Fender CD-60 V3 Black Guitarra dreadnought

Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar With Genuine Fender DNA

The Fender CD-60 BK V3 is a dreadnought acoustic guitar that brings the brand's heritage into the steel-string world. A laminated spruce top with laminated mahogany back and sides produces balanced, full-volume tone, while scalloped X-bracing helps the soundboard move freely for stronger projection. First-time buyers and returning players get the Fender name on the headstock without paying flagship prices.

What Sets This Model Apart

Scalloped X-bracing lets the spruce top vibrate more freely than standard straight bracing — uncommon at this price tier. Borrowed from Fender's electric line, the factory-mounted forward strap button with internal block reinforcement secures the strap without risking side panel damage.

Tonewoods That Shape the Sound

The body pairs a laminated spruce top with laminated mahogany back and sides for a tone that leans warm in the low end and clear in the mids. Scalloped X-bracing adds headroom so strummed chords stay articulate when pushed harder. A gloss polyurethane finish protects the wood from daily handling.

• Body Shape: Dreadnought — large lower bout for volume and bass
• Top: Laminated Spruce — bright, articulate character
• Warmth in the low frequencies and focused mids come from the laminated mahogany back and sides, creating a well-rounded sound profile.

Neck Profile Designed for Comfort

A mahogany neck with a "C" shape profile and walnut fingerboard sits comfortably in the left hand. The 43 mm nut width gives first-time chord shapes room to land cleanly, with twenty frets for access beyond the twelfth.

• Neck & Fingerboard: Mahogany neck, Walnut fingerboard — stable under string tension with a smooth playing surface
• Scale Length: 643 mm — slightly shorter than standard dreadnought scale, easing reach for smaller hands

Hardware That Holds Up to Daily Practice

Chrome die-cast tuning machines and a dual-action truss rod keep the guitar stable through temperature swings and long practice sessions. The walnut bridge with white bridge pins anchors the included Fender Dura-Tone 880L coated 80/20 strings (.012–.052), which offer longer string life than uncoated alternatives.

• Tuning Machines: Die-Cast — smooth, accurate tuning with reliable gear ratios
• Fender Dura-Tone 880L Coated 80/20 (.012–.052) strings are installed to provide longer tone life and stable tuning from the first play.

Built for First-Time Players and Returning Musicians

This dreadnought suits first-time players and experienced guitarists who need a reliable second instrument for travel or casual sessions. With its shorter 643 mm scale and 43 mm nut width, hand strain during long practice sessions is reduced—especially for younger players and adults with smaller hands. Early mistakes are less punishing, which makes this instrument especially forgiving for beginners.

Fender's Acoustic Heritage Since the 1960s

Although Fender is best known for its electric guitars, the company has been building acoustic instruments since the 1960s. Since the early 1980s, the brand has focused on affordable, well-made acoustics aimed at new players.
