Fender CD-60S WN Natural Guitarra dreadnought

Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar with Solid Spruce Top

Fender CD-60S Dreadnought delivers the classic dreadnought voice to musicians who want genuine solid-wood tone without a flagship price. A solid spruce top pairs with laminated mahogany back and sides—a time-honored formula for acoustic warmth and clarity. Designed within the Classic Design series, the CD-60S suits those needing a reliable dreadnought for singalongs, home practice, or open-mic nights. Refined by a gloss finish and multi-ply body binding, the instrument stands out visually at an accessible price.

Solid Top and Scalloped Bracing at an Entry-Level Price

What distinguishes this model from others in its range is the quartersawn scalloped X-bracing beneath the solid spruce top. By reducing mass in non-critical brace areas, the top vibrates more freely, yielding a louder, more open sound that evolves as the wood ages. Rolled fingerboard edges, usually seen on pricier models, prevent discomfort from sharp fret ends during extended practice.

Body Construction and Tonal Character

Dreadnought bodies offer both volume and low-end presence. Through the combination of its tonewoods and bracing, this model achieves these hallmarks.

• Top Material: Solid Spruce — bright attack with balanced overtones that open up over years of playing
• Back and Sides: Mahogany — adds warmth and midrange focus to complement the spruce top's natural clarity
• This body features quartersawn scalloped X-bracing, ensuring the top resonates fully while maintaining stability under string tension.

Neck Profile and Fingerboard Comfort

Comfort starts with the neck, and this model is tailored for players practicing for hours, switching between chords and melodies with ease.

• Scale Length: 643 mm — standard dreadnought scale for full string tension and clear harmonic content
• Fingerboard Radius: 305 mm — gently curved surface accommodating both open chords and single-note runs
• Neck Profile: Fender "Easy-to-Play" shape with rolled fretboard edges eliminates sharp edges that fatigue the fretting hand

Hardware, Tuning Stability, and Factory Setup

Reliable hardware means your guitar stays in tune and ready whenever inspiration strikes.

• Tuning Machines: Chrome Die-Cast — smooth gears for precise tuning adjustments
• Walnut is used for the bridge, matching the fingerboard and supporting clear tonal transfer.
• Factory Strings: Fender Dura-Tone 880L Coated 80/20 (.012–.052) — coated for extended life with warm bronze character

Who Should Consider this Instrument

Beginners and intermediate players looking for their first solid-top guitar will find this dreadnought a rewarding entry point. Songwriters needing strong projection for intimate gigs will benefit from the body's natural volume. Returning guitarists and those prioritizing comfort will appreciate the rolled fingerboard edges and ergonomic neck. For those seeking real acoustic character at a reachable price, the CD-60S stands out.
