Perfect for beginners, fingerpickers, or traveling guitarists, the Fender CP-60S may be small, but it packs a full-size Fender tone. This guitar’s solid spruce top with scalloped “X”-bracing results in a lively, resonant response ? ideal for aspiring fingerstyle players or solo singer-songwriters. Next, the mahogany back and sides support the top with plenty of warmth and a precisely balanced string-to-string projection. Hunting after a highly playable neck? You’ll love the mahogany neck’s “easy-to-play” shape, boasting a fast, comfortable feel and rolled edges on the walnut fingerboard. From folk to blues to pop and beyond, the Fender CP-60S Parlor’s intimate tone and petite body size make it an excellent alternative to the typical big-bodied dreadnought that most guitarists start their 6-string journey on.





Touch-sensitive solid spruce top





A must-have feature for the serious acoustic guitarist, this instrument's solid spruce top with scalloped "X"-bracing allows this acoustic to punch far above its weight class. It provides a remarkably touch-sensitive feel that rewards playing dynamics, whether chunking out cowboy chords or delicately fingerpicking a melodic masterpiece. Moreover, the laminated mahogany back and sides enhance this guitar's voice with an eminently balanced response and a crisp attack.





Comfortable Fender “easy-to-play” neck shape





Perhaps more than any other part of the guitar, the shape of the neck largely determines the “feel” of an instrument. An unwieldy neck can quickly put off a player first picking up the 6-string, which is why Fender spec’d this acoustic with their “easy-to-play” profile. Smooth, fast, and not too substantial, Sweetwater guitarists find that the easy-to-play neck is a supremely comfortable shape, sure to inspire any aspiring strummer. Moreover, the fingerboard edges have been rolled to give you an incredibly sleek feel when sliding up and down the neck.
