Fender builds the FA-345CE with curated combinations of tonewoods that are hand selected to supply great acoustic tone. The FA-345CE’s flame maple top is a flashy feature you’ll also find on some of the world’s most iconic acoustic and electric guitars — flame maple adds depth, character, and complexity to your playing and is almost a guitar essential. The FA-345CE’s back and sides are built from lacewood laminate, which shares a lot in common with mahogany but adds a little snap and pep that pair well with your maple top. Plus, the FA-345CE sports a comfortable premium mahogany neck with great sonic sustain so your chords can ring pure and true.With the FA-345CE’s sleek auditorium-style body, you’ll play in comfort and style with exceptional access to your guitar’s frets, even those in the FA-345CE’s upper registers. Auditorium bodies are smaller and lighter than traditional dreadnought-style bodies. They shed excess wood off the design yet use the science of sound projection and wood curvature to retain optimum projection and articulation that’s balanced and professional. The FA-345CE’s body also features a lower body cutaway, which means you can access those upper frets.
