MGR/Billy « Fender CD60CE »
Published on 12/09/10 at 15:00This is Fender's middle of the road acoustic. Mahogany back and sides, nato neck and a spruce top. I'm not positive if the back and sides are real wood, but for under $300 with a case, I'm not going to worry too much.
Another thing to oh and ah over is the onboard preamp with built in tuner.
I bought this for $299 with a hardshell case, new! I played it against a bunch of other guitars in its price range and this was a no questions asked winner. It was even able to compete with guitars twice its price.
It felt great. The neck was slim, it say easy in my lap and it was just one of those guitars you didn't want to set down. The tone wasn't amazing, but it had an even tone that would make a great beater, campfire, couch or bar guitar.
The built in tuner is a nice feature. The signal mutes, so no unwanted tuning noise when you are playing live.
The strap button above the neck was a welcomed added bonus.
Nothing. I mean sure if you stack it next to a top shelf Martin or Taylor you will find fault, but I think this is a great instrument
Well built. As I said before, I think the back and sides are laminate, but I'm not certain. The craftsmanship is good, the electronics are good, the hardware is good, you're getting a ton of guitar for the price tag.
Give your Martin the night off and take this out to the bar. You'll love the playability and plugged in tone.
