Fender CD-60S Solid Top Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar - Natural Bundle with Gig Bag, Tuner, Strap, Strings, Picks, and Austin Bazaar Instructional DVD

After spending a couple years playing the ukulele, with the baritone ukulele over the last six months, I've finally done it; something I've wanted to do all my life (I'm 58.) I BOUGHT A GUITAR!I have always loved the sound of the guitar, but with the background of being a drummer, and being visually impaired, I was fairly intimidated by the idea. Thanks to playing the ukulele, I have arrived here!This guitar is GORGEOUS! Such beautiful sound, from the deep low notes, to the clear midrange, and crisp tight high notes. The sustain is AMAZING! It has a nice, low action, meaning you don't have to squeeze too hard to get clear sounding notes and chords. It's beautifully constructed, and the deep brown mahogany with the gloss finish is very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. (though a bit of a fingerprint magnet!) So far, it has stayed almost perfectly in tune, with just some minor adjustments between practice sessions.Everything arrived as described except for the cleaning cloth, which the seller shipped out to me right away, after also being very helpful with some setup advice.Make no mistake, this is a large instrument! It's quite a jump from the baritone ukulele, but I'm already starting to feel more comfortable with it after a couple weeks. For me, holding this in what is referred to as the "classical position" is quite comfortable. You'll want to buy a guitar foot rest to hold this beauty properly. Also, invest in a decent guitar stand so you can keep it safe but also handy!We live in such a remarkable age, where lessons and information abound online! I'm currently using a 30 Day Guitar Challenge on YouTube, and the list of online guitar tutorials is virtually endless! Along these lines, I watched a number of reviews on this guitar, and the love for it was basically unanimous.I am very pleased with this purchase, and truly believe that I got more than my money's worth. I look forward to spending many years (hopefully!!!) exploring the joy of making music with this lovely creation from the good people at Fender.If you've thought about playing guitar, and you have the money and some time a few days each week to practice, (ideally everyday), do yourself a massive favor and buy a guitar. This setup comes with just about everything you need, and it will enrich your life like little else can. We spend so much time and money on far less inspiring things. Music is a gift; immerse yourself in it; you'll be glad you did.

I've been playing guitar for almost a year now and have never set my hands on an acoustic guitar until this one arrived at my door. I went with the bundle because the case alone is over seventy bucks and it fits the guitar perfectly. The case itself is sturdy and has some heft to it. I honestly didn't expect it to be as heavy as it was. All the buckles line up and work just fine. The case has that cool black velvet material inside and a small but accommodating storage compartment that you access by lifting a lid that folds back revealing the space. It's big enought to hold strings, winder, pick holders, tuners, a couple cables if needed and whatever else you feel like stashing in there. The case opens and shuts without any issues. It's not flimsy by any means. The guitar itself is amazing. It's taken some getting used to as far as the fretboard because it's a lot smaller than what I'm used to but thats all part learning to play. My only issue with the guitar is that the frets could use a little more sanding down on the edges. They're a little sharp in some areas and need some additional sanding which is something I'll do when I change out the strings. When you compare that to everything else, it doesn't matter because the guitar looks and sounds awesome. Fender has the market cornered with these bundles because I can't find anything close to what this has to offer. You won't be disappointed.

First and foremost, this guitar is nice but it's nothing fancy. It's put together well, but it is a beginner's guitar. It was easy to set up although I'm a total novice. I decided to gamble against the advice of my friends and adjust the truss rod myself and had no issues. So, it's fair to say that I have no complaints about the guitar.The real value in this is the case. I was expecting a flimsy cardboard "hard" case. What I got was a solid, well padded and lined, locking case that I would feel pretty confident checking on an airplane. It seems to hold the guitar very well and I didn't hear any rattling as I carried it.The included tuner, picks, strap, and strings really do round out this package and provide you with everything you need to get started.Everything arrived well packed and in excellent condition. I feel pretty good that I got my money's worth with this package.

I have to say, for the price I didn’t expect this instrument to be a nice as the picture it showed in the ad. Actually, the picture didn’t do it justice!The instrument is well made. No lightweight! Construction is very clean, no flaws, the color/finish is exceptional. Top notch all the way. It is a FENDER after all.Always wanted one and was nervous about ordering online for this item, I was not disappointed. It also came with all the basics to get a new player started…, strap, pitch meter, extra strings, picks, tool, and cleaning cloth with instructions. Best of all these items that came with this instrument was the case! Wow! Gorgeous case. NO FLIMSY cardboardy shell on this baby! Heavy duty, beautifully made case with a great finish, storage area inside, and with keys to lock the case if preferred.Okay, it’s been MANY (like over 30) years since I bought a new guitar. Maybe a lot of nicer brands come like this…, I don’t know. But I for one was impressed how lovely this instrument is, how well made, and how FENDER or the seller went out of their way to make sure all basic needs for a new player were included with this guitar, as well as a really well made/heavy case to keep it stored in was included with this purchase!I personally give this seller and the brand a solid 10 on this purchase! Everything was perfect!It even shipped quickly, arrived early by a day, and completely intact! Can’t beat the entire experience!THANK YOU for making this a great purchase all around!I’d definitely buy from this seller again!!
