Overview
The Fender FA- 15 3/ 4 Size Acoustic Guitar is a thoughtfully designed, compact acoustic instrument that blends legendary Fender craftsmanship with modern playability for young players, beginners, or musicians who are always on the move. Its smaller 3/ 4 size makes it perfect for children, students, travelers, or anyone who finds full- sized guitars bulky . This guitar is not only easy to hold and play , but it also delivers a rich and full acoustic tone that belies its size.
Designed for Learning & Travel
Unlike many smaller guitars that compromise on tone or build quality, the FA- 15 provides a genuine acoustic experience . Its scaled- down size makes it far more approachable for smaller hands, making chord transitions and finger positioning easier for beginners. For seasoned players, the FA- 15 becomes the perfect travel companion — lightweight, portable, and reliable. Whether you’re a parent looking for a quality first guitar for your child, a music teacher in need of a classroom solution, or a seasoned guitarist in search of a compact practice guitar , the FA- 15 answers the call.
Body & Tonewoods
At the heart of the FA- 15’ s tone is its laminated agathis top . Agathis is known for delivering a warm, mellow resonance with decent projection— ideal for solo practice and intimate performances. The top is supported by laminated sapele back and sides , adding durability and enhanced midrange clarity. Together, these tonewoods provide a balanced sound profile , ensuring rich lows and clear highs , even in a compact body. This laminate construction offers two major benefits:
- Resilience against changes in humidity and temperature , making it suitable for varied climates.
- Lightweight build without compromising structural integrity.
Neck & Playability
The FA- 15 features a C- shaped nato neck with a walnut fingerboard , making it a joy to play across the fretboard. The shape fits comfortably in your hand, especially for younger players or those with smaller palms. The neck joins the body in a smooth transition, giving better access to higher frets. The shorter 3/ 4 scale length results in reduced string tension, making it easier to fret notes and bend strings— ideal for beginners still developing finger strength. Additionally, the 20- fret walnut fingerboard provides a sleek and responsive playing surface, while dot inlays guide learners through finger positioning with visual assistance.
Headstock & Tuning
The 2+ 2 modern Fender headstock design gives this guitar a stylish look while offering excellent balance. The open- gear tuning machines are smooth and reliable, making it easier to keep the guitar in tune even after extended play. Whether tuning up before a lesson or jamming with friends, the FA- 15 stays consistently in tune , giving players confidence and a better overall experience.
Sound Quality
Despite its smaller size, the FA- 15 surprises many with its impressive tonal clarity and projection . Thanks to the agathis and sapele combination, this guitar produces a clear, articulate sound — perfect for strumming chords or fingerstyle practice. The shorter scale enhances warmth and richness in tone, while the body design ensures even volume across the range. It's well- suited for:
- Practice sessions
- Songwriting
- Small performances
- Group music classes
The FA- 15 may not boom like a dreadnought, but it holds its own in tone quality , making it an excellent instrument for both beginners and traveling musicians .
Finish & Aesthetics
The FA- 15 is available in multiple vibrant finishes , including Natural, Black, Blue, Red, and Pink — allowing musicians to express their personalities through their instruments. Its satin finish not only enhances the natural grain and color of the wood but also allows the top to vibrate freely, improving tone. The minimalist rosette and simple black binding add a touch of elegance without overcomplicating the design.
Strings & Setup
Right out of the box, the FA- 15 comes factory- fitted with Fender Dura- Tone coated strings . These strings are designed for durability and consistent tone, ensuring:
- Longer string life
- Reduced finger fatigue
- Stable tuning performance
The guitar also comes ready to play with a well- set action, reducing the need for immediate setup or adjustments— great for beginners who want to dive into playing straight away.
