Fender Acoustic Guitar, CD-60S, with 2-Year Warranty, Dreadnought Classic Design with Rounded Walnut Fingerboard, Glossed Finish, All-Mahogany Construction

Great product for playing Guitar, Fender Strings are high quality the balance of the guitar is great for flatpickers and the body has such great resonance that drives the soul to sing and play with joy. I love the texture of the body and the film of lacquer glistens with glory and well made grade of art only known by Fender. A must have for the guitarist who is on the fly and is in need of a high reach neck for good grade playing in the third position. Beautiful tone and rich quality of remark due to great craftsmanship needs more attention and buyers! The price is set right and a great bargain for the good you get.

The media could not be loaded. So I will start by saying I am a complete beginner. My new years goal for 2023 was to finally learn to play guitar a bit. I do NOT aspire to be an amazing musician or anything. I’m 38 and a stay at home mom. I want to be able to play songs around the fire pit or sing some Christmas songs with my kids. Basic stuff.I first ordered a beginner guitar from Amazon that was super cheap. But. When I started playing it, that’s exactly how it felt. Super cheap. I felt like I was playing a toy. So that same week I decided I needed to spend a little more money and get something a bit more real.I looked and just completely fell in love with the look of this one. I loved the dark wood and the glossy look of this guitar. I was worried about it being too big for me to hold comfortably though.When it arrived, the look of it was just stunning. I mean. It is GORGEOUS! Everyone who sees this guitar gives me compliments. It IS big for me and at first I thought I might return it but couldn’t bare to part with it since it was so stunning.Over the past few months that I’ve had it, I’ve gotten used to the size. The size just feels normal now.I got this in the spring and haven’t devoted much time to trying to learn playing. I mostly watch YouTube videos and did a subscription to the Justin Guitar app for a few months. I can play C, A, G, E, D, a modified F, Em, Am, and Dm. And with my capo that means I can attempt to play many songs.I don’t really have much to compare this guitar to, except for the cheap guitar I bought first, but this guitar is perfect for me.It came tuned and has really for the most part stayed in tune. The sound sounds good to me. I share this video of me playing, but be aware that I’m still getting the hang of pressing the strings close enough to the frets/hard enough to have the notes ring out clear without buzzing. I’m still getting the hang of it.Overall, I think this was a great guitar for me as a complete beginner. I also think it would be perfect for experienced players. It was an AMAZING price! And the look of it is so stunning. The dark wood and glossy finish are jaw-dropping. I’m so pleased with this purchase! And I’m excited to learn to play better.

A step up in quality from my beginner model. The sound quality and action are an exciting improvement. I am already improving. Beautiful finish too!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I’ve been playing guitar for 33 years. I just wanted a guitar to take to the beach and not worry about it getting banged up because a lot of musicians like myself are on a tight budget. The sound and feel of the guitar is amazing. Fender has yet to let me down on any of my guitars.

Out of the box I’m thinking it would be perfect connected to a good acoustic amplifier using a decent pickup. It plays nice and easy, but for its size I would expect more sound, but it is quiet. It’s a Fender. I read that Fender sends them out with Fender strings. Maybe, I’m just used to the feel being a little more taut, but since it is a Fender and the strings are Fender I would assume you would put the stings that best accentuate the instrument’s sound. So different strings might not help. I’ve got a few ukulele’s that are too quiet, even for ukulele’s but sound amazing plugged in, so like I said some electronics and a decent amplifier might make it perfect, but the friends I hang out with on occasion don’t allow electronics and I usually end up surrounded by a banjo a mandolin, a Martin and a BlueRidge, and I’m pretty sure that even with my loudest, and brightest I’ve played whole songs on occasion in the wrong key totally unaware because no one could hear, not even me. So, a good practice guitar it is, but for jamming, maybe if I sit near the back of the room, at least I’ll be able to hear it. But it is beautiful and it’s mine…

I bought the parlor guitar (cp60s) but it was damaged so Fender sent me a concert guitar (cc-60s) as a replacement because they don't have the parlor in stock. So first of all a big thank you to the superb customer service from Fender.So now I have the chance to compare these two guitars. The parlor guitar is set up alright and it feels good on the finish. The light weight and small size make it a perfect second guitar for travel. However the tone is not balanced - meaning that it resonates (amplifies) too much on the highs. So you will need to make some hardware adjustment (adding some weight to the bridge by changing the plastic pins, etc.). As the other customer pointed out, the strings are a bit too heavy ... well I think it's one way by design to balance the tone. I can feel that the guitar is struggling when it's played. So if you really care how it sounds and like the look, I would suggest you go to a guitar store to find the right tone for you, not ordering it online.The concert guitar has a much fuller tone. It has a slighter wider body and a longer neck. I really enjoy it. However, the setup was terrible when it came. Someone completely loosened the truss rod, so the neck relief was way too much. The guitar was built overseas and inspected in California. I wonder if Fender pays them not so well so the inspectors simply rushed it out. If you are not sure how to adjust the truss rod, read Fender's manual or watch the online video from Gibson's head luthier. Once that was corrected, the guitar sounds great with some focus on the mids now which I love.Overall they are both great guitars. The polish and the feel are great. The frets on the parlor need some polish, but the concert feels smooth. So plan to do some setup - you will find the tone you love too.
