The Fender CD-140SCE is an all-mahogany dreadnought that produces a warm, mellow tone that resonates deep in your chest. It combines Fender's rich acoustic craftsmanship with modern playability, packing premium features without the premium price. It's the perfect companion for both late-night songwriting sessions and impromptu jam circles.
Tone That Takes Center Stage
Acoustic guitars often sound bright and punchy, but this all-mahogany beauty sings with a darker, sweeter voice. It breathes life into delicate fingerpicking and gives heavy strumming a rich, thick foundation. You get a bold playing experience that fills the room, making every chord feel like a warm sonic blanket.
Solid Mahogany Top: This isn't just for looks. The solid wood top vibrates freely, delivering a robust, mellow tone that only gets better and more resonant as the instrument ages.
Dreadnought Body Shape: The big, broad shoulders of the dreadnought design push plenty of air, giving you traditional full-bodied projection that easily commands a room.
Scalloped "X"-Bracing: Tucked away inside the body, this carefully carved bracing reduces weight while maintaining strength, allowing the top to ring out with superior sustain and volume.
An Unforgettable Feel
A clunky guitar neck can kill your creative vibe. That's why Fender engineered this instrument to feel like a natural extension of your hands. The neck profile invites your fingers to glide across the frets, making complex chords and long practice sessions a comfortable experience.
Easy-to-Play Neck Shape: Forget hand cramps. This neck is carved to fit your palm like it was made for it, letting you play for hours without fatigue.
Rolled Fingerboard Edges: Say goodbye to sharp fret edges. The fingerboard's smooth, rolled edges feel wonderfully broken-in from the first strum, perfect for buttery-smooth slides and comfortable chording.
Single-Cutaway Design: That stylish scoop isn't just for looks. It's your all-access pass to the upper frets, giving you the freedom to nail those high notes and explore the entire fretboard without restriction.
Plugged-In Perfection
Taking your acoustic tone to the stage shouldn't mean sacrificing its natural warmth. When it's time to plug in, the built-in electronics faithfully capture and amplify the unique character of the mahogany wood. The integrated preamp allows you to easily tweak your sound on the fly, ensuring your audience hears every nuance of your performance.
Fishman® CD Preamp: This feature-packed, industry-standard preamp translates your acoustic tone into a pristine electrical signal, perfect for plugging directly into an amp or PA system.
Built-In Tuner: Stay perfectly pitched between songs without needing to clip an ugly plastic tuner to your headstock. A quick glance at the preamp display keeps you sounding professional.
Elegant Appointments: From the gorgeous mahogany back and sides to the stylish tortoiseshell pickguard, this guitar looks every bit as premium as it sounds under the stage lights.
The Total Package for the Performing Player
The Fender CD140SCE is what happens when you combine classic design with player-friendly modern upgrades. It captures the woody, organic soul of a vintage acoustic while offering the reliability and electronic brainpower needed for today's stages. It’s a fantastic choice for any aspiring player or seasoned gigging musician who wants a dependable, beautiful instrument that feels like home the second you pick it up.
