Not sure about the guitar, but own several electric and acoustic fender or Squier, great guitars. And bought 2 from Adorama, great service.

Nice find OP! The Fender Redondo mini is on sale for the same price as well.

Looks like Amazon, sweetwater and fender has them in stock at the sale price as well.

From what I can tell the sonoran would be the winner out of the two. They appear to be the same guitar (build wise, minor differences in looks) but the neck on the sonoran is mahogany vs nato wood on the redondo. Nato wood is a bit cheaper. From reviews I've read I don't think you could go wrong with either one.

EDIT: Please disregard. Apparently Amazon (where I got my information) conflicts with what is on the Fender website. It looks like the sonoran has a nato neck as well. I would definitely go with the source and trust the information on the fender website.

The Sonoran linked in the OP is listed as having a nato neck. Is there another version that is mahogany?

This is completely wrong. Why the upvotes?

First of all, per Fender website, they both have a nato neck.

The actual differences are:
- Redondo Mini has ½ body size; 22 ¾" scale length, while the Sonoran Mini has ¾ body size; 24.1" scale length. So the Redondo is smaller than the Sonoran.
- Redondo mini is only available with Spruce top, while Sonoran Mini is available with Spruce or mahogany top

Wow, my apologies. The information noted in Amazon is where I got my information which is contrary to what is noted on fender. Good looking out.

Interesting that Adorama lists the scale as 23.3" whereas Fender lists it as 24.1" - when otherwise the copy is the same.

I'd really like to think Fender is correct, BUT — the Fender page for the Sonoran Mini also says that it's an acoustic-electric guitar:

"The Strat-style 6-in-line headstock imparts Fender's rock-and-roll attitude into this acoustic-electric instrument."

So… if it were a 24.1" scale and acoustic-electric, that's a very different thing than 23.3" scale and acoustic-only.

Yes, they are better for kids. I bought a 3/4 nylon string fender for my daughter when she was six. The nylon strings are much easier on their fingers.

It's actually a lot of fun to play with a good sound.

is not meant for kids exclusively but if that is your use case it will work.

I wish it were a 12-string. Wouldn't that be cool? A 12-string mini acoustic? For playing Mini Bowie's classic Mini Stardust
