Fazley FSG400DR Dakota Red electric guitar

General

Fazley's FSG400DR is an affordable electric guitar with an iconic double cutaway and a bright Dakota Red finish. Despite its price, it has many of the characteristics you'd expect to find on a model with a double cutaway, including the right looks. Two Fazley humbuckers deliver the classic double-cutaway sound that AC/DC's Angus Young, among others, has made famous. Of course, this versatile model is capable of other styles too, not just rock.

Construction

The Fazley FSG400 has a well-balanced sound thanks to its basswood body that has been given a fantastic Dakota Red finish. The maple neck with 22-frets is bolted on to the body and offers good sustain, while the rosewood fretboard is responsible for adding extra warmth to the overall sound. All in all, the combination of wood types used lay the solid foundation for this double-cutaway model.

Hardware and electronics

Building upon that foundation are two potent Fazley humbucker pickups that deliver a powerful output for heavier playing styles. Tone and volume controls per pickup give this guitar its versatility. A T-O-M-style bridge and Fazley machine heads help to keep the guitar in tune. In short, this instrument makes it affordable for those who want to rock out in style.

• Please note: the images show the guitar with a bright red finish, but the model you'll receive has a dark red finish.
