Classic Design guitars combine the timelessness of tried-and-true body shapes with top-notch craftsmanship and modern features that will appeal to beginner and intermediate guitarists alike.

Fender CD-140SCE 12-String Dreadnought Highlights

Solid Spruce Top

Spruce is the standard modern tonewood for fashioning the tops of acoustic guitars and other acoustic instruments. Few woods can beat its strength, brightness, and dynamic range, and it responds well to any acoustic playing style, from hard strumming to fast flatpicking to delicate fingerpicking.

Easy-to-Play Neck & Cutaway Design

With its comfortably rolled fingerboard edges, this instrument’s neck creates an incredibly comfortable fret-hand feel that's ideal for beginning players or experienced pros alike. The cutaway on this classic dreadnought offers easy access to the upper frets for high-register play.

Fishman Presys Preamp and Tuner

A Fishman pickup/preamp system includes a variety of onboard controls for amplifying your acoustic instrument without compromising its pure, rich, and resonant tone. It also features a convenient built-in tuner.

Ovangkol Back & Sides

With solid strength, smooth feel and excellent tonal quality, ovangkol gives this guitar an elegant appearance with rich, warm tone. A relative of rosewood, ovangkol shares many of its tonal characteristics, while visually it sometimes looks lighter in appearance.

Graph Tech NuBone Nut and Bridge Saddle

Graph Tech nuts and bridge saddles enhance the sustain, clarity, and tonal consistency of an acoustic instrument. Neither too soft nor too brittle, NuBone’s properties are remarkably close to real bone, and eliminate troublesome string binding while delivering performance and functionality that easily outdoes other plastics.

Hardshell Case Included

This hardshell case features a useful storage compartment, making gig-to-gig transport a cinch.
