Fender CD-60SCE Solid Top Acoustic-Electric Guitar Bundle

Crisp sound and fantastic looking. Perfect! And the accessories made this a very nice investment.

I’ll start off by saying I am a novice guitar player. I’ve been playing off and on for 30 years, but more off than on. I’ve been playing on a hand-me-down Yamaha acoustic that was once a great guitar, but through many years of moving, poor storage and not doing anything other than the occasional set of new strings, that Yamaha just did not play well. One reason I was so off and on is that I could never get a clean sound from the Yamaha. I just thought I was not capable of learning guitar. Then, about a year ago, I tried out a friend’s Fender acoustic and, after apologizing in advance for my poor playing ability, found that the same chords I struggled with on the Yamaha sounded crisp and clean on my friend’s Fender, and I didn’t have to make my fingers bleed pressing the strings.
Long story made short, have your guitar set up by a professional at your local guitar shop, like I did with this newly purchased Fender. Get the action lowered, put some Elixir strings on it, and this guitar sounds wonderful. It did sound pretty good right out of the box, but I’m glad I took it in to the shop to get it set up, because it turns out the truss rod was not connected, which is why I deducted a star. That would have ended badly if I hadn’t taken it to be set up.
I did quite a bit of research before choosing this guitar, and the main reason I chose it over others was the overall good reviews it has received for the price point. I know there are much better guitars, but for a novice, I’m very pleased with the sound and quality of this guitar. I don’t see myself being “off” again now that I have a guitar that plays and sounds well, coupled with my new knowledge of how to maintain it.
As for the accessories that came with the guitar, I am a little annoyed that the description says it comes with a Fender hardshell case, but mine came with a Gearbox case. I would have bought it anyway, but I’m not a fan of inaccurate product descriptions, because there is a difference. Also, the strap is cheap, but I already had a nice leather strap for my Yamaha, and the included strap is serviceable, at least.

Overall, the guitar is beautifully finished, sounds great and, in my opinion, an excellent choice for novice to intermediate guitar players.

Almost two years ago I bought a refurbished acoustic off Amazon for $50 or so. There was something off about the guitar’s neck that made it unplayable so the company just sent me another guitar and told me to keep the old one. I thought it was awesome, but turns out the guitars were crap and I was too much a beginner to know it. I practiced a bit but the action was so high on them that it was hard to play them for long. I’ve spent a fortune on Luthier tools and gained a good bit of knowledge about guitar maintenance and adjustments trying to get those instruments to work, but there was only so much I could do with them. But this Fender came setup to play right out of the box. Its action is super low but without fret buzz. And holy cow is it beautiful. It turns out I can play bar chords which is actually possible when you don’t have to put a ton of pressure on the strings. There was a small ding on the case but it is otherwise in great shape and feels very sturdy. I think I love this kit more than anything else I think I’ve ever bought in my life. Its playability is wonderful and I really don’t like putting it down. I love this guitar.

J ai reçu la guitare dans son case
Le manche était craquer d une longueur de 8 pouces prêt des clés
Assez brisé que les cordes était collé sur les frettes
J ai demander un remplacement juste pour la guitare même si le case était déchiré sa me suffisait comme ça
Il était indiqué état neuf

J’avais déjà une Fender Malibu électroacoustique et une Yamaha APX500 et la Fender CD60SCE est de loin supérieure au niveau du son de la caisse en acajou et de la touche douce du manche de Fender. Guitare incroyable pour le prix !!! Très bon achat !!! Branchée ou non, elle a un son sensationnel !!!

After over 25 years without playing, I went to a buddy’s place and played with one of there acoustic guitar. And I got hook again. More than ever. Was looking around and found that package deal on Amazon. Got the guitar couple weeks later in Canada. Good packaging, no issue. I did bring it to a local guitar tech for a full set up. (Few adjustment needed before playing). And here I am. I use to play in my teenage time in a band. And man….this sounds good. No words. This is the best sounding acoustic guitar I ever touch. Right price (less than $600 Canadian). Guitar is awesome and sounds amazing but I think I’m more impress with the rest of the package. The hard case (Gear Lux) is a high end quality case. Tuner, spare set of strings etc…. And it is a Fender!!! Looking and sounding like one. Stop shopping and buy it. Perfect for beginners and expert players.
Cheers!
