My wife very recently ordered this beautiful acoustic guitar for me as an early Christmas gift, using zZounds' short-term, interest-free payment plan (in which she and I had PLENTY of interest). It came promptly, as promised, and very nicely packed for shipping. I tuned up and began playing immediately. By now, I have played it heavily for several days, and I have 0% complaints, 100% praises! Its natural mahogany construction, with dark mahogany stain and smooth, glossy finish, gives it not only a handsome look, but more importantly, the rich, full-bodied tone and lasting quality of a traditional dreadnought. Its tight strings and hollow, tone-wood body combine to produce deep low tones, prominent midranges, and brilliant highs. This Fender's narrow (but strong) fret neck plus the body's "cutout" (flared dip) section make it an ideal acoustic for players accustomed to solid-body electrics. And speaking of electrics, this guitar has a quality, built-in Fishman pickup and tuner. The addition of an amp, though not required, adds significant volume without feedback, yet no sound coloration unless desired. For an eternally lower-end player like me, or even for a more advanced player, this guitar delivers dreadnought-sized sound, versatility, and looks for a rowboat-sized price. Although my wife and I had considered more expensive acoustic guitars, we settled on the Fender CD-60SCE. . . and didn't "settle" in the least!
