FenderCP-60S Parlor Acoustic Guitar, with 2-Year Warranty, Natural

The media could not be loaded. So I will start by saying I am a complete beginner. My new years goal for 2023 was to finally learn to play guitar a bit. I do NOT aspire to be an amazing musician or anything. I’m 38 and a stay at home mom. I want to be able to play songs around the fire pit or sing some Christmas songs with my kids. Basic stuff.I first ordered a beginner guitar from Amazon that was super cheap. But. When I started playing it, that’s exactly how it felt. Super cheap. I felt like I was playing a toy. So that same week I decided I needed to spend a little more money and get something a bit more real.I looked and just completely fell in love with the look of this one. I loved the dark wood and the glossy look of this guitar. I was worried about it being too big for me to hold comfortably though.When it arrived, the look of it was just stunning. I mean. It is GORGEOUS! Everyone who sees this guitar gives me compliments. It IS big for me and at first I thought I might return it but couldn’t bare to part with it since it was so stunning.Over the past few months that I’ve had it, I’ve gotten used to the size. The size just feels normal now.I got this in the spring and haven’t devoted much time to trying to learn playing. I mostly watch YouTube videos and did a subscription to the Justin Guitar app for a few months. I can play C, A, G, E, D, a modified F, Em, Am, and Dm. And with my capo that means I can attempt to play many songs.I don’t really have much to compare this guitar to, except for the cheap guitar I bought first, but this guitar is perfect for me.It came tuned and has really for the most part stayed in tune. The sound sounds good to me. I share this video of me playing, but be aware that I’m still getting the hang of pressing the strings close enough to the frets/hard enough to have the notes ring out clear without buzzing. I’m still getting the hang of it.Overall, I think this was a great guitar for me as a complete beginner. I also think it would be perfect for experienced players. It was an AMAZING price! And the look of it is so stunning. The dark wood and glossy finish are jaw-dropping. I’m so pleased with this purchase! And I’m excited to learn to play better.

Beautiful guitar with a sweet sound. Worth the price.

I'm a beginner and own a couple guitars. This one has a noticeably larger sound. I just touch the strings and the notes jump out. The chords just keep humming long after the strum. This is all right out of the box. I can't wait to put premium strings, bridge, keys and nut on. It's gonna sound incredible. It's appearance has really grown on me. At first I thought "too shiny!", but the shiny finish all around seems to have formed a microscopic shell which contains a resonance that gives this such good sound. This resonance is felt along with the shape of the neck that feels custom fitted to me. It's my favorite by far. I bought it used from Amazon. Described as slightly blemished. The only thing I could see was a tiny scuff on the pick guard. Which of course is supposed to be scuffed. This guitar is special to me and I highly recommend it.

Out of the box I’m thinking it would be perfect connected to a good acoustic amplifier using a decent pickup. It plays nice and easy, but for its size I would expect more sound, but it is quiet. It’s a Fender. I read that Fender sends them out with Fender strings. Maybe, I’m just used to the feel being a little more taut, but since it is a Fender and the strings are Fender I would assume you would put the stings that best accentuate the instrument’s sound. So different strings might not help. I’ve got a few ukulele’s that are too quiet, even for ukulele’s but sound amazing plugged in, so like I said some electronics and a decent amplifier might make it perfect, but the friends I hang out with on occasion don’t allow electronics and I usually end up surrounded by a banjo a mandolin, a Martin and a BlueRidge, and I’m pretty sure that even with my loudest, and brightest I’ve played whole songs on occasion in the wrong key totally unaware because no one could hear, not even me. So, a good practice guitar it is, but for jamming, maybe if I sit near the back of the room, at least I’ll be able to hear it. But it is beautiful and it’s mine…

It is a nice looking unit, for sure, and I actually like the gloss finish all over, which some have had issue with. Mine had the action a little low, resulting in some quite prevalent fret buzz mostly about halfway up the neck, especially with the crap tens it came with. Barre-chording was not pleasant. At least I think they were tens—I dunno. They were not that great at all whatever they were. Though I considered sending the thing back, I instead upped the gauge to 12 (Martin cheapos) and put a slight shim under the saddle. I used a strip cut from a credit card. The neck was straight, so I did that before I tried easing up the truss rod. Anyway, it plays great all over now, and my son will be psyched for his birthday here in a few days. It is relatively easy to play, even with the higher action. Overall build quality is nice, but it does border on that overbuilt sound. I have an Aria parlor-esque guitar that was comparable in price but is much louder, despite being considerably smaller than this dreadnought size. Overall a good buy. The solid top will improve with age, and the tone even now is very pleasant and loud. A superb strummer and an awesome looker for the two bills.

This guitar sounds great stays in tune perfect size for playing on couch.great deal for the $.plays and sounds like more expensive guitar.hughly recommend.

Bought during Covid, still playing to this day. Not releasing a record any time soon, but enjoying myself nonetheless.

Very nice sound. Good investment for an entry-level guitar. I am totally satisfied.

First off, this product arrived in perfect condition with no obvious flaws. Tuning was a breeze and not far off out of the box. Keeps in tune well. Playing the guitar was so much simpler for my smaller hands. I gave up playing previously as I had some trouble with the size of a standard guitar. The sound is rich, not “tinny” like you might expect from a smaller guitar. I’m impressed with the complete product and encourage anyone starting out to choose this guitar. Fender consistently pts out a good product.

Good value

Super nice guitar. Looks great, sounds nice and easy to play. There is one little defect : the inside of the headstock is poorly paint sprayed.
