Decent guitar with a big body

This is a decent guitar for its price. No complaints about its sound or stability but as someone who plays electric mainly, I found this guitar a bit uncomfortable because it does not have a cutaway, higher frets are very difficult to reach and I had a hard time trying to make this big body guitar sit comfortably on my lap, tried more comfortable alternatives at shops after I bought this without trying.

Solid beginner guitar for a good price!

The Fender CD-60 BK was my first steel-string acoustic that I bought after having only played classical guitar. Not being entirely sure what to purchase, I got this one due to the cheaper price and generally positive reviews.

After 2 years or so, I still play on this regularly and I think it's an excellent dreadnought type of guitar for beginners. The CD-60 looks very slick in black (although it's easy to leave fingerprints) and is very appealing. I always enjoyed the laminated texture although opinions may vary in this regard.

As far as the work goes, this guitar produces a very loud and bright sound. It plays quite well but after having played other steel string guitars, I notice that it's not necessarily the best guitar in terms of handling. However, the lower price tag makes this honestly a very good guitar. I brought this guitar to many places and played outside and inside and it still looks brand new. It is seriously impressive how robust this guitar is.

The biggest downside for me were the strings which came with the guitar. They sounded extremely "tinny" and lacked a brighter sound. I pretty much changed them on the fly with some higher quality ones which made the sound much better.

Overall, I really recommend this guitar for anyone who wants to dabble into playing acoustic steel-string guitars. It is a solid choice and very sturdy as well. It looks great and gets the job done.

Great beginner guitar

Lovely bit of equipment if you're looking for a beginner level guitar without any extras like cutaways or electronics.

Guitar has a nice warm sound to it, stays in tune well and simply looks great.

Perfect for beginners or as a backup kit that you won't be worried to bang up a bit.

Worth it's money

I've been playing the electric guitar fo years now and I bought this guitar as my first Acoustic Guitar. The finish on this instrument is really good and it's quite easy to play. I would totally recommend this guitar.

Great guitar for the price

I use this guitar for practice at home and it is great for the money. Solid build quality and sounds great for the price bracket. I recently out a slightly heavier set of strings on it and it sounds even better.

Definitely worth the money!

It is what it is, a 100 euro fender with the a great sound. I believe if you're looking for perfection you'll be looking somewhere else! With that said, great product if you compare it with its value. Not too heavy and it has a very deep sound.

Very happy I got it, totally recommended for people starting with the instrument and for musicians who wants a guitar to bring here and there without risking your good ones. I took it for a one year backpacking travel and survived the hole thing without a problem!
