No longer available at zZounds
The Fender CD-60 is a finely constructed guitar. With a Spruce top and compensated saddle, the Fender CD-60 offers classic looks and sound.

Available in striking Sunburst, Black, and Natural finishes, the Fender CD-60 is a dreadnought guitar with construction and tone worthy of any stage, at a truly entry-level price. Part of their Classic Design Series, the Fender CD-60 features a laminated Spruce top, Mahogany body, and Nato neck all topped with a traditional Polyurethane gloss finish. These tone woods were carefully selected and combined to deliver a rich, balanced tone, equally suited to strumming, fingerpicking, or intricate lead work up and down all 20 frets of the CD-60. The Sonokeling bridge and fretboard work together to produce a present and defined punch, while the compensated saddle ensures that no matter what stacked jazz voicing you throw at it, the Fender CD-60 will deliver it in tune, all the time. Other tasty appointments on the Fender CD-60 include a black pickguard, black body and neck binding, black bridge and end-pins, dot position inlays, and multi-ABS inlays on the soundhole rosette. The CD-60's headstock is adorned with a gold silkscreened Fender logo and chrome die-cast tuners, with a 1.69-inch width at the nut and 25.3-inch scale length.

Fender CD-60: That's Not All, Folks!


You might be shocked to find out that even with such an incredibly affordable price on the CD-60, Fender saw fit to include a form-fitting hard shell case, for free! The Fender CD-60 ships set up with a set of Fender 60L Phosphor Bronze Strings, Gauges .012 to .053. As you can see, with the CD-60 Fender has managed to read more create an all-around working man's dreadnought at a price even a beginner can handle, without any compromise in tone, construction, or design. read less

This will not be my go to guitar once I learn to play better. I will probably pass this guitar on to a friend that is wanting to learn. Next time I will spend a bit more and go with a non-laminated guitar, maybe a Takamine or an Epiphone. For the price, and for a beginner, this guitar is a good starting point.

Sound
For an inexpensive guitar the sound is very good. I replaced the strings as soon as I got it with some Clapton Martin strings and that helped a lot.

Features
No real features, unless you count the case, which is very nice.

Ease of Use
I am a beginner but have tried playing several different guitars and I found this one to be very playable...the neck is very fast and smooth.

Quality
For an inexpensive guitar with a case this guitar was a nice surprise. The case was very nice, the body looks clean, the finish is very good. My only trouble was when I was changing strings...it was the hardest I have ever changed. The pegs did not want to stay in the holes...they kept popping out. After a long struggle, the strings finally stayed put and the sound is very nice. As a beginner guitar this really does the trick, but of course I will be upgrading as I learn.

Value
For the price this guitar is a great deal...especially with the nice case. It is not the best guitar of course, but you get your moneys worth. If you read more want a descent starter guitar this is a good one, but don't expect it to be your only guitar.

Manufacturer Support
I have not had to deal with Fender but working with Zzounds is always a pleasure. Any time I have a question they are quick to give me the right answer.

The Wow Factor
Looks are always a matter of opinion but I think it looks very nice. I got it in natural and am very happy with the looks.
