I have just bought this guitar. The sound hole sticker is missing.

https://www.blocket.se/Skane/Fender_Wes ... 864427.htm

Can anyone please help me decide what model it is?

It is at least 8 years old.

CD-60?

No serial number ?

Looks like a CD-60 - based on that one low-res pic only.
But for that 1200 Kronor in the ad (= 125 €), it's quite expensive for an eight year old CD-60 in Sweden. The current price for a brand new one is 129€ at Thomann, and they have been offered for 80€ on special offers.

And: I agree with stratele52, it's better to use the "Fender Acoustic Instruments" section next time.

thanx!

would there be another place to look for the serial number, other than on the label (which is missing)?

I have paid 70eur approx 70usd for it.

i have read somewhere that some (early?) cd-60 variations had a solid top. is this true?

Look on the back of the peg head, if not there, look everywhere in the back

Probably not on a CD60. But check everywhere anyways.

That's about OK.

I've seen both. But to be brutally honest, on a guitar in this price class, it doesn't really matter soundwise. And: solid tops made cheap are prone to hump, crack, live with humidity and so on.
In general, don't pay too much attention to the exact year (not much difference between different year models...), or other details. Just enjoy the guitar, they play easy and sound ringy, jingly, tingly, clangy. It (or the Squier sister model) ain't no Martin, but it's a great campfire/busker/boating/playing-at-night-after-a-quart-of-whisky guitar. :wink:
