Fender Dreadnought CD-140SCE WN Natural + Case - Refurbished

A complete electro-acoustic dreadnought in the CD series

The Fender CD-140SCE is part of the Fender acoustic guitar family, designed to combine playing comfort, a generous tone and reliable features. This version stands out with its mahogany construction, traditional dreadnought body shape and cutaway, which modernizes its silhouette while making it easier to access the upper register.

It is a particularly complete instrument thanks to its Fishman preamp, built-in tuner and included hard case. Its Natural gloss finishing highlights the mahogany grain, while the tortoiseshell pickguard, pearloid rosette and discreet key markers give it a classic, refined acoustic aesthetic.

A comfortable guitar for accompaniment, songwriting and amplified playing

This electro-acoustic guitar is equally suited to beginner guitarists looking to develop on an instrument that inspires confidence and intermediate musicians seeking a reliable dreadnought for rehearsals, home recording and amplified performances. Its mahogany neck features Fender's "Easy-to-Play" profile, with rolled key edges that provide a softer feel under the left hand.

The dreadnought body shape is ideal for powerful pick accompaniment, folk, pop, acoustic rock and country rhythms. It also delivers enough body for flatpicking and fingerpicking. The cutaway makes it easier to reach the upper frets for more elaborate arrangements, melodic phrases or acoustic solos.

Mahogany warmth supported by dreadnought projection

The solid mahogany top is at the heart of this Fender CD-140SCE's sound. It delivers a warm, woody and direct character, with pronounced mids that allow chords to retain their substance. Compared with a laminated top, a solid top responds more finely to playing nuances and can become more expressive as it is played.

The mahogany back and sides extend this sonic identity by reinforcing the instrument's rounded, consistent character. The dreadnought body produces ample projection, which is particularly appreciated when playing without amplification. Its scalloped X bracing, made from quartersawn maple, helps the top vibrate freely while ensuring a stable structure: the result favors a dynamic response, solid bass and strong presence in rhythm playing.

The walnut bridge and Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle contribute to the transmission of vibrations. They promote a clear attack, consistent intonation and pleasing sustain. When plugged in, the Fishman CD-1 electronics reproduce the guitar's acoustic character with volume, bass and treble controls, making it easy to adapt the sound to an acoustic amplifier, powered speaker or mixing console.

Recommended compatible accessories

To preserve the original touch and balance, this guitar accepts light-gauge .012-.052 steel acoustic guitar strings, such as the Fender Dura-Tone 880L 80/20 set supplied as standard. This gauge is suited to the 25.3-inch / 643 mm scale length and maintains comfortable tension for accompaniment as well as pick playing. As the hard case is included, the guitar is already equipped for transport and storage.
