I think it looks fine, just different that's all.

I agree with everyone about the fiesta red acoustic. The only thing I can see going for it would be that it is a great solution for a band that wants an acoustic rhythm guitar on stage but still wants all three guitars to be fiesta red. You have to admit, there is something in that. As for the other version, I think it is very nice. The Strat neck, even though it has been seen on other Fender acoustic guitars, is not my cup of tea, but on the other hand, I think it has great playability, especially for people who are accustomed to playing Strats. Is it bolt-on? Probably not

It doesn't have a bolt-on neck Bojan it's the traditional style, but I bet it looks a lot better in the flesh than on those pictures. One grumble though from me, it says in the description that the neck is bound - but it clearly isn't. I reckon that would have made it more attractive.

The Elvis Presley version (the only one they had at NAMM was in a glass display case) is all-acoustic and quite expensive, if I recall correctly.

The FR version comes as a performance guitar, complete with piezo pickup and controls - for a lot less...
