Fender knows the importance of sound reinforcement. From the simple box-top mixer to today's professional touring concert systems, the need to communicate, to make the connection between the performer and the audience is foremost in Fender's mind.

Perhaps no other single piece of gear can make or break your band's sound. You see, your sound system is more than just a combination of dials, wires and speakers. It is an integral part of the audio chain and should be treated with special care and attention to detail.

At Fender, we know what building quality musical instruments and sound reinforcement equipment is all about. In fact, many of the world's best sounding electric musical instruments and sound reinforcement equipment proudly wear the Fender name.

Whether you need a simple box top powered mixer for your Saturday afternoon jam, or a professional full-size concert system, Fender has the sound reinforcement equipment to meet your needs.

Wishing you years of enjoyment and a heartfelt thank you,

The Fender 215S and 215SC are integral parts of the iconic Fender acoustic guitar lineup, representing a synthesis of traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. These models are a testament to Fender's commitment to delivering high-quality instruments for guitarists of all levels, from amateurs to professionals.

The Fender 215S features a solid Sitka spruce top, known for its excellent projection and balanced tone. The back and sides are made from mahogany, which contributes warmth and depth to the overall sound.

In contrast, the 215SC model introduces the convenience of onboard electronics, making it an ideal choice for performing musicians. The built-in Fishman Presys pickup system includes a sonic enhancing preamp and a built-in tuner. This feature allows for easy amplification while maintaining the guitar's natural tone. The Fishman system captures the nuances of the guitar's acoustic sound, ensuring that players can deliver a powerful performance on stage or in a studio setting.

Both models share several key features, including a 20-fret mahogany neck with a comfortable slim profile, making it easy to play for extended periods. The fingerboard is adorned with dot inlays, and the overall craftsmanship showcases Fender's attention to detail. The guitars also sport a classic dreadnought body shape, providing a robust sound projection and resonant bass response.

The glossy finish highlights the natural beauty of the wood grain, while the traditional rosette adds an element of elegance. They come equipped with durable Fender tuning machines, ensuring stable tuning and intonation throughout performances.

Additionally, both models feature a double-action truss rod, allowing for easy neck adjustments over time, providing longevity and playability in different climates. The instruments are built with a sturdy construction, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of frequent travel and performance.

In summary, the Fender 215S and 215SC combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, offering exceptional sound quality and playability.
