Members kimona Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 I picked up a Fender F-35 Acoustic-Electric yesterday evening. Seems to be a well-built laminate in outstanding condition. Anybody know anything about these old Fenders. Serial number is 7920475. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kimona Posted May 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 Needs a proper cleaning, new nut and saddle, and jack output/strap pin. EDIT: I'll post some pics when I get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mjuenem Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 My brother has one without the electronics. I sincerely hope yours is better than his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leftync Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 I got my son a 70s F-50. Looks like Fender and many other Japanese acoustic makers were copying the Martin look shamelessly. But a nice looking guitar, with herringbone, a back stripe and inlaid (or at least inlaid-looking) headstock. OM size.Very nicely made--it's in perfect condition after 30 years--but the finish is too thick. Still, over time it's got a lovely tone. Solid top, lam rosewond b&s. Only cost about $100, so it's well worth it. I doubt you'd find as well made a solid-lam combo for less than about $400 or $500 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JerryBee49 Posted January 8, 2014 Members Share Posted January 8, 2014 I love my F-35 F 7840344. beautiful sound, easy to play. But you want to use light strings on it. Easy on the fingers that way and sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Opa John Posted January 8, 2014 Members Share Posted January 8, 2014 I used to own a Fender F-65. Bought it new in early '82. Kept it for 28 years before selling it. Not a bad guitar. Actually, the "F" series acoustic Fenders, in my opinion. were probably some of the best acoustics Fender ever built. Never had the first problem with mine the whole time I owned it.They weren't really all that cheap compared to other (better) guitars on the market at the time they were being made. (Mid 70s thru about '81).Everything you ever needed to know about the Fender F series: http://www.philsfenders.com/information.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
