Fender FA-450CE Bass Acoustic Electric Cutaway - 3- Tone Sunburst

The Fender FA-450CE Bass is a fantastic acoustic-electric bass, known for its striking looks and balanced tone, making it a versatile choice for practicing unplugged or performing live.

Here are the key specifications and features for the Fender FA-450CE Bass Acoustic Electric Cutaway in the 3-Tone Sunburst finish:

Key Features

• Acoustic-Electric Design: Equipped with a built-in Fishman Preamp System (with Volume, Bass, and Treble controls) for crystal-clear amplified sound when plugged in.

• Body Style: Jumbo Cutaway. The jumbo body shape contributes to a full, resonant acoustic bass tone, and the cutaway provides easy access to the upper frets.

• Top Wood: Laminated Flame Maple. This highly figured wood not only provides an elegant, luxurious look, especially with the Sunburst finish, but also contributes a crisp attack to the instrument's sound.

• Back & Sides: Laminated Mahogany. This wood selection balances the maple's brightness with a warm, rich voice and strong resonance.

• Scale Length: 32" (Medium Scale). This is a very comfortable scale length that is a bit shorter than a standard electric bass, making it easier to navigate while still providing good bass response.

• Neck Profile: "Modern C"-shaped, offering a comfortable feel for various playing styles.

• Fingerboard: Laurel (or Indian Laurel/sometimes listed as Pau Ferro depending on the year).

• Aesthetics: Features cream body binding, a classic Viking bridge, a distinctive 'Keystone' rosette, and a modern 2x2 headstock configuration.

The FA-450CE is part of the Fender Alternative Series, aiming to deliver killer Fender tone and feel in a versatile, stage-ready acoustic package.
