collapse expand iconDescription

The Fender CD-60 Dreadnought V3 acoustic guitar provides full, resonant sound ideal for live performance and recording. This affordable, genuine Fender dreadnought features a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides for balanced tone with plenty of projection. Upgraded components like a new compensated bridge saddle, smaller dot inlays, and a striking sunburst finish give the CD-60 Dreadnought V3 a premium look and feel.

Scalloped X-Bracing Opens Up the Soundboard

Thinner scalloped bracing allows the spruce soundboard to vibrate freely, producing nuanced tone with enhanced projection. The result is full, open sound with ringing overtones.

Graph Tech Nut and Saddle Improve Sustain and Clarity

Neither too soft nor too brittle, the Graph Tech nut and compensated saddle provide improved sustain, clarity and tuning stability. They outperform plastic components and come remarkably close to real bone.

Coated Strings Extend Life While Enhancing Tone

Fender coated strings resist dirt, corrosion and climate changes, resulting in longer life, smoother feel and better tone. Your strings are the heart of your instrument, and coated strings protect that vital tone-generating component.

Premium Components and Striking Aesthetics

Smaller, 3 mm dot inlays, a new black pickguard and an eye-catching sunburst finish give the CD-60 Dreadnought V3 visual appeal to match its acoustic excellence. Die-cast tuners, black body binding and a dual-action truss rod complete the premium package.

    This guitar comes with a fantastic hardshell case. I was shocked. I bought another guitar that was more expensive and it didn't come with a case. Great deep sound. Will probably change the strings.

  • Good beginner guitar

    I'm in my 30s purchased this guitar to learn to play, I wanted an affordable but well-crafted and reliable guitar. Even people who have never held a guitar know that Fender knows how to make a good guitar. I knew the price for a Fender with a hardshell case included is amazing and couldn't be passed up. I got this at my local GC store and the customer service was amazing. The case isn't the best quality but it does the job it's supposed to, it's good to keep it safe in car rides if you're taking it to lessons or to jam with friends but I wouldn't check a guitar onto an airplane in this case. But this isn't about the case, which can be easily and I may be a novice guitar player, but I love this guitar!

  • So happy I bought
