The FS3 NT is a really well-made little guitar. The A.R.E. treatment makes it sound much more seasoned than its size suggests – it’s got a lovely warmth and a surprising amount of projection. It’s a great choice for intermediate players or anyone wanting a travel-friendly, comfortable instrument with a refined voice.

Frequently Asked Questions
A.R.E. accelerates the natural aging process, yielding a more open, responsive sound with improved overtones and a smoother feel, akin to a much older instrument.
The neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape and a 44mm nut width, which is generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might find it slightly snug.
The solid mahogany back and sides give it a warmer, more focused tone than many guitars using rosewood, providing a distinct character that's ideal for fingerstyle and mellow strumming.
