Fender CD-140SCE 12-String Dreadnought Cutaway 'Natural' Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Fender CD-140SCE 12-String is the top-tier model in the Classic Design acoustic-electric range, a 12-string dreadnought cutaway that delivers the classic jangle, shimmer, and bell-like harmonic richness that makes 12-string playing so immediately and unmistakably compelling, with a premium feature set that suits both developing and experienced players who want a capable and complete 12-string acoustic-electric without stepping into premium price territory. The solid spruce top with scalloped X-bracing provides the tonal foundation: warm, balanced, and naturally projecting with the kind of open, resonant response that drives a 12-string's doubled strings to their full shimmering potential.

Ovangkol back and sides is a notably premium appointment at this price level, a tonewood with a warm, complex, and harmonically detailed character that complements the spruce top beautifully, adding depth and richness to the 12-string's natural shimmer and chime. The Venetian cutaway provides comfortable upper-fret access, the Fender-exclusive CD-1 Fishman preamp with built-in tuner makes plugging in effortless, and the easy-to-play neck shape with rolled walnut fingerboard edges and tortoiseshell pickguard complete a specification of genuine quality and considered player-friendly design. Includes a hardshell case. Ideal for singer-songwriters, Beatles and Byrds enthusiasts, and any player who wants a capable, stage-ready 12-string acoustic-electric with premium appointments.
