Beautifully Designed 6-string From Fender

A classic dreadnought with big tone and stage-ready design, the Fender CD-140SCE puts incredible playability in your hands at a wonderful price point. This intelligently designed acoustic features a solid spruce top and ovangkol back and sides for full midrange and high-end tone with a solid low end — that classic blend of tone that so many artists have fallen for over the decades. A gorgeous mahogany neck with walnut fingerboard is incredibly playable and responsive. And when you are ready to plug in, Fishman CD electronics are onboard to deliver stellar amplified acoustic tone.

Stellar amplified tone

The Fishman CD pickup system in the CD-140SCE gives you plenty of tone-shaping options. There are bass, volume, and treble tone controls so you can dial in your ideal sound. And a built-in tuner ensures you stay in tune while onstage or at home — a feature we really appreciate here at Sweetwater.

Neck built for play!

Pulling off engaging riffs and chords on the CD-140SCE is a breeze with the smooth, responsive mahogany neck and walnut fingerboard. The deep cutaway also provides wonderful access up the neck for those higher notes and interesting chord shapes. And a genuine walnut bridge and NuBone saddle support your tone as you play, enhancing the overall resonance of this wonderful instrument.

Happy With It.

I'm very happy with the guitar, but what I'm really impressed with, is how it was shipped. Unreal job packing it up. Very nicely done. Thank you very much for putting a lot of effort in to protect the guitar during shipment.
Rated 5/5

Easy to play

Love my new Fender! Easy to play, no tuning issues. It was tuned when I got it out of the box. I would recommend this guitar to any beginner or intermediate player out there. Already comes with a new bone nut and saddle, not plastic. Sounds great!
Music background: Beginner

Rated 4/5

Great guitar

Great guitar. I will say that I am NOT happy at all with the sticker. It's useless and sticks like crazy. I'm still working days later to get the adhesive off. For a guitar that is not cheap, a useless marketing sticker like this should either be non-existent or a higher quality sticker that peels easily.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
