Fender GN-45SCE
Posted: Tue Feb 18, 2014 10:31 am
Has anyone played/owned this guitar? I've been getting into some of Chet and Jerry Reed's music and need a guitar more fitting of the style. I've been using a Seagull folk acoustic that I put nylon strings on but the neck's too narrow. Plus it's a steel string fitted with nylons, 'nuff said. My dad has the hybrid classical La Patrie makes with the thinner neck, but My hands can't get comfortable on it (think of that burger king commercial with the guy with the small hands). This guitar seems right up my alley. I know it's discontinued, but it pops up on ebay every now and then.
And does anyone know how it compares to the CN-240SCE which is supposedly a replacement? The only real differences I see is the thinline has an onboard tuner and the body is about an inch thinner. The GN45SCE also has a solid top and back with laminated sides while the CN240SCE only has a solid top with laminated back and sides, but all with the same woods. The only thing I question is the fender website says the CN240SCE has a nut width of 1.69" (I highly doubt the neck is as narrow as my strat).
Anyway, I'd appreciate any help on this matter
