Saw this guitar in a guitar shop, watched this video and read the comments and immediately bought it. I love it! Feels good having a guitar again after 6 years.
Top stuff. It's such a rich sounding guitar.
I've owned my CD60 Mahogany for 6 years. It sounds better as the years go by. Great review.
That's great to hear. My CD60 is sounding better with age too.
I was very tempted by CD60 or Yammy 800 but went for a Tanglewood mahogany, such a deep rich tone it sounds lovely. For £100 which is insane value.
I've been playing for +20 years and last week got a brand new CD60S, my first Fender. Having a well built guitar improves your playing.
Yes, agree... It allows you to develop in new ways
Aside from the convincing review itself, which made up my mind about purchasing it as bday present for my sis-in-law, I like the stuff you played. Those melancholic open chords are my cup. Two reasons for subscribing.
Thanks. That's awesome. New stuff planned and underway.
Great honest review. To the point. I am buying one next week. Thanks so much
Thanks. And great choice. Excellent guitar with mojo.
Been on the fence about buying this guitar. Great Video Man..
I feel the same way. I found a used Fender cd60 and I fell in love. Can’t stop thinking about it.
An amazing bargain in a sea of budget guitars
I seen this guitar at guitar center out of all the guitars this one stood out very beautiful
A rare gem that looks good, sounds better and costs very little
great review!!!
Love your description at around the 4:00 mark "... the dusty end of the neck.....". Describes my guitars perfectly.
Ha ha... Yeah, I think I heard one of the guitar gods describe it that way once and found it comfortingly humourous
the best review of this guitar, thanks man
Most welcome
great review - purchased CD60 Mahogany today!
Nicest sounding acoustic I've ever had. And I've had some expensive ones from big name brand over the years. Must have a gem.
I purchased this 4 yrs back, best purchase…
Brilliant review and nicely presented.
Thanks friend
Thank You very much Pete! Greetings from México🇲🇽 Saludos
You're welcome. Great guitar. Using mine for recording right now
Bought it on Friday. Tuesday it will be here. Bought mine in black.
Thanks Bro, you are a Legend, I'm a begginer and thus is just what I needed, sounds great, your a Rockstar I'm ny book. 😎 👑🍻
You're welcome 😁
Really nice review mate
You're most welcome
Just bought on Amazon.
Great vid
I use mine for recording
I've been sitting on buying this guitar for quite awhile, i think that you've sold it for me 😅, I'm definitely purchasing it soon! You're playing is very beautiful friend, let the music carry you.
Great choice. It's a superb instrument that will serve you well
Thanks for the review. I bought this for a buddy of mine…
Great choice. Love mine to bits. Check this out ua-cam.com/video/0jzrANtkdv0/v-deo.html
Good to see a review using slightly dischordant open chords. Seems that lot of cheaper guitars I've tried seem to struggle with these overtones and harmonics you get with open tuning, so its interesting to hear this one managing pretty well. Wondering if you have also tried out the Yamaha FG850, which would seem to be Yamaha mahogany equivalent ? I thought the FG850 was best guitar I've ever played at the price point, seriously considering picking one up, but I haven't yet tried this Fender...
Thanks. It's well worth the budget price
Super! The guitar gives a very soft sound!
Thanks. And yes, it's a very expressive sound
EPIC! Thanks. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
You are welcome. Great guitar. I'm using it regularly for recording now
@@PetesGuitarUniverse🙏🏼
Nice video/ Thx you!
You're welcome
Great review, and totally agree with your thoughts
Thanks. Appreciate your comment
@@PetesGuitarUniverse I've actually bought the guitar since, based on your video and I love it. Thank you.
@@pjhughes3678 excellent news. Hope it's all you hoped for. Great purchase
I'll buy this Fender all mahogany next week!
Nice choice. Sure you'll dig it.
Thanks for addressing the playability.
You're very welcome
Recently bought this guitar. Exceptional value for the price. I would say it even beats some guitars in 350$ range. As mentioned, there is no sound distortion / muddyness, happy with the purchase. Initially wanted to buy Yamaha F310TBS, but I'm happy i didnt.
