The fender cd140sce 12 string guitar is more than it looks like. It is very well put together. Set up is spot on out of the box. Tuned up right away, after playing it, needed little bit of tuning again. But then it stayed in tune. The sound unplugged is very bright and clean. Great lows and highs, as it sings out like a choir. I can't wait to see how it does as the solid spruce top ages. The fret board is easy to play up and down the board. The guitar feels solid but not bulky, very comfortable to play. Frets are well dressed and no sharp points. It is darker on the top than the pictures show. In the photos it looks like it's a lighter blond color. But upon getting it, it's a nice beige color that really shows the grain. This is a great guitar, I highly recommend it. zZounds is amazing. They sent it in two days. This is my seventh guitar from them. They are simply the best. The hard case is okay, not great, but still worth it. I would buy this guitar again. Can't go wrong, it's a keeper.
