Dear repeat 'fenders,

I'm looking for a replacement for my ageing Ibanez AEF37E (dread electroacoustic). I'm not too picky, just wanna have fun, and to be able to go from Tárrega to Santana in 60 secs., with a bit of Tommy Emmanuel for good measure.

I'm mostly in the dark about Fender, so I'd appreciate your suggestions on some versatile electroacoustics in the $300-400 range.

I've been looking at reviews, but almost all of them speak wonders of whichever guitar they are talking, so they are not a helpful comparison. xD

The Hellcat is often recommended as a great and cheap guitar, for example, though some complain about poor manufacture. I worry about the solid mahogany top muffling its sound, since I'll play mostly acoustic.

The Newporter Player looks sexy too, as does the classy CN-140SCE, and both also have rave reviews, as well as the ocasional complaint of poor finish.

There's no shop where I can get a hands-on taste where I live, and they all sound great to me in the videos so, basically, it's up to your kind advise to steer me towards one of these or some other model. :) Thanks for any info!

I can't say which guitar would make you happy…
But choose your favorite, and order it from a shop which has a no-questions-asked return policy. If you love it, keep it. If you don't, just return it and choose another model. No reason to be coy about returning.

A friend would bring the guitar from the USA. I live in a third-world country. We don't indulge in such niceties as return policies here, so I have to do my homework beforehand, as well as I can.

It's probing hard. :)
