Fender CD-60SCE Solid Top Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar with Walnut Fingerboard - Black | Professional Quality for Stage & Studio Performances

A significant improvement over my beater, Hohner acoustic. Easy on the hands. Seems to be settling in after practicing on it for about a half hour. Strings definitely were not pre-stretched. Nice sound projection and the body resonates nicely. Sustains a note/chord for long time. It rewards you well sonically when you hit the chords and notes just right.I can't say much regarding the "setup" because I am not skilled enough to determine if the neck needs adjustment or anything like that. Looks fine to me when I hold it up closely and look down the neck/frets. The saddle and nut also seem fine, but I will likely replace the saddle and nut as well as the pins with those made of bone for both tone and cool factor. Head stock and tuning knobs all seem fine on close inspection and operation.Sorry to report not much useful info from me on the electronics because I don't have an amp. But one thing of note... Be aware that the built in tuner will not work unless you have it plugged into an amp. I confirmed this with the included Fishman instructions. I thought the tuner would come on anytime I wanted so I could tune it. Nope. Must be plugged in to an amp. Thinking back, it makes sense, because the sound is transduced into an electric signal by the Fishman pickup on its way to the amp.Docked one star in craftsmanship for the sloppy application of stain you see in the pic as well as some minor finish aberrations. The builder(s) just let the stain run down into the sound hole; they didn't actually put it there with intent. It would have only taken 3 seconds to correct this during the staining process. I will fix it with one of those stain pens you can get at any DIY store because my eye automatically goes directly to that spot when I pick it up. Leaving it raw wood would have even looked better. Also noticed some aberrations on the body if I hold it at specific angles. You can detect them as distortions of the glare, but not when looking at it "normally." I cannot feel them when I run my finger over those areas though. Maybe just the clearcoat.All told, this seems like a decent guitar for the price. I am not disappointed, even with the small cosmetic flaws. Hopefully one day I will be able to play good enough to get all the potential out of this guitar.Good luck to everyone learning. Anything worth learning requires effort. At least, that is what I keep telling myself.
