Fender FR-48 Resonator
Summary: Fender’s take on an entry level metal bodied resonator guitar, this FR-48 has a 14-fret round mahogany neck, nickel plated steel body with cool Fender "F" sound holes, and single cone with biscuit bridge.
Body: Metal body resonator, single cone, Fender “F” style sound holes.
Neck: Round neck, 25.5” scale length, 1 11/16” nut width, 19 frets/14 open frets, pearl dot inlays.
Pickups/Hardware: Closed gear tuning keys, wood bridge, single cone.
Cosmetics: The finish on this resonator has some tarnishing and wear that looks almost like fingerprints. We have polished the body and it seems to just be the wear into the metal. It has light surface scratches throughout. Overall, this instrument is in good shape, plays very well, and sounds fantastic.
Playability: Our in-house guitar tech has inspected, setup, and restrung this guitar with a new set of resonator strings. The neck is straight, the truss rod is fully functional, and the action has been setup low and comfortable. The frets are in great shape with no major grooves or divots from use and it plays beautifully up and down the fretboard with no dead spots or choking out.
Weight: 9.55 lbs.
Case: This guitar ships in a hard-shell case, professionally packaged, and fully insured.
