Play a Fender CDN-240SCE cutaway style classical guitar and you might think it's one of the finest acoustic-electrics made.

A highly rated affordable classical guitar that gives you a professional edge at a modest price, this is precisely why the CDN-240SCE feels so good, and sounds so good. These guitars rival many mid and upper line models of other popular makers.

Nothing has been sacrificed, from a solid Cedar top and cutaway body style to the laminated rosewood back and sides, rosewood fingerboard, an elegant gold Fender logo, wood mosaic rosette and a rosewood bridge with compensated saddle.

This Classical guitar will give you a warm and resonant sound that will inspire you.

With the built-in Fender Active Preamp with Piezo Pickup, Volume Control, and 3-Band EQ you can be heard above the band, or if you play solo you can run through a PA or acoustic guitar amp.

Novice players are encouraged by classical guitar instructors and luthiers to purchase slightly more expensive solid-top instruments whenever their budget allows.

The guitar’s top (soundboard) is the primary site of the instrument’s tone production. Many lower-end instruments have laminated or plywood tops that are tonally inferior to those with solid tops.

Ninety-nine percent of all beginners can hear the difference between solid and laminated plywood-top guitars when played back-to-back.
