Fender CD-140SCE [2006-2010]

So if I remember correctly this guitar is made in China. It has a nato neck with a profile C. The fingerboard is rosewood.
The table is made of spruce, while the body and sides are mahogany.
The nut is plastic (which is normal for a fender this price range but not terrible at all).
Electro side it is equipped with a Fishman has three bands and a tuner that will make great service.
Mechanical conventional oil bath to finish equipping the shovel.

Junction of the 14 th inning and access to "free" the handle up to the 17th which is always nice on a folk.

So much for the "objective" part.

UTILIZATION

Now to serious matters.

The guitar I had in pognes did not leave me a lasting memory. Extremely high share for me as an electric guitar player more than anything else I prefer it by far my Giannini has the ability to be comparable to a solid body action.
Good point, however: the pan cut that I sometimes regret.
The playability is for me a poor level unless we stay mainly at the top of the handle. It would even be "tiring to play" ...
And set the guitar does not even plugged frieze (this would be the height) which can benefit from the fishman.
Otherwise it has the ability to be rather light and resistant. (A guitar beginner who fears nothing and absorbs shock).

SOUNDS

Sound level: not connected it has a little less power than other acoustic (which can not hoarse singing).
It a little fishing in the bass and lower midrange (Blame the pan cut).

Plugged it sounds great, the fishman does wonders.

OVERALL OPINION

In case you do not would not understand, I did not really hooked.
In contrast c is a very good guitar for those who're used to accompany with chords at the top of the handle, very good for beginners because it makes the fingers or as electro acoustic in spare or extra.

However I do not recommend it for anything else.

Its absolutely new price does not reflect the quality of the guitar. She would easily under 100.

Briefly go your way unless a heart stroke or a specific time and finished in need.

Dreadnought Folk Guitar Electroacoustic with Fishman Classic 4 preamp and T tuner. Wood: Mahogany, mechanical oil bath.
You can adjust the brilliance, treble / medium / low on the amp and the tuner is really super easy to use, well damn.

UTILIZATION

I'm still a beginner in that I learn only DNAS my corner, not on a regular basis. To put my level, let's say I passed the test bars, I do the picking and I'm starting to attack the effects (slide, vibrato, hammer on and pull off).

So I decided to buy a folk to move forward and make me happier than my old acoustic beginner pretty rotten.

I tried a Takamine, and I tried a Yamaha as well. I immediately liked the grip of Fender, with a handle end and enjoyable.

It is a little heavier than my acoustic, but it's very portable!

Another interesting point is guaranteed for 5 years by Fender.

SOUNDS

At the first notes, I was struck by the beauty and brilliance. It sounds "like my favorite records." Holding agreement is beautiful, full, without degradation and that makes what.

In my humble level, I find it really beautiful. Pianist first, I caught a little virus guitar, by the need to write songs. And I must say that the Fender bcp inspires me, even though I know that at 300 euros, there is certainly much better (I had the right to a demonstration of a 12-string Ibanez very, very expensive just before me, and it was beautiful), but it's really good.

Super value for money I think. I tried a Takamine 50 euros more expensive, and it did not really convinced. The sound was nice, a little dull, but I'm leaning toward the sound of the fender and convinced by the opinion of the seller on the preamp which for him was much better on the Fender.

OVERALL OPINION

UPDATE AFTER 6 MONTHS
I learned a lot. A lot. I default to be a little hard, and I spent hours and hours learning with DVDs, videos on Youtube, books and play with this guitar and I realize even better account of his quality, to have to try other more expensive models. Unpretentious in a year, I play better than some friends who have been playing 3 / 4 years, but without really having developed their skills beyond the traditional strumming. I hear even some friends folkpicking

My style is mainly rock / folk. I master the rhythmic, folk-picking, etc. ... 20/30 and I play songs from Radiohead to Sufjan Stevens, Iron & Wine, etc ... I am considering the purchase for the summer, but not a Martin because Fender is not good.
I love this little Fender. It does not Disagree. It has a nice sound, dull and warm, it is very enjoyable to play and you get tired of its look, with its polished and beautiful workmanship. Frankly, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get started.

