"They all retail at 299 as well, which is pretty unbelievable for a sub £300 guitar" Loved this line!

[@mschroeckenfuchs]

Just been looking at the range yesterday, today there's an Andertons video about'em. Reliable as per usual!

[@andertons]

It's almost as if we know... Thanks for tuning in, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@glenproctor1999]

Have really missed listening to Ben's playing. Welcome back mate! Those guitars are excellent value too.

[@leelossi1257]

I'm impressed! All of them sound beautiful. Love the lows and nice range of sound

[@justie1220]

These guitars sound good, and for sub £300 you can’t go wrong really.. also, as an aside, you seem to really be coming into your own here on andertons Ben! I look forward to Acoustic Paradiso every week

[@diegozavala1939]

This is the best review of this guitar on youtube. Love the quality of your videos

[@svenklabunde]

Hey Ben, it’s about time you’re back. Missed your playing already ;-)

[@MrMikepresley]

Ben, I do enjoy the videos you are in, good job!

[@scottfishkind5335]

Great presentation and playing, thank you! I purchased the Sunburst Redondo Player very recently. It has a really playable neck, quality Fishman pickup, and is beautiful to look at as well! From a timbrel standpoint, the Redondo Player is brighter than my Yamaha FG800. Using a .73 pick gives a nice, balanced, rounder tone, where a .60 really brings out that jangly quality. Fingerstyle (in my case without nails) it's mellow with a touch of brightness. This is my second Fender acoustic (also have the Tim Armstrong Hellcat). I never thought I would even consider Fender acoustics and I've been really pleased with them especially at the price point!

[@jessedax7333]

They all sound good. The first better than the rest for me. But then again with Ben playing everything sounds good!!! Even a wooden stick with rope strings I bet!!!

[@LivingstonGina]

Love these!

[@nicotera3470]

lovely playing man! : )

[@MrHeliosoul]

Well done! Thank you! Much gratitude Ben for this review I was curious how they sound. While I'm accustomed to seeing Pete and or Captain doing acoustic reviews, I have grown quite fond of this gentleman whose name I will surely commit to memory following this video.

[@andertons]

Glad you enjoyed the video, Ben has been a great addition to the Andertons team with loads more Acoustic Paradiso episodes to follow! 🤘

[@torinowens6103]

I own the New Porter &. I Love it! It sounds soooooo Good to Me. 1love

[@brocluno01]

My wife and I have a couple of Fender acoustics. 6 and 12 string. Both are great for parties and BBQ's and such. Hate to drag out the expensive stuff when kids are banging on and friends and neighbors have had a few ... They are good all around guitars. And we go all the way back to the Villager steel pipe 12 string days. Glad that one is now just collectable :D

[@oldmanzen6682]

Not a fan of most of the finishes, but I do like that little parlour-ish model. Great playing, as always. Thanks for the demo.

[@rhysedwards15]

Great to have Acoustic Paradiso back! Any chance of a video comparing some more affordable all solid wood guitars (e.g. Faith, Epiphone Masterbilt, Fender Paramount etc.) versus more premium laminated back and sides models (Taylor, Martin etc.) that are around the same price? Looking to upgrade from my first acoustic!

[@TrevorTowstego]

Those headstocks were an interesting choice. I don't know if I've ever seen an acoustic with a string tree before.

[@suljemusic712]

These sound and look great at that price point. 👍🏻

[@andertons]

Thanks for tuning in, we are glad to have Acoustic Paradiso back!

[@geralr]

One thing Ben forgot to mention is that the Malibu series has a shorter scale length of 24.1 inches. But great video as always.

[@Milez5858]

Great job at making it sound good, but every Fender acoustic I've played has been tough to play in comparison to others at the price point. I love my strat, but wouldn't own one of these.

[@Aint1S]

They're hit and miss. I own one scroll topped headstock 321 from around 2005 and every Fender acoustic I've played before/after sounds dead. Each one has something missing from it's output and that's from the same model. It's my best acoustic and just luck to come across it when I was dead set on leaving with a Martin.

[@phendrox5458]

It’s such a varied and vastly produced range that you just have to hope you get a good one with the one you purchase. I got a Fender CD-60 all mahogany and it’s absolutely amazing given that it cost less than £200!

[@voltagevillain7342]

Lee Anderton knows his guitars but also how to pick good staff :)

[@mrmoto2715]

Great Gitarrist 👍

[@danadams8649]

got excited! i thought the new sonoran mini was in the lineup i wanna see a review of one of them badly but the only one on youtube is in russian.

[@FloridaManRacer]

This might be my next acoustic. an under $300~ (not sure where conversion rates are for US right now) fender parlor style sounds WONDERFUL.

