an acoustic instrument. Neither too soft nor too brittle, NuBone’s properties are remarkably close to real bone, and eliminate troublesome string binding while delivering performance and functionality that easily outdoes other plastics.

Hardshell Case Included

This hardshell case features a useful storage compartment, making gig-to-gig transport a cinch.

Strum confidently with the same premium acoustic guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available. Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings. Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set. Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes? Engineered to endure, these acoustic strings constructed with phosphor bronze wrap wire boast a dynamic balance of rich, full-bodied tone and sparkling high-end clarity. Compared to our original POLYWEB Coating, the ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating allows a more traditionally textured, “uncoated” feel. For a slicker, gentler feel, try a set of strings with our original POLYWEB Coating. The 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with POLYWEB Coating, for example, might be a good fit if you want a more robust and rounded tone. On the other end of the tone spectrum, our 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Coating deliver a brighter, crisper tone alongside the same traditional feel as these phosphor bronze strings. Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone or feel is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir Strings. For a more in-depth look at what makes our strings so special, scroll to the branded info further down the page. Elixir Strings: Great tone. Long life.

The unmistakable sound of a well-made 12-string guitar is perfect for solo gigs and band performances, especially when it was designed by the founder of influential U.S. punk band Rancid. Tim Armstrong's Hellcat is based on the old Fender acoustic that was his go-to guitar for songwriting, and quickly became one of the best-selling Fender acoustic artist models ever. With the Tim Armstrong Hellcat-12, that same classic vibe is offered in a 12-string version that simply rocks. Whether it's alt-folk tunes at the college coffeehouse or slamming punk with a band, the Hellcat-12 combines great acoustic tone with versatile onboard electronics and a satin body and neck finish for smooth playability, all at a surprisingly low cost.
