Hi JMR120600!

I was considering the same guitar and posted here asking for opinions and recommendations. Since then I have played several acoustic guitars by various makers, and can say without hesitation or reservation that the Fender CD-60 has the best value in its class and price range.

HTH

Cheers!

Just happen to have a CD-60 and its "sister model", the Squier SA105 hangin' on the wall.
Prices 'round here are about 120€/CD60 and 60€/SA105, so both are really cheap.

Both play OK after some basic mods (a little lower action by a bone nut and by sanding the saddle, new strings, truss rod adjustment etc.).
The sound in in both guitars is what you can expect in this price range. Good enough for campfire playing and gigging at the usual bar/small stage sound quality, not for serious recording work though.
