The X35S/FCE is a really solid choice for intermediate players wanting a well-built, amplified acoustic. The solid top gives it a surprisingly mature voice, and the black walnut back adds a nice touch of warmth. It’s a great all-rounder, equally happy strumming folk or fingerpicking mellow tunes – a real workhorse instrument.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Mings MB-3 is respectable for its price point, but lacks the nuanced tonal shaping of higher-end systems; it’s perfectly serviceable for smaller gigs or practice.
The 46mm nut width offers a decent amount of space, but the Okoume neck is relatively slim, which generally suits a wider range of hand sizes.
Maple binding is quite robust, but the high-gloss finish will show fingerprints and smudges easily; regular wiping with a soft cloth is all that’s needed.