Perfect. Great choice. The CD60 does indeed beat much more expensive guitars. I had a £650 acoustic that I sold be used the CD60 sounds THAT good.
No problem recording with a full acoustic guitar. I've recorded on my tascam recorder using the built in internal microphones.
That should work nicely. Acoustics sound best when recorded with a live mic
thanks pete. great review. the guitar look and sound is absolutely beautiful. question: if you were playing a show with this guitar, how would you amplify the sound? cheers mate
An SM57 pointed at the sound hole, or if other loud instruments affect the mic or guitar feedback, then just fit a hole block to cut down on the resonance, and maybe a wired pup??
@@PetesGuitarUniverse thanks mate
I just bought this Guitar at Guitar Center 2 weeks ago. Ive wanted to learn to play for years. Honestly I now feel really good about picking this one. Being a total beginner I had no idea what was the best Guitar to learn on. I have to credit the look and feel or this and some of the other musicians that were hanging out in the store that day for really helping me out with what to buy what to expect and really giving me that last boost to leave with a instrument. I was really down to this one and a Yamaha model. The feel of the Fender even in my hands just seemed good. When they played it and showed me a few things on this one then I played a few chords in the store I was sold. At about $200 this Guitar looks much more expensive. I think the all Mahogany looks very classy.
Fantastic feedback. Great choice made. Sure it will be a great friend to nurse you through the learning years and beyond.
@PetesGuitarUniverse thanks mate. Hopefully so. This is still the beginning of my journey with it.
So far it's fun and challenging.
@@MrMikey1273 be creative. Don't get too bogged down with rules and notation. Play by ear to start with.
@PetesGuitarUniverse for now I've been working on learning some basic chords that I'm learning from the Fender app. I'm just working on getting my fingers used to playing and playing those chords clearly. I sort of looked up some tabs and tried to play Wish you were here by Pink Floyd. I really wasn't good at it but it was a good exercise in learning to change chords slowly trying to pick over the song.
I got my hands on a lesson book from the band instructor at the school I do IT work for so I'm going to have a look into that too.
I know learning scales and reading sheat music is good but doesn't really feel fun at the moment.
When recording, you'd want to place the mic at the 12th fret right? You've got the mic right at the sound hole, so you're getting a lot of the bass.
I'm buying this guitar and I can see I've made the right choice. Great video! I think your electric guitar behind you is the same as mine too which is strange, and Nirvana's Unplugged album got me into the acoustic side of things too. I can't wait to get hold of this guitar!
We both have good taste then! Ha ha... Both great guitars!
@JPS I've had mine for a couple of months now and it's really great. It sounds superb and is easy on the hands.
I love this sound!!!
Beautiful acoustic
@@PetesGuitarUniverseI bought it yesterday. It will arrive tomorrow in my city, thank you!
@@hardfolk good luck. Let us know!
I feel Better listen to the demonstrations, I ordered one not knowing how it might sound.
Great review! Just a question, will I need to tune the guitar when it comes out of the box (I’m a beginner)
Hi, yes, every guitar needs tuning pretty much every time you okay it. Tuning is easy. Just get a tuner that clips in to the headstock. Only take a minute.
hi! great review, i don’t love playing with a pick, how is it playing without one?
Plays like a dream, projects the true tone of the string and the wood. I play finger style a lot with it normally
It's hard to gauge sound quality on you tube on your phone but it seems good for the price. But i went for Tanglewood TWCRD in mahogany at £99 it's a steal, it has such a deep rich tone with character... i love it 🙂
Affordable guitars have really come a long way in recent years
@@PetesGuitarUniverse they sure have... look good, well made & good sound. It helps people get into learning guitar without paying a fortune 🎸 Thanks for reply too 🙂
@@PetesGuitarUniverse hi, totally understand why u deleted my share of my Facebook page it wasn't spam I'm just trying to help people to start guitar & help each other. But i respect your decision buddy. 🎸👍
@@bighes100 hi. I've kept your post (above). Don't remember deleting your other post, but I do generally delete posts that are unnecessarily critical or negative without being constructive. So maybe it was like that?? But anyways... Our community is about respect and constructive feedback. As a general rule.
