Fender CD-140SCE-12 WA Nat

Overall quality of this guitar is really poor, there is sawdust on the fretboard that appears to have been stuck during construction. The bridge is really soft wood meaning the strings are cutting into it. The bridge also arrived damaged. Wish I'd bought the Takemine!

Getting this instrument set up for an enjoyable playing experience was quite challenging. Considering it's a budget instrument, I didn't have high expectations to begin with. However, the case does help offset the value of the guitar. Unfortunately, the Fishman pickup didn't work, but I managed to upgrade it with a new version. I would describe this guitar as better suited for campfire gatherings or informal jam sessions rather than a professional instrument.

At this price point I didn’t expect much. Sound and performance is ok, but it looks and feels plastic like and is not that inspiring to play. For the price that’s ok. Buy this if you need 12 strings once in a while. Not if you want the joy of playing 12 strings for a living.
