Fender ESC-105 Full Size Classical Guitar with Gigbag- Natural

Product Description

The most affordable Fender guitar on the market, the ESC-105 full-size classical guitar is available exclusively at Austin Bazaar, a Fender-authorized dealer. An ideal guitar for beginners, the ESC-105 is designed with the intention of stimulating interest in musicianship and arousing passion for the art of guitar playing.Classical guitars are ideal for beginners because they have nylon strings, which makes them easy to play, and because their smooth tone is less noisy than a steel-string acoustic guitar. It's also worthwhile to note that, in spite of their name, classical guitars aren't specifically oriented toward classical repertoire. You can play the same music on a classical guitar -- be it pop/rock or jazz -- that you can on an acoustic guitar.The ESC-105 boasts the expert craftsmanship, ease of playability, and exceptional sound quality synonymous with the Fender brand name. The color of natural wood with a glossy finish, the ESC-105 has a rosewood fretboard and bridge, a laminated spruce top, and a laminated agathis body. It's built with 18 frets, a scale length of 25.5 inches, and durable chrome three-in-line open gear tuners with white pearl acrylic buttons. Prestrung with D'Addario Pro Arte nylon strings (.028-.043), it even comes with a Fender gig bag. A remarkable deal at only $99, the ESC-105 full-size classical guitar is an Austin Bazaar exclusive.


  • Laminated spruce top and agathis back and sides
  • Rosewood bridge and saddle
  • Comes with a sturdy gig bag
  • Great beginner guitar
  • Unbeatable price

This review is from: Fender ESC-105 Full Size Classical Guitar with Gigbag- Natural
Couldn't be happier with the purchase. Having played in my teen years, I was ready to pick Guitar up again at 35. I didn't want to spend a ton of money but I didn't want a toy either. I owned a Fender Squire Stratocaster in my younger years so I trusted the Fender name. At 100 bucks and free shipping, this seemed like the perfect medium. The guitar arrived ~3 business days after I ordered via Fedex. The size is absolutely perfect; I was expecting a much larger instrument being that it was classical, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually not massive at all. It was "just right". The finish is beautiful and the fret board is well crafted and smooth; however it does have that rosewood texture making it feel like a much more expensive instrument. The bag it comes with is also very well made. The strings are indeed nylon and the action is very manageable. You don't have to have a kung fu grip to play cords or notes. This is very clearly a well made, moderately priced... Read more

I purchased this guitar as a second classical, wanted it in my office to pick up and plink now and then. The guitar has a great sound and great action, very nice when you consider the price your paying for the guitar and gig bag. One item of note is that unlike my yamaha classical guitar the neck is almost the exact same width as a regular steel string acoustic which I suppose if that is your normal instrument it could be an advantage, if you prefer the additional width than you may want to check on the yamaha classical which is a little more but very nice quality, I have had mine for 40 years. One of the issues expressed in some other post was the inability of the instrument to stay tuned, with nylon string instruments it is important (actually any stringed instrument) to check the tuning every time you play, when a classical guitar starts to hold tune for extended period of time you need to start considering changing the strings to keep a good tone. They stretch all the time,... Read more

As a beginner, I had to think long and hard on what type of guitar would match my personal style and taste. I found that nylon strings were better suited to the sound I like, and as such, I went for the classical style of the guitar. From great things I had heard all my life from seasoned guitar players and the media, I knew that Fender was a brand that I simply could not go wrong with. This guitar is beautiful in visual and audio aspects. It's very aesthetically pleasing, even for a person who doesn't know much about guitars. If this is the type of style that you're digging, as either a beginner or a veteran guitar player, I think this would be a wonderful choice for you.

Sincerely,
One Satisfied Customer
