Fender CD-280SCE


$500.00 Released March, 2009

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Overall good feel, nice balance to it. Pickup is very sensitive to light strumming. Has a sweet, melodic tone perfect for balads.

The Cons:Strumming hard gives overtones and messy sound. Tuner is slightly inaccurate, only really noticeable by experienced players.

The CD-280SCE is an acoustic guitar from Fender's Classic Design Series and is an upgrade to the CD-280S.  The guitar features Fender's dreadnought shape and comes in a natural color with a satin finish.

  It is designed with a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, rosewood fingerboard, and a tortoise-shell pickguard.  The CD-280SCE offers good playability with chrome die-cast tuners and D'Addario Phosphor Bronze strings.  It also includes scalloped X bracing and differs with the CD-280S since it includes Fender's FTE3-TN onboard preamp with a built-in chromatic tuner.  The guitar has a suggested retail price of $500 and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
