Big-bodied All-mahogany Dreadnought Tone
The CD-60S All Mahogany Dreadnought hits every note when it comes to what new or emerging players require on their journey toward mastering the guitar. This heavy-duty dreadnought features a solid mahogany top, mahogany back and sides, a comfortable easy-to-play profile, and a smooth walnut fingerboard with rolled edges. This instrument’s large dreadnought body size and classic tonewoods deliver a huge, full-bodied sound with ample projection for vocal accompaniment, solo work, and many other “unplugged” applications. The instructors of Music often recommend Fender Classic Design guitars like the CD-60S to their beginning — as well as intermediate — students because they offer a combination of quality, playability, looks, and value that can’t be beaten.
Take in the warmth of all-mahogany tone
Spruce may be the most popular top wood for an acoustic guitar, but mahogany has long served as the second-in-command soundboard timber for its incredibly warm and rich tone. Its round attack and balanced response make it a particular favorite among fingerpickers, singer/songwriters, or musicians who prefer a slightly darker and more old-school sound. Paired with a matching set of mahogany back and sides, this guitar’s smooth, smoky tone is an excellent alternative for any guitarist seeking an alternative to spruce’s brightness.
Comfortable Fender “easy-to-play” neck shape
Perhaps more than any other part of the guitar, the shape of the neck largely determines the “feel” of an instrument. An unwieldy neck can quickly put off a player first picking up the 6-string, which is why Fender spec’d this acoustic-electric with their “easy-to-play” profile. Smooth, fast, and not too substantial, Sweetwater guitarists find that the easy-to-play neck is a supremely comfortable shape, sure to inspire any aspiring strummer. Moreover, the fingerboard edges have been rolled to give you an incredibly sleek feel when sliding up and down the neck.
