I scored this Fender DG-5 for only 60 bucks yesterday at Guitar Center in North Attleboro , Mass. I don't know why it was selling for so low and I'm not complaining either. There are zero issues with it. The height was just right. All I had to do was to clean the fretboard with some Lemon oil, tighten up the tuners, polish it, and restring her. I had a extra gig bag lying around but I might see about getting a HS case for it. I checked on the site here and I guess these were only made from 1995-97 and they have a Basswood top which I assume is a laminate and Mahogany back & sides . It actually doesn't sound that bad at all and is fun to play. If anybody knows anything about this model , I'd appreciate hearing about it, thanks.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Another guitar finds a good home. Nice deal, Jeff.

Some reviews have suggested to lower the strings, so a proper setup might be helpful. I've seen that Indonesian (?) guitar for 4 times what you paid for it. So, even if you only get half the fun you're still way ahead. I'm betting you'll do better than that though. Enjoy. :D

I ended up selling it a couple of weeks ago to one of my neighbors who was in the market for a Acoustic guitar. He's on a low budget with a wife and a daughter to support so I ended up putting in a set of Brass saddle pins and I restrung her and sold it to him for only $70.00 . He wanted to give me $100.00 for it but I told him no. I told him what I paid for it and that with the addition of the brass pins and new strings , 70 bucks was more than fair IMO. He loves it and has been playing it every day. Just seeing him enjoying it , is enough for me .