Hi thanks so much for the review, it's convinced me to buy the solid top version! Question though... I've small ish female hands, as a total beginner i do find it hard to play steel strings. Will this still be a good beginner bet for me? Thanks :)
Yes, definitely. The neck is not too fat. Your fingertips will become resistant to string pressure the more you play. And you can fit thinner strings if it's an issue initially. Go for some 'extra lights'. Move up to regular thickness after you've acclimatised. Good luck
@@PetesGuitarUniverse thanks Pete! Very helpful.
That's a really nice review! Before I hit buy, I wanted to ask you about the action on the guitar out of the box. For a beginner, it is a little daunting to pull things apart and sand down the bridge if it's really necessary. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that, especially given your luthier skills.. :)
It's totally fine. It would only need adjustment if you put thinner or thicker strings. But standard it will play nice and be intonated correctly
I just bought this guitar (well actually the CDSCE ) and am loving it so far. Quick question: What gauge strings are standard on the CD?@@PetesGuitarUniverse
@@RogerJermyn they're extra lights' I believe. I just went up to lights (11's) and it's made the playability and tone a little worse actually, so going to back to extra lights (10's)
How can I mod it cause I play lead and I bought it and had trouble playing 45 by the gaslight anthem and some other songs I can’t think of currently that involve around the 12-24th fret also bought mine when my electric didn’t sound or feel the same playing karma police and fake plastic trees by radiohead
You'll need a guitar with a body cutaway to allow you to access the higher notes easier. Not really what dreadnoughts are for.
These things are wonderful for the money!
Agreed. If there's a better quality acoustic for such little money, I've never found one in 30+ years of playing
Is the entire guitar a solid mahogany or are the back and sides a laminate like the CD-60S with the spruce top?
All mahogany I believe, except for the fretboard
Looking at these also -- Fender website says back and sides are laminated mahogany.
I'm about to Buy this one, i have question. Does the wood changes the sound of the guitar? Sunburst or Mahogany make any difference?
Sunburst is just a finish on the wood. But having said that, different woods do affect the tone. Hence the terms 'tonewoods' in guitar building. Mahogany is known to be dark and complex, for example.
@@PetesGuitarUniverse I just bought the all-Mahagony. I cant believe It, the quality Is amazing
@@untipocualquiera2203 great purchase. It'll be great for you for years!
I was looking to get an inexpensive guitar like the £99-£109 FA125 fenders. Then I saw the CD60 plus the V3 ver. At £130 And this at £158.
Then it snowballed in price as I saw the Ibanez aw54 and 54JR also mahogany or okoume.
Then there is the Takamine one's.
I really like to play fingerstyle melodic/mellow (sadder?) Intrumental tracks and perhaps this all mahogany is the one.
Not too expensive, good sound and she looks beautiful
I've had all the other brands you mention, they're all good. This Fender CD60 has a heck of a lot of tone. My fave so far.
@@PetesGuitarUniverse Will see tomorrow! You've pretty much convinced me, and I ended up ordering the CD60S All Mahogany from Scan UK, but as they do a free professional Set up it is delayed for 1 extra day. I wanted the Ibanez one's but they are definitely more pricey. At £100 more. Whilst this CD60S is nearer to my original target which was the FA125/CD60 price band wise and midway from the more expensive Takamine GD51 or the Ibanez one's.
Somehow as I got older, I just like the more mellow instrumental reminiscent kinda of acoustic fingerstyle music. Time to learn even more mellow/reminisce type of tracks ! =)
@@T.K.9 you will love this guitar I can guarantee it. Great choice.
do you recommend the all-mahogany over the spruce top?
Different timbre to the sound. Mahogany is darker, more complex
Have you tried the Fender Fa125? I'm between those two and don't know which to purchase
Sorry, not tried that one. How much is it?
Hello, between this guitar and the Yamaha f310, which one do you prefer?
