Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a bit more focused and less boomy than a Dreadnought; the Auditorium shape offers a more balanced response, especially for fingerstyle.
It’s a modern ‘C’ shape, comfortable and relatively slim, but with a slight vintage feel – not as flat as some contemporary necks.
FSR models often feature upgraded components or finishes; the construction is generally very solid, on par with standard Fender production – expect good attention to detail.
