Fender CD-60S WN Mahogany Dreadnought Guitar

Fender CD-60S Dreadnought All-Mahogany — Warm Tone in a Classic Body

The Fender CD-60S Dreadnought All-Mahogany pairs a solid mahogany top with laminated mahogany back and sides for the warm voice that has made all-mahogany dreadnoughts a favorite among singer-songwriters. Fender built this model for players who want classic dreadnought volume without the brighter sound of spruce. Quartersawn scalloped "X"-bracing keeps the top responsive, and this dreadnought rewards a heavier hand with rich low end.

What Sets This All-Mahogany Dreadnought Apart

What sets this model apart is the solid mahogany top with quartersawn scalloped "X"-bracing — a detail usually reserved for more expensive instruments. The matching laminated mahogany back and sides give the guitar a unified tonal character, while the rolled walnut fingerboard edges create a smoother feel.

Mahogany Body Construction — Warmth and Projection

The mahogany tonewood combination drives this guitar's voice. A solid top moves more air, while laminated back and sides add stability and focused midrange.

• Top Material: Solid Mahogany — a real wood soundboard that resonates more freely than laminate and improves with playing time
• Back & Sides: Laminated Mahogany — stable with focused midrange
• Bracing: Quartersawn Scalloped "X" — supports the top while letting it vibrate openly
• Body Finish: Gloss — a polished surface that protects the wood and highlights the grain

Easy-to-Play Neck — Comfort for Long Sessions

Fender's "Easy-to-Play" neck profile reduces hand fatigue, and the rolled edges along the walnut fingerboard remove the sharp feel at the binding.

• Neck Material: Mahogany — matches the body's tonal character for a unified response across the neck and body
• Fingerboard Material: Walnut — a darker hardwood with a smooth feel
• Fingerboard Radius: 305 mm — comfortable for chords and lead lines
• Nut Width: 43 mm — enough room for fingerstyle

Reliable Hardware — Stays in Tune, Plays Clean

Chrome die-cast tuners hold pitch through temperature changes. The walnut bridge supports string tension evenly, and Fender Dura-Tone 880L coated strings ship from the factory.

• Tuning Machines: Chrome Die-Cast — sealed gears that resist dust and hold tuning through long sessions
• Bridge: Walnut — matches the fingerboard for visual and tonal consistency
• Strings: Fender Dura-Tone 880L Coated 80/20 (.012–.052) — coated for longer tone life
• Scale Length: 643 mm — a slightly shorter scale that lightens string tension for easier bending

Who Should Play the CD-60S All-Mahogany

The CD-60S is the right choice for beginners who want a first guitar that sounds and feels like a real instrument. Intermediate players will appreciate the solid top, which matures with playing time. Singer-songwriters benefit from the warm midrange under vocals, while campfire strummers get the dreadnought volume they need. Anyone struggling with thick neck edges will notice the rolled fingerboard difference within minutes.

Fender Classic Design — Acoustic Heritage

Fender's Classic Design series combines traditional body shapes with modern playability features for beginner and intermediate guitarists. The CD-60S line is one of the most popular models in that series, and the All-Mahogany variant adds a solid mahogany top for a more organic voice. Fender was founded in Southern California and has built a worldwide reputation.
