CD-60SCE Dreadnought Electro-Acoustic, All-Mahogany, with Built-in Tuner and Fishman® pickup for Playing Live, Includes Virtual Lessons, Natural

This is a great guitar. I already have the smaller bodied CC60SCE which I'm very happy with and I use it most days for practice, but I just wanted to treat myself to the dreadnought version for the slightly fuller sound. Out of the box I thought maybe it was a mistake as they felt so similar to pick up and hold, but it immediately sounded totally different, so I am really happy with it. It is beautifully made, except for one minor criticism (minor for me at least) - the plastic pickguard was not stuck on very well. In my case it didn't matter as I was hoping to remove it (I prefer the clean look of the wood and I don't need a pickguard, in fact I wish they came loose in the box as standard so the buyer can choose whether or not to stick it on). So happily for me, I was able to carefully peel it off very easily. But if you want it to stay on there, you might have been disappointed and would have had to press it down to make sure it was properly stuck on. Apart from the pickguard, the guitar looks stunning, it is beautifully made and has a great sound, and the setup is already very playable on arrival, though I may lower the action a tiny amount to make it easier to fret.

Beautiful guitar at a great price. Arrived in excellent condition and is excellent value for money.

I'm a home musician but more a keyboardist than a guitar player. I do have an electric, which I use in my music every now and then. I wanted an electro acoustic. I did look at some cheaper models that were around a £100 cheaper but as it was my 60th birthday (today actually), my wife said she'd buy me a decent guitar. I chose this as basically there wasn't a lot to choose from around the £250 mark. There were quite a few cheap guitars and then quite a few pricey guitars. This was a good compromise. Delivery was quick, but on delivery the guy from DPD dropped the box out of the back of his van. I wasn't happy! Waited a week until this morning and guess what? Yep, the pick-up wouldn't work. Contacted Amazon for a return, but they would only offer a full refund or a partial refund of 20% if I kept it. Decided to keep it. Got refunded £50 and I will buy a Fishman acoustic guitar mic, which will probably sound better anyway. So, putting aside that disappointment, let's talk about the guitar. It really is a beautiful guitar, the finish is superb and it feels lovely in the hand. It's a 41" and is a perfect size for me. The sound is lovely, really lovely. A beautiful chiming tone. I'm very pleased with it, just a little gutted that the pick-up was broken. Still, fair play to Amazon for the 20% refund. I won't let the broken pick-up put me off Fender. I'm sure it was the DPD guy what done it. One other thing to note. I got a promo code for 30 days of Fender Play for free. Code didn't work!

Amazing sound and tone! High quality for affordable price. Smooth and warm. Looks great on my wall too! Only minor detail which doesn’t effect anything is the shaving from the wood internally during craftsmanship wasn’t chiselled away properly. I have attached an image of that but other than that it’s great!

I had been looking for a Gemini II for an age, one of the nicest sounding fenders I have ever played. I gave mine away two decades ago to our local busker who had been beaten up and had his guitar busted. Since then I had been looking for anew one. Drunk the other night I bought this guitar I must have been under some alcohol induced illusion that I had found the grail. Shocked when it arrived as I had no recollection of the purchase I thought well if I bought it I had better try it out. OMG, crisp, deep sound like a Classical Hoffner and amazing action similar to my son’s acoustic Ibinez, I can’t fault it, banged out some Floyd on it, some Biffy, a few other tunes too, such a fresh warming sound. The high notes are well defined with no sharp ring or tinniness to them. I did find that heavy pick strumming the low E and A buzzed, but with a bit of getting used to and control this is negated with applying perpendicular down and up strokes... a little unforgiving and highly critical, this guitar will not let you hide your mistakes, the sound it bellows out is lush. Plugged into my amp, I was blown to the next level... well done Fender you have birthed the voice of an angel with volume of my old drill sergeant. For beginners the action feels light, but I could not comment on what wear and tear I would deliver on those fresh finger tips, but I think it would be worth learning on this guitar as it would push your mastery of precision to the next level. I will be honest the tele and the SG are gathering dust at the moment as this is my go to box... big thanks to Guinness and Glenlivet for making this union of me self and this guitar possible. Mik

the action is way too high. Makes it difficult to play

My brother in law loved it

I've had this guitar for a while now. It's a lovely guitar. The sound is quality too. I'm really pleased with it.

Die Gitarre kam sehr schnell, und super verpackt in einem doppelten Karton und gut gepolstert bei mir an. Transportschäden gab es entsprechend keine und ich konnte das gute Stück unversehrt in Empfang nehmen. Beim Auspacken dann die erste schöne Überraschung, die Gitarre sieht viel besser aus als auf den Fotos. das Mahagoni macht eine unglaublich schicke Optik und sieht absolut edel aus. Das Integrierte Stimmgerät funktioniert prima und erspart ein externes Stimmgerät. Batterie einlegen und los geht's. Die Gitarre lässt sich schön spielen und klingt für mich absolut Klasse. Einziges Manko, nach ca. 1 Woche begann die hohe "e" Saite den Ton zu einem eher unangenehm hohen Sirren zu verändern. Das würde ich aber nicht bei der Gitarre als schlecht bewerten, sondern eher bei den Saiten. Ich habe die Standardsaiten dann gegen "Elixir 16052 Acoustic Guitar Saiten 6 Acoustic Phosphor Bronze Nanoweb Coating Light" Saiten aus Kupfer ausgetauscht und die Tonqualität hat sich meines Erachtens nochmal um mindestens 50% gesteigert. Ich habe durch einen Bekannten den direkten Vergleich mit dem günstigeren Modell "Fender CD-60S BLK - Black" machen können und bin von meiner Wahl mehr als Überzeugt. Den Preisunterschied von ca. 30.- würde ich auf jeden Fall wieder in Kauf nehmen, weil die Gitarre das Wert ist. Mein Fazit: definitiv eine empfehlenswerte Anschaffung für Gitarrespieler die neu einsteigen oder ein wenig Erfahrung mitbringen. Optisch ein Highlight mit schönem, vollem Ton, ausgewogenen Höhen und leichter Bespielbarkeit.

Rapporto qualità prezzo bene. Suono eccellente

I've been playing guitar for 15+ years now and after playing on big brands, this guitar surprises me for the price. The mahogany build is great and has a beautiful tone and sustain. Pickups are undoubtedly amazing. This is not a beginner guitar as the neck is a bit thicker, when compared with a few guitars at the same price range and the action is high out of the box. I had a local luthier set the action and changed the string gauge to .10 and it sounds and plays really well now. Got it from Amazon as it's lesser than the local retailer, saved around 4k. If you like dreadnought guitars with nice deep and high tones....go for it!