My preference is for the Fender. But that's only my set of likes and dislikes. It'd be a good idea to try them both out for yourself
Great vid other than the mic frapping during the demo. Still gets a like and sub.
Welcome onboard
Why isn't the serial number of any of the guitars of this model registered on the fender website? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
If you investigate and find out then let us know
is the action low?
Mine is medium to low and I haven't needed to adjust the string height at all.
Title is incorrect. Should be CD60S. The CD60 is not a solid top so there's a difference between the two.
Should I get the mahogany top or the dreadnought I wanna play rock and alternative
Do you need access to the upper frets??
@@PetesGuitarUniverse I actually ended up going with dreadnought lol they only had left handed in it sadly
@@PetesGuitarUniverse why did you ask about the frets?
@@nirvanarocks83 a fairly big thing to consider when purchasing a new acoustic. Body shape can hinder upper fret access
@@PetesGuitarUniverse does this one hinder?
This one or the FG800?
I can't imagine the FG800 is any better made than the Fender. It might come down to which colour you prefer. Personally, I'm a Fender guy at heart. And I know my CD60 sounds and plays fantastic. So I wouldn't ever be tempted by any Yamaha instrument. Except perhaps a re-release of their classic NS10's. But that's a whole different debate.
What’s the first song you were playing
Just something original
@@PetesGuitarUniverse do you have a tab sheet I would really appreciate it
Hmm a semi acoustic is a totally different beast, you meant to say "this isn't an electro acoustic...". The guitar on the wall behind you, with the f holes, thats a semi acoustic
Thanks for clearing that up
Bought a gently used sunburst one for $109!
Sweet purchase. I got mine used, but basically brand new, unplayed, with a Korg clip on tuner, padded case and new strings for £60. Was heartily pleased.
Yoo I just bought the natural variant,how Does yours sound?
Excellent. There's a sound test in this video. Have a listen for yourself!
@@PetesGuitarUniverse nice..which gauge string do u recommend for this guitar?Thanks!
@@Shady_-mp1kq I currently have the original Fender Dura-Tone Coated strings (.012-.052 gauge) still fitted. They've lasted well and stayed bright, but because I use weird and drop open tunings I'm going to fit some beefier Ernie Ball strings soon.
6:34 what is the model of his guitar?
Hi bro. Did a quick google search and looks like a 1959 Martin D-18E. Hope it helped, cheers!
@@obiwan7840 bro? Because I play guitar???😂not a bro😕Natural born redheaded female 😂 💯%woman😘
It’s all good tho☺️ just wanted to point it out. I’m offended by these transgender‘s screaming they are a woman when they are not. I however, am a real woman 😂🤩💪🏼🇺🇸TRUMP 2024🇺🇸
Got My Fender CD 60S today. It Says Crafted in China. Is it Real or Fake fender product? I tried checking the Serial number in the fender Website and it was not there.
There's also a tag that says pass with date 2022-03-22.
Everything seems good but I'm a little unsatisfied with the crafted in china thing 😅
I'll check mine and get back to you. Maybe other could comment on theirs??
@@PetesGuitarUniverse i Just Hope it's Authentic.
@@tipujajotj3469 not sure where you bought it (reputable dealer?), but they are made in China to keep the costs down. Should be genuine.
@@PetesGuitarUniverse i got it from Amazon. And the seller is COCOBLU RETAIL LIMITED
As long as it's Genuine then it's good! 💜
A lot of Fender guitars are made in China, Fender has a factory there. They are also made in Mexico, in Japan, and in America. The price goes up accordingly.
Looks like a lovely guitar for the price, would be great as someone's first guitar, don't do what I did and buy a completely cheap Chinese thing as your first guitar, it hurt my ability to learn by just being a bad poorly set up guitar.
Agree. This is a good all rounder. For cheap.
Solid top?
Solid top, laminated mahogany back and sides.
Yep solid top.
I guess it lacks thebass
No, nothing is lacking. The tone is full and lush across the frequency range. Very well balanced
😘
You talk so fast
Why waste time?
@@PetesGuitarUniverse wise man
