Fender CD-60 V3 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar with Case

Fender CD-60 Dreadnought

The Fender CD-60 Dreadnought delivers a big, bold acoustic sound without the big, bold price tag. As one of Fender’s most popular models for beginner and intermediate players, this guitar proves you don't need to spend a fortune to get a high-quality instrument.

The CD-60 combines classic design elements with upgraded features to provide a reliable, resonant, and enjoyable playing experience right out of the box. Whether you’re strumming your first chords or looking for a dependable second guitar for campfire jams, the CD-60 offers the tone and durability Fender is famous for.

Authentic Acoustic Tone

At the heart of the CD-60 is a design built for projection and resonance. The dreadnought body shape is the industry standard for a reason — it produces a deep, robust voice that fills the room. Fender paired this classic shape with a spruce top and scalloped "X"-bracing, allowing the top to vibrate more freely for a richer, more dynamic sound.

Spruce Top: The laminated spruce top provides a bright, punchy tone with excellent dynamic range, responding well to any acoustic playing style.
Scalloped X-Bracing: By removing mass from the bracing, the top can vibrate more freely, resulting in better resonance and volume without sacrificing structural integrity.
Mahogany Back and Sides: Laminated mahogany balances the brightness of the spruce with warm, focused mid-range frequencies and adds durability for travel.

Comfort and Efficiency

A guitar that feels good to play is a guitar that gets played more often. The CD-60 features a comfortable "C"-shape mahogany neck that fits naturally in the palm of your hand, making it easier for new players to form chords and for experienced players to navigate the fretboard. The walnut fingerboard feels smooth under the fingers, while the rolled fingerboard edges ensure that sliding up and down the neck is a comfortable, snag-free experience.

Easy-to-Play Neck: The "C"-shape profile is designed to be comfortable for all hand sizes, reducing fatigue during long practice sessions.
Walnut Fingerboard: This sustainable tone wood offers a smooth playing surface and adds a touch of visual warmth to the instrument.
Rolled Fingerboard Edges: This subtle but crucial detail creates a broken-in feel, making the neck feel comfortable and friendly from the very first strum.

Premium Appointments and Hardware

The CD-60 has the look and feel of the ideal axe. Fender added thoughtful upgrades like a new mother-of-pearl acrylic rosette and a compensated saddle for improved intonation. The die-cast tuners ensure tuning stability, while the included hardshell case offers peace of mind when transporting your guitar to lessons or gigs.

Compensated Saddle: The compensated saddle improve intonation across the entire neck, so chords sound in tune whether played open or high up the fretboard.
Die-Cast Tuners: These durable tuning machines provide smooth, accurate tuning and excellent stability, so you spend more time playing and less time tuning.
Hardshell Case Included: Protect your investment with a durable hardshell case, a rare inclusion at this price point that keeps your guitar safe from bumps and scratches.
