Forming part of Fender’s Classic Design series, the Fender CD-60SCE is an all-mahogany electro-acoustic guitar with a cutaway and quality Fishman pickup system. The dreadnought body on this guitar combines with the mahogany tone woods to produce a big, warm sound. The cutaway massively improves access to the upper frets, while the Fender “Easy-to-Play” neck does what it says on the tin! Rolled fretboard edges also go a long way to creating a seamless playing experience, while the built-in electronic tuner is ideal for on-the-fly tuning alterations.

The dreadnought is known as the body shape which really launched the modern era of Acoustic Guitars, which means that this dreadnought-bodied CD-60SCE electro-acoustic fits perfectly into this Classic Design series from Fender. Known for a big sound, this body can really project across a room, making it ideal for performance scenarios, before you even factor in the built-in pickup system.
The Fender CD60SCE’s sound quality is really influenced by the all-mahogany construction. Mahogany is commonly used as a back and sides wood, usually combined with Spruce for the soundboard. When it is used for top, back and sides of a guitar, however, it elicits a lovely warm tonality, endearing this tone wood combination to an increasing number of musicians. Fender have also made sure that the top wood is solid, rather than laminate, ensuring that the guitar continues to sound good over a longer period of time, and will, in fact, improve with age and playing. A guitar that improves as you do!
Fender has really put a lot of effort into their acoustic line up of late, evidenced by an impressive standard in build quality on the CD-60SCE, and by the little features which only become apparent when you pick it up and play it. We’re really impressed with the comfort of the specially-designed “Easy-to-Play” neck, which is combined with rolled fretboard edges - a feature usually found on much more expensive instruments. Similarly, Fender hasn’t skimped on the pickup, which is a quality Fishman item with a very clear tuner display. Again, really impressive at the price.
If you’re looking for an affordable electro-acoustic guitar, with classic looks, impressive build quality and quality features, you can’t really go wrong with this all-mahogany Fender CD-60SCE!
