Just come back from my local guitar shop.
They have sold four new Fender Paramount Acoustic Guitars, in the last week,
Looks like these great Fender Guitars are going like hot cakes.

afreeman714, Hi your right, it is a really beautiful guitar, the whole range of the Fender Paramount series, are stunning.
They stand out even more, if you go into a guitar shop with a wall full of guitars, and the Fender Paramount is in the mix.
Your also right about the beauty of the sunburst models, but I bought the natural colour model, also a great looker, but the reason I chose the natural colour, and it was a tough decision, was I also have a great looking Simon and Patrick, Woodland Pro, Folk guitar that has slotted headstock and has a sunburst finish, so just to make a little variation in looks.

I think Fender are really pushing there new Acoustic guitars,
and taking them to a new upmarket quality.
There are quite a lot of old, Fender acoustic guitar haters out there, and with the likes of Martin, Taylor and Gibson to name but a few it's a tough market out their, and time will tell if Fender have made a wise choice, but my hat off to them for trying.
Sorry for such a long reply to your post, it's just because I like my new little guitar.
Your Alvarez guitar is good looker too.

afreeman714, Thanks for the reply.
I have not seen or tried (thank goodness), some of the new top end Fender Acoustic guitars, that are manufactured in America, they have a price tag of over £3,000, should be more than good for that sort of money.
Yes your Alvarez guitar is very similar looking to one of the models in The Fender Paramount range.
Also the Alvarez is manufactured from AA grade solid Spruce top, they are an excellent guitar, never hear of an Alvarez owner not liking their guitars.
Not long ago I was very interested in buying an Alvarez Parlour guitar, but could not get one locally.
Don't need to pay mega bucks nowadays for some great acoustic guitars.

Greg Ballantyne, The main reason for all the preaching is, I am on my own, no other Fender Acoustic guitar owners on this site (or any that will own up to owning a Fender acoustic guitar).
I hear and read comments like, won't touch a Fender Acoustic with a barge pole, wouldn't take one down off the wall to try.
Well if they did take them of the wall and try them, there comments would be more valid.
Maybe I have missed something, if so maybe someone could enlighten me on the Fender Acoustic hate thing.
But Fender do sell more guitars than any other guitar manufacturer in the world.
Last point I really like my Fender Paramount Parlour Guitar.

Derick, I admire and appreciate your passion for your new Fender Paramount guitar. Agreed, Fender has traditionally been known as a low-end acoustic guitar, a red-headed stepchild compared to their electrics. The fact that Fender Acoustic is raising itself by the bootstraps is a very good thing, and indicative of the advances in manufacturing processes that have raised the quality of many brands of heretofore "low-end" guitars, or low-end models in well-regarded brands (witness Martin's Mexico-made lines, as TonyKgull recommended).

Epiphone also comes to mind with their (relatively new) all-solid wood Masterbuilt series.  Epiphone has long been known for cheap, "starter" acoustic guitars in the $200-$300 range.  The Masterbuilt EF/ER series are in the $800 price range, but are well built and have excellent electronics.

I have a mid-range (~$700) Indonesia-made Epiphone Les Paul that doesn't enjoy the stature of it's sibling Gibson brand but is very well made.  I can't imagine a Gibson being worth 3-4x the cost.

Cort is another brand that has introduced higher-end models that will likely have a tough time shedding the "low price/low quality" stigma.

Consider yourself a "pioneer" who sees value above all else! Lots of people pay way too much money for brands (across all commodities) just to say they have the name.
