My new Fender CD-140SCE acoustic-electric guitar is an amazing
My Requirements
My requirements for a new guitar were simple, but important to me:
- Around a $300 street price
- Good acoustic-only tone
- Electric is ready-to-go when needed
- Good electronic preamp
- Easy to change battery*
- Tuner built-in to the preamp electronics
I got all of these features with this Fender guitar. And I couldn’t be happier. And, I haven’t missed a night of practice! By-the-way, I’m spoiled by the on-board tuner.
The Fender CD-140SCE
After all of my on-and-off guitar training over the years, I wanted and really needed a decent acoustic to complement my other musical endeavors (where I’ve gotten much further along) and get serious about guitar again. I also wanted an alternative to my nice and steadfast Schecter Omen 6 electric.