[@ukuleleangela6153]

on guitarcenter for 430 dollars

[@nathanmcleod9497]

Just got me one for 429

[@barrycunliffe5217]

I have a Newporter & it holds its own against guitars costing treble the price, great guitars but try a few of the same model until one stands out 😉

[@timothymckane6362]

It's weird to see those acoustic electric guitars have a Fender Stratocaster-esqe headstock, but I guess it's to make it fancy for some people. I had a friend that has one of those guitars back then because he really liked the design of it.

[@stormengine3261]

Always wanted one after watching Owen Wilson playing on Starsky and Hutch

[@ukuleleangela6153]

@andertons music co have you noticed any sound differences in the malibu that is aqua splash, and the new natural color you played in this video, due to thickness of paint of the aqua blue and probably just a gloss on the spruce of the natural? Considering purchasing and wanted to know if thats a factor to think about. Its so hard to make purchases now when you cant go to stores and you have to recon everything 😆

[@danadams8649]

great question i would like to know this info, tempted to get a sonoran mini natural or an arctic white malibu.

[@Charldino2345]

Imma ben simp, love his playing

[@BenConquestGuitar]

ben was my old guitar teacher and taught me so so much , hes an amazing dude

[@randy6602]

Is there any new colors for left-handers?

[@bencowling8972]

Ordered a Bass from Andertons (Epic deal) 3 weeks ago that was due in stock following day. Checked back every day since and date kept being pushed to following day. Just now received email that they do not know when they will have the Bass in stock - no time frame at all! And what's really worrying is the bass is no longer on the website. Cool videos, terrible customer service.

[@gabberthakur4077]

Sir, I can i get that sunburst fender Redondo guitar???

[@VickGaza]

Is the Malibu Player size considered a 3/4 or is it bigger than 3/4 size but smaller than Dreadnought ? I would like to buy a guitar that`s a bit smaller than those big dreadnaughts, though I think a jr or 3/4 might be a bit too small ? ty !

[@ellis.hj1]

Go for the newporter then as it’s in between and a decent size, but a lil smaller than a regular dreadnuaght

[@niggelasse4004]

How bout a video about the new PRS SE P20 series? That would be great!

[@andertons]

We have that video coming very soon! Stay tuned & make sure to hit the notification bell to not miss it... 🤘

[@niggelasse4004]

That sounds great. I'm excited. Thanks!

[@billyellow4849]

Ben: They all retail at 299 - which is pretty unbelieveable really for a sub-£300 guitar.

[@sgtmac62]

Malibu sounds like an old-school Blues guitar. $300? Got to play one.

[@budgetguitaristcom]

I love Fender - but I'm not a fan of the strat headstock on acoustics. These guitars do sound and look wonderful, though!

[@voltagevillain7342]

They make stringing much easier for the thinnest three.

[@budgetguitaristcom]

@@voltagevillain7342 That's probably true. They also have a better string angle. I just don't like the look of them on non-strats. I am old - I'm a traditionalist.

[@voltagevillain7342]

@@budgetguitaristcom I'm old too and as blind as a bat when it comes to those top strings. I know what you mean. :)

[@christopher7310]

Can't complain about that look and sound. Hell of a bargain

[@chrisfaircloth9078]

Does anyone know what that green HH is in the background left, It's a nice green is that Surf green?

[@andertons]

It's a Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas SD1. Unfortunately the finish has been discontinued but you can find more Charvel models similar here: www.andertons.co.uk/brands/charvel/style-1-guitars?#facet:&productBeginIndex:0&facetLimit:&orderBy:&pageView:grid&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:& Hope that helps!

[@jessedax7333]

@fco. Jose etc etc. .. what does that mean???

[@billnelson9413]

Johnny Cash played a gloss black Malibu for a period. I wish Fender had that at this price point.

[@ukuleleangela6153]

really? so awesome!

[@billnelson9413]

Ukulele Angela yes and they have one without the electronics. I do like aqua quite a bit. I have the Elvis Presley Kingman Fender made for a year in beechwood. It’s great.

[@ukuleleangela6153]

Bill Nelson wow! thats great. yeah i cant decide if I like the aqua splash or that light tan one in the video better. Decisions 😊

[@elibeachill1150]

was wondering if ben has his own channel, would be interesting to learn about his playing style with a thumb pick, saw his playing ordered some but am absolutely useless with em

He sure does! Check out his channel here: kzbin.info Loads of great content to watch & learn from!

The paramount series sound pretty damn good.although much more expensive.

I cant apreciate that kind of headstock on an acoustic guitar. Is it supose to save costs on production? It just looks out of place for me. :s
