Best Lefty Acoustic Guitar For The Money!

Great deal! Arrived undamaged, tuned it with the free Fender android phone app, sounds lusciously clean & accurate. For the price I don't think you can find a starter guitar that sounds this good with a real wood top. Strumming I encountered no buzz and the neck feel is outstanding with no sharp edges. If you are looking for a guitar for a child well this is a full sized acoustic so if they are younger than 10 you might want to find something smaller. The only complaint I have is the clear plastic, taped cover placed on the opening leaves a glue residue, at least the free online lessons decal is on the pick guard and can be safely removed, not sure if I can use glue-be-gone on the wood finish to remove the glue. The overall ascetics of this guitar are top-notch, worthy of the Fender logo. Grab this black-friday special if you are a lefty looking for a deal on a decent acoustic guitar. VERY IMPRESSED!

Best overall beginner guitar

A really well-built guitar with solid sound. Great action right from the start with high quality strings (an extra pair was included as well - I purchased the combo pack - with the gig bag, strap, extra picks, etc.) Well finished heavy body. Good volume (can get pretty loud!), good bass on the strings, and overall excellent execution.

Stunning!

When I recived this guitar I was stunned! I love the dark look of this guitar! The sound is just as good! Usually you need some kind of setup or trust rood adjusment especially since I?m in Arizona. Dispite the climate difference all the insturment needed was tuning. The guitar played like butter in my hands! Over all very satisfied!

Best beginner guitar!

Best birthday gift for my hubby! My hubby always wanted a guitar but he?s a beginner. I surprised him with this gift and he fell in love! It?s the best size and amazing deal. I got it on a discount and it was totally worth it! My 2 year old boy also love playing it.

Great value

It?s a solid guitar for beginners. It came with everything you need to get started and it sounds great. It also came with 3 months of free lessons. It was a great price and I recommend it to anyone looking to get started or even an experienced guitar player.

I love my first guitar

As a beginner, that?s the best guitar for me according to my research. I?m not an expert, but the build quality of is is superb. And the price here is the lowest I?ve ever seen.

I like it

I bought one smaller size first, then exchange to this one. The guitar has a bigger box, and I feel the sound more fuller. I am not sure if the size is bigger for girls, I think it should be ok. And the strings is lower, so it's more friendly for beginners.

Beautiful but could use attention finishing

A beautiful guitar with a wonderful tone, it was sent with a relatively good action. There were some finish issues in the one I ordered that I will have to correct so I can't give it a perfect review, but this is a really good guitar for the price. Had I payed full price (I got it on sale for 100) I would have been very upset with the finish flaws and probably sent it back for a replacement. That being said, it sounds and plays beautifully.

I am 43 years old and I am enjoying playing this guitar.

Hello! My name is Paul Lee and I?m 43 years old man. I came to the USA one year ago and I?m learning English. When I was young, I used to play the guitar which was old and used, and it?s sound not make melody, but make noisy. At that time I didn?t have enough money, so I have quitted playing the guitar. However, I found great deal program here at Adorama Music, so I purchased this guitar 2weeks ago. And then yesterday I played the gospel with this guitar at the Bible study small group. It was my first concert for the first time in my life. After meeting many audiences said to me, ?Your playing guitar was great, amazing and you have a musical talent.? I think it?s because my guitar have a real good sound. I am learning English and I am also learning playing the guitar, if you want to learn again playing the guitar, I recommend you this Fender CD-60S. To playing the guitar in front of people will be amazing experience.

Fender Classic Design CD-60S

Pleasant vibrations that will probably settle down over time into a mellow tone. It works its way in various songs better than my other guitar. Worth the price. And beautiful finish with the walnut. Better than just a starter instrument.

Sounds and plays like a much more expensive guitar - great for beginners!

This is a great sounding, great feeling guitar for this price. If you are just starting out, o would recommend starting with this guitar. I initially bought a cheaper guitar but it was more difficult to get clean chords without buzzing or muting on some of the strings. The sound on this guitar so much better, the chords sound cleaner, it just reduces the frustration which may cause some to give up.

Great Guitar!

By Yoham S.

I have a lot of guitars, over 40 the last time I counted. I have about 7 or 8 acoustics. Most of all are solid wood build but that means they are sometimes rendered unplayable during the winters. So I purchased this guitar. I got it on sale, so I actually bought 2 of them. The first one I gave away to a friend, that one played PERFECT out of the box. The 2nd one I had to straighten the neck which lowered the action and now it plays perfect as well. The rolled edges are nice and smooth a...