-------------------------------------------------
For the moment, and what I play, it is only happiness. What I tape, the quality of amplified sound. It's the sound of the guitar sound, nothing less. It sounds either artificial or synthetic.
I may be starting on the guitar, but I have a lot more bottle piano / sound / home studio and I do believe I am right on the sound

It sounds fair and beautiful, and as is already very well for me because I intended to support for my pieces.

Very few records and my music on my acoustic makes me a little afraid of the blow!

It's been a year since I possde the Fender CD 140 SCE. The solid spruce top now expresses his trs high quality acoustics. With phosphorus bronze strings MARTIN Light, sound is simply superb acoustics, strong projection, and severe acute crystal hot. Plugs into an amplifier Ibanez Troubadour, the sound is gnial. Rglage opportunities are numerous on the prampli which, moreover, is dot a tuner and effective simple.L 'Aesthetics with the gloss is perfect. A year APRS purchase, despite the fact that I often play (picking, flat picking, plectrum, bottleneck), I observed no dtrioration the contrary the sound has improved.
Tip: Qd I bought it, I immediately asked the maker of the store to cut the frets a bit to lower the action. Your exact Magifique is: easy to play, without curling. Acoustics, it sounds better than a Canadian bcoup (I do not quote the well-known brand) 2 times that rating CHRE. This is a real fender Russianness.

UTILIZATION

Handle end and enjoyable (can be a handicap for big hands), the gliss is ais pan shot can easily CHAC in boxes 15 20. The weight is not excessive but trslger either; gives the impression of a solid hardware. The sound is more than adequate: good projection, Aiges crystalline low hot

SOUNDS

For picking and flat picking, it is well trs.
Amp: Ibanez Troubadour. The acoustic sound is not modified with many possible rglages

OVERALL OPINION

APRS one year of use, I am more than satisfied and I think the overall quality (sound Aesthetics, ease of play lgrement lowering the string action speaks luthier's shop) worth more than its price rel (around 270 euros new)

The CD-140 SCE is made in China.

UTILIZATION

Channel pais, a Sonoran compares with a round of Strato, it is quite pais, it needs to be done.
Access in acute: not easy. In fact the guitar is easily playable without a passage in the violin maker and a change of strings for extra-light. Originally pais with its handle and rope moves away c'tait plutt key aspect of a guitar trsmdiocre ...
Unfortunately to play more comfortably requires some small dpenser Euros. My luthier so I lowered the bridge, re-cut the nut, rgl the handle, made of extra-light strings. He also told me that the handle a little silent zigzag which is almost unacceptable for a new instrument!
Having said all APRS rglages guitar becomes much more comfortable, but it is far from the ease of play and the sound of a Sonoran.

Ergonomics: the body is so heavy plutt up the guitar right hand which is more qu'embtant for scne ... unless you want your songs to finish the Gipsy Kings.

Sound: This is not for nothing that smells good wood table with its massive pica, it sounds not bad to acoustic guitars in standards between 200 and 300.
The diffrence is obvious branch.

SOUNDS

I play acoustic composed for one of my personal groups. Otherwise I like to play Ben Harper, Alanis Morissette, Corrs, Madonna ballads and standards Fran and amricains.
No effect, no need for me with an acoustic.
Personal I tried this guitar in an acoustic amp 30W Drive and found the sound too crystalline farewell velvety. Home fortunately I connect the sound of a keyboard amp Behringer Ultratone with just a little reverb, and the sound is beautiful carrment. Not need an amp with buttons galore that eventually dforment acoustic sounds. No need to turn this natural sound as if we had an electrical business. The simplicity is the most beautiful effect. The guitar sounds like a beautifully finally unless the Sonoran even when. Certainly the quality of the pre-amp, at least one Low quality need to be a little more than mdiums leves and serious.

OVERALL OPINION

What is the tuner j'aprcie Intgr very practical, simple and efficient trs and electro sound. The rest is plutt low-end and frankly there are better elsewhere. Takamine was in the quality and comfort of play to the same price. Especially do not buy it without trying, unless you have hands in pocket and big toes hard and painless! I was at a Fender Sonoran dpart electro-acoustic but I refer to the cause of delivery pb but I had many tries before sr. Whether to make another choice I will take the Sonoran, the I could not and I had no choice because it n'tait more available and I regret it ...
