Fender was founded in Southern California and has established a worldwide influence that extends from the studio to the stage, and beyond.

Its dimensions are 6.1x17.9x45.8 inches and it weighs 9.2lbs Review: Very good guitar for the money - To start, I play guitar because I like it, not because I am good at it. At the tender age of 63 I have a little over a year on stringed instruments and started with a bass, tried a six string and loved it, and I’ve had a yen for trying out a twelve for fun. I’d been playing twelves at local shops but I wasn’t ready to drop $500 on a sometimes instrument. As I was perusing the desertcart site I saw that this Fender was only $210, reduced from its usual $299. After a few hours of consideration I hit the button. I have had five Fenders and am a fan of their acoustics as they are good instruments for the price, and look cool. It arrived two days later in its original box. On opening it I saw that it was in pristine condition. I removed the plastic and strummed and it sounded awful. Quick research on the web told me that often twelve strings are detuned before shipping, especially if there is air travel involved. It took awhile, but I finally got it in tune after I realized how. Tune the top two in unison, the next two in unison, then tune the remaining thick strings to a normal tune. The thin strings go an octave higher. If you don’t know (and I didn’t) just keep tuning up until you hit the next E, A, D, and G. Once it was in tune it sounded good. It has held a tune fairly well since. By good I mean that it sounds good for a $300 guitar and will never hit the sounds of a top end twelve, but it is good enough for my playing abilities. Hotel California sounds amazing on it. The sound is a bit high pitched, but that can easily be solved with different strings. Plugged in it sounded nice and still retained that nice acoustic sound. Overall, I would buy this guitar again. It’s a good entry level twelve and will probably satisfy my needs for some time. It also looks good hanging on that wall. On a side note, the 9 volt battery that came with it died in a day, easily replaced. Update- The more I play this instrument, the more I like it. My son in law was over and he liked it so much he ordered one. Grab one before the price goes back up again. Review: Arrived In Box Perfect & Plays Awesome - Wow, UPS just delivered my $349 Fender CD-60SCE-12 Dreadnought 12 string guitar two days early and the box is designed so well that the guitar (with no case), arrived on Maui, HI perfect !! I put my strong Kyser 12 string capo on the second fret because I tune down my guitar to make it play easier. I opened Youtube and typed in, Tune Your 12 String Guitar [Easy Way], this will make sure you are on all of the correct octaves in E tune and will not break any strings tuning. Just tune the guitar with the capo on it. I can't believe how nice this guitar plays for the price, I love it !! I am very happy with all of the hardware and craftsmanship and finish. I put the battery in and plugged it in to the amp. Really clean and clear sounds and then added some effects. I don't turn up my treble to much when I plugged in a 12 -- this clears any string buzz. So I hope you can tell how happy I am with this purchase !! Awesome 12 string production from Fender. ## Features - One right-handed Fender CD-60SCE-12 12-string Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar - Dreadnought Body: This guitar's dreadnought body shape resonates with a bold and rich bass tone, great for playing country, folk or bluegrass - Premium Materials: Solid spruce top with scalloped "X" bracing, mahogany back and sides, mahogany neck, and walnut fingerboard all come together for a deep and rich satisfying sound - Enhanced Playability: Easily enhance and control your sound with the built-in Fishman Classic Design pickup/preamp tuner - 2-Year Limited Warranty: Fender guitars are built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw- which is why Fender warrants this Fender acoustic guitar to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two (2) years from original purchase ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01N4RZJ5T | | Back Material Type | Mahogany | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,142 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #40 in Acoustic-Electric Guitars #109 in Acoustic Guitars | | Body Material | Mahogany | | Body Material Type | Mahogany | | Brand | Fender | | Brand Name | Fender | | Color | Natural | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 265 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Walnut Wood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885978797103, 00885978875528 | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | Piezo | | Hand Orientation | CD-60SCE - 12 | | Included Components | Built-in tuner | | Instrument | guitar | | Instrument Size | 12-String Guitar | | Item Dimensions | 40 x 16 x 5 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 40"L x 16"W x 5"H | | Item Type Name | Fender CD-60SCE 12 String Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Dreadnaught Body Style - Natural Finish | | Item Weight | 5 Grams | | Manufacturer | Fender Musical Instruments Corp. | | Manufacturer Part Number | 0961707021 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | CD-60SCE | | Model Number | 0970193021 | | Neck Material Type | Mahogany | | Number of Strings | 12 | | String Material Type | 1 | | Top Material Type | Spruce Wood | | UPC | 885978797103 885978875528 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2-year limited. | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Mahogany - **Body Material:** Mahogany - **Brand:** Fender - **Color:** Natural - **Fretboard Material Type:** Walnut Wood - **Guitar Pickup Configuration:** Piezo - **Hand Orientation:** CD-60SCE - 12 - **Neck Material Type:** Mahogany - **String Material Type:** 1 - **Top Material Type:** Spruce Wood ## Images ![Fender CD-60SCE 12-string Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar, Natural - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CVhDJydeL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is Guitar Model Number 0970110421 a full size dreadnough with solid spruce top?** A: Yes, it is a full-size dreadnought with a solid top. **Q: does this take an amplifier? it says "electric" but i don't see a plug** A: Just got one, has no plug to connect to an amp.
