Back in the late 60s, Tam Harvey, who was the other half of "The Humblebums" with Billy Connolly, played a Fender acoustic which sounded and felt great. Over the years I have tried various Fender acoustics, none of which came close.
Is it the old story of manufacture being moved to the Far East with standards deteriorating? I'm not simply knocking the Far East having played a Yamaha for years before moving to Lowden.
I did see an acoustic 12 with the standard Fender headstock which seemed to be as long as the body and felt very top-heavy but would be pleased to hear from someone who played one regularly.
