Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? This guitar seems to be made very well Reliability How has it stood up over time? I have only had it for two weeks but it should last along time if you take care of it. It is an acoustic so you can't bang it around like an electric.Treat her right an she'll stay around for the ride!!! Overall Your general opinion of this product. This guitar is sweet it was set-up right an was ready to go right out the box. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? the neck feels great,like my fender strat Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? It is bright sounding but has nice lows Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The finish on it was nice mine was the sunburst it is very nice it goes good with the side's an back stain color. Action How was the action out of the box? The aotion to me was like playing my strat

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Cheaply manufactured overseas. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Only owned it for two weeks and am now sending it back, so I don't know about the reliability. Overall Your general opinion of this product. This guitar is an absolute piece of garbage. Fender is one of the most reputable guitar makers of all time, but this guitar was made for naive parents who are trying to get their kids to take up a hobby. After two weeks and changing the strings, the machine heads can't keep the strings in tune for any sustained period of time, and the action is so high it will slice into your fingers and cause soars. DO NOT BUY THIS GUITAR. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? This is a very lightweight guitar. Feels like it's made out of balsa wood. The rosewood neck is not smooth, and it takes effort to slide your fingers up and down the neck. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The tone is very one dimensional and muted. Sounds like your hearing a guitar through a wall. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The "look" of this guitar was it's only redeeming quality. Action How was the action out of the box? The action is wicked terrible. The strings are about 3/4 of an inch off the fretboard and slice into your fingers. Nearly impossible to play.
Terrible "stock" guitar.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Cheaply manufactured overseas. Lightweight, very cheap feel. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Only owned it for two weeks. Overall Your general opinion of this product. This guitar is absolute garbage. I now see why it was only $200 with an instant rebate. Fender is one of the most highly reputable guitar makers of all time, but this guitar is a complete and utter bust. I've owned this guitar for two weeks now, changed the strings, and adjusted the truss rod and am still unable to keep the strings in tune. Switching from chord to chord, the strings do not stay in pitch, and I am unable to go through chord progressions without having to stop after every chord and re-tune the strings. The actions is terrible: the strings lay 1/2 an inch off the fretboard and tore into my fingers, and I now have calouses. The tone of the guitar sounded muted and very one dimensional. I'm convinced this guitar was designed by Fender for purely aesthetical reasons such as being displayed in magazines or tv commericals as opposed to being a genuine instrument that is playable. DO NOT BUY THIS GUITAR UNLESS YOU WANT SOMETHING PRETTY TO HANG ON YOUR WALL. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The guitar as a whole is very light. It almost feels like it is made of balsa wood. I polished the neck with guitar polish and it still does not play smoothly. The machine heads DO NOT keep the strings in tune for any sustained period of time. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The tone sounds very one dimensional, almost as if listening to someone playing a guitar from behind a wall. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The "look" of this guitar is it's only redeeming quality. Out of the case it looked very nice, and I was extremenly excited to play it, until I did actually play it. Action How was the action out of the box? The action on this guitar was arguably the worst action on any guitar I've ever played. The strings were a 1/2 an inch off the neck and tore into my fingers as I tried to slide them up and down the neck or even play basic chords.
Great guitar for the price.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Def made well for being made in China. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Only had it for a couple days now but I imagine it will be very reliable. Overall Your general opinion of this product. This cd60 is great for the money. Strings aren't too good but you always want to change them when you buy a new guitar. I have alot of more high end guitars an just wanted one that I could take anywhere. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Neck is great, I can move pretty fast up the neck. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Its def bright once you put different strings on. Never use factory strings lol Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Perfect.. you can see your reflection in it. No chips or cracks! Action How was the action out of the box? Setup is great.. very easy to play.
