A Classic Design Designed for Accessible Fender Sound
Part of the Classic Design series, the CD-60S is positioned as a Fender folk guitar designed to offer a genuine playing experience and rewarding tone, without unnecessary complexity. In this All-Mahogany version, mahogany is highlighted to enhance the warm and balanced character of the instrument, while maintaining the "ready-to-play-anywhere" DNA: at home, outdoors, or in a café-concert setting.
Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
The Fender CD-60S Dreadnought is aimed both at beginners seeking a comfortable and encouraging guitar and at intermediate players looking for a reliable folk guitar for accompaniment. Its Dreadnought shape and balance make it very comfortable in pop, acoustic rock, folk, and chanson, with a nice presence both with a pick and fingerstyle.
The Sound
The solid mahogany top delivers a distinctive tonal color: rich mids, a smooth high end, and a natural attack, very pleasant for both strumming and fingerpicking. The laminated mahogany back and sides enhance stability while maintaining a warm and balanced signature. The scalloped "X" bracing promotes a freer top, improving projection and dynamics, with natural sustain for arpeggios and open chords.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This guitar comes factory-equipped with Fender Dura-Tone 880L Coated 80/20 (.012-.052) strings: if you appreciate their feel and brightness, sticking with this gauge is an excellent choice to preserve comfort and tension balance. For transport and protection, a Flat-Top Dreadnought case is recommended (not included).
