I just heard the Fender esd10 Espanada and it sounded great.

I read that it was a group effort by three of Fender's luthiers
including Don Hector in Mexico.

The guitar itself is made in Mexico.

I don't know what factors played into making this guitar sound so great.

I would get this guitar except I don't like ebony fretboards and I like
acoustic guitars with cutaways.

Can anyone direct me to a guitar similar to the esd10 with a cutaway
and a fretboard other than ebony that sounds or is made like the esd-10 espanada?

What do you think make sound you like ? Ebony and it's cutaway . Change one thing and you won't be able to get the sound you have .

Also you probably need to try many ESD10 to find your ( best) sound.

Why Fender acoustic guitar ? Try some Taylor.

Taylors are over-rated.

You think ? When I go to music store I try some expensive acoustic guitars and I always prefer Taylor,
IMO Gibson acoustic are overated , is it because I don't like the sound when I paly side by side with Taylor ?

But I admit is not a scientific reserch

Just my opinion. And I know some folks who have had issues with Taylor support. Yeah, Gibson is full of themselves. I will agree with that! Even some of the Fender Pro Custom acoustics made in New Hartford, CT do not have the price tag of the standard Gibsons (street price.)

And you are right. It's not scientific research. It is up to each player to decide what feels best and sounds best for him/her. And too many retailers like GC have staff pushing the monthly "special" with little to no knowledge of what they are selling. i.e. Big price means better guitar. Wrong!

If "you" are happy with Taylor, that's all that counts. I just expressed my opinion is all. Play what you enjoy and enjoy what you play. :D
