Solid beginner guitar for a good price!
The Fender CD-60 BK was my first steel-string acoustic that I bought after having only played classical guitar. Not being entirely sure what to purchase, I got this one due to the cheaper price and generally positive reviews.
After 2 years or so, I still play on this regularly and I think it's an excellent dreadnought type of guitar for beginners. The CD-60 looks very slick in black (although it's easy to leave fingerprints) and is very appealing. I always enjoyed the laminated texture although opinions may vary in this regard.
As far as the work goes, this guitar produces a very loud and bright sound. It plays quite well but after having played other steel string guitars, I notice that it's not necessarily the best guitar in terms of handling. However, the lower price tag makes this honestly a very good guitar. I brought this guitar to many places and played outside and inside and it still looks brand new. It is seriously impressive how robust this guitar is.
The biggest downside for me were the strings which came with the guitar. They sounded extremely "tinny" and lacked a brighter sound. I pretty much changed them on the fly with some higher quality ones which made the sound much better.
Overall, I really recommend this guitar for anyone who wants to dabble into playing acoustic steel-string guitars. It is a solid choice and very sturdy as well. It looks great and gets the job done.

Fantastic affordable guitar
This was the recommended guitar from a musician friend of mine. I've just started learning and have no need for cutaways or electronics or any of those other advanced elements. I just needed a basic guitar that was well built, has a low action, stays in tune, and produces good acoustic sound.
Mine was made in Indonesia and looks really nice in the gloss black finish. I decided on the black because of the laminate construction and my preference for satin finishes. Although it may not have exotic materials, it's extremely solid, uses quality components, and is an absolute joy to play. It simply sounds and feels great.
Unfortunately, it doesn't ship with a case nor a strap. However, it does come pre-strung with some Fender coated strings and a truss-rod adjustment tool.
I'm really happy with this guitar. It's everything it needs to be and nothing it doesn't. I totally recommend it for new players and anyone who just needs a basic, affordable daily-player.

FENDER BENDER - GREAT SOUND.......
This guitar is a terrific sounder and with the deal including tuner, strap etc is great value for money. Shame it had a few surface scratches on the head but it didn't seem worth the trouble of sending back so I polished them out as best and Im happy. I wore out my first CD60 learning and readily replaced it rather than pay for expensive fret dress and work to the rosewood string holes which had enlarged a bit.

My First guitar which I still love to play!
I bough this when I wanted to learn guitar and I didn't want to spend much encase I gave up after a week, 5 years later I own 5 guitars but I still love to pick up my cheap little fender. It has its own distinctive sound and feel which I just love.
I will probably sell other guitar I purchased but I will be keep this one.
So great entry level instrument for those of you who want to try guitar.

Definitely worth the money!
It is what it is, a 100 euro fender with the a great sound. I believe if you're looking for perfection you'll be looking somewhere else! With that said, great product if you compare it with its value. Not too heavy and it has a very deep sound.
Very happy I got it, totally recommended for people starting with the instrument and for musicians who wants a guitar to bring here and there without risking your good ones. I took it for a one year backpacking travel and survived the hole thing without a problem!

Decent guitar with a big body
This is a decent guitar for its price. No complaints about its sound or stability but as someone who plays electric mainly, I found this guitar a bit uncomfortable because it does not have a cutaway, higher frets are very difficult to reach and I had a hard time trying to make this big body guitar sit comfortably on my lap, tried more comfortable alternatives at shops after I bought this without trying.
