Our quick verdict
The CD-60 is one of Fender’s best-known beginner acoustics: a full-size dreadnought with a laminated spruce top and mahogany back and sides, and a comfortable neck with rolled edges. Reviewers rate it as a strong-value guitar to learn on, though it doesn’t have the richer tone of solid-top guitars like the CD-60S.
Great for
- Beginners buying a first acoustic
- A Christmas present for a teenager or adult learner
Skip it if
- You want the fuller sound of a solid top (look at the CD-60S)
- You need a pickup to play through an amp

What reviewers say
Six String Acoustic rates the CD-60 as a good guitar to learn on and pleasant to play, but says it lacks the boomy, dynamic sound you might expect from a full-size dreadnought.
