Fender's CD-60S All-Mahogany Dreadnought acoustic guitar provides an alluring introduction to the world of acoustic music. Featuring a solid mahogany top, back and sides, this instrument delivers a warm and rich tone with a balanced attack, ideal for guitarists seeking an alternative to spruce's brightness. Fender designed the CD-60S with comfort and playability in mind, equipping it with an easy-to-play neck profile and rolling the fingerboard edges for a smooth feel when sliding up and down the neck.

Solid Mahogany Top, Back and Sides

While spruce reigns supreme as the most popular tonewood for acoustic tops, mahogany has long served as a rich-toned alternative. Paired with matching mahogany back and sides, the CD-60S's all-mahogany construction produces a harmonious tone with a woody midrange and rounded highs. This wood combination is a particular favorite among fingerstyle players and singer-songwriters seeking a warm, intimate sound.

Easy-to-Play Neck Profile

An instrument's neck shape plays a significant role in how comfortable it feels to play. Fender designed the CD-60S with an easy-to-play neck profile, providing a slim, fast feel ideal for beginning and intermediate players. The rolled fingerboard edges give a smooth playing surface, allowing fingers to glide effortlessly up and down the fretboard.

Dreadnought Body Shape

The CD-60S's dreadnought body shape is known for a bold, full tone with ample projection, ideal for vocal accompaniment and ensemble playing. This traditional acoustic shape provides a robust low end, clear mids and crisp highs, allowing the CD-60S to handle a variety of musical styles with ease.

Premium Appointments

Fender selected premium tonewoods and quality hardware to craft the CD-60S. A walnut fingerboard and bridge provide a durable playing surface, while die-cast tuning machines keep the instrument in tune. Nickel-plated frets add sustain and facilitate smooth string bends. With its solid wood construction, comfortable neck and premium appointments, the CD-60S delivers exceptional value for any guitarist. The CD-60S is now available at Guitar Center.

Great value guitar and awesome for beginners.

Generally, it is a great guitar. Many of you would expect a low volume for a mahogany top, back and side guitar. However, it's dreadnought style compensates for this and thus you will have a warm mellow toned guitar whilst still having plenty of volume. The guitar looks a lot better in real life than on the photos you may see on the internet. Contrary to the CD60S spruce top (built in Indonesia), this guitar is manufactured in China. The tone difference between CD60S spruce top and this one is small as the spruce top also has mahogany back and sides. This guitar however is one with great overtones. Being a novice, it is a great starting guitar. My only complaint is that the nut and saddle are plastic. The nut, in particular, causes the guitar to be in need of tuning every 2 or 3 days. However, this disadvantage is very manageable and if you prefer, you can spend a tiny bit of money to replace the nut with a bone nut at a guitar shop. If you webchat with a guitar center rep they might be able to give you a discount to cut the cost of this guitar to the price level of the cheapest possible for a major manufacturer's acoustic guitar.

It's a beautifully made guitar even though they're made in such mass quantities I would have bought spent a little bit more money on better quality nut and bridge I will invest in the bone one top and bottom

    I recently purchased this Fender CD-60S at my local Guitar Center after selecting several Models and Manufacturers from the Website. Being able to physically handle, inspect, and play a guitar individually is key to the process, and Guitar Center offered that opportunity. I was looking for a low end acoustic dreadnaught for a "travel or camper" guitar. I considered acoustics, appearance, play-ability, and overall quality of construction, in the price range of $200 to $350. This guitar was the winner when compared to 4 brands, (seven models) including a used Epiphone Hummingbird. I am totally pleased with my purchase. Recommend this guitar to any level guitarist. I highly recommend the Guitar Center System as they basically take all the risk out of Guitar purchase experience. One note is that mine is significantly darker than what is shown in the online gallery, and it is beautiful.

  • I,be had better.

    Mine was advertised as great condition , which turned out to be a lie. The first fret has longing noises and the truss rod will not move. I'm selling this. Such waste of monry.

  • I would definitely buy this guitar again
