I’ve had the cc-140sce since 2017. I’m pretty impressed with it so far.

[@MrJeffo46]

I just got the CD-140SCE in natural a couple of weeks ago and it sounds great either unplugged , or through my Fender Acoustic 100 combo.

[@carmikereid]

Awesome! Just loaded the CD140 based on the demo of this video. Thanks.

[@briwood6328]

Great video as a beginner I've chosen to get the CD-140 thanks for the review

[@ErGoyoTV]

Thank you Chris. Cool and centered review and that was really nice playing for the demo. If I lived in San Antonio I would already get one guitar from you guys. Nice balanced tone out of the mahogany CD-140sce... Deffinitively one has to go big with a dreadnought for that sound. I will hear this again to appreciate the CC-140. Personally I keep looking for a small body that can give a balanced bass and highs even it is not so loud.

[@e002840]

I own a CD-140SCE Spruce. It was a gift. But I just LOVED the Mahogany sound though. Richer and warmer. I'm impressed.

[@lgiorgos1]

Isn't it rosewood?

[@underoath16v]

Very nice review and video! 👏🏻👊🏻

[@ovationpdh]

Just got one of the new CD-140SCe models, and it is a wonderful guitar.

[@RangaRajan]

Hey I'm looking to buy it too, I have a few questions, please help! is it a big guitar compared to your earlier ones? big to the point that its slightly uncomfortable to hold? how's the sound? are the lows good enough?

[@midnight4109]

@@RangaRajan If its got a D in the name it's a big dreadnought.

[@adityaPurwanegaraBass]

Love the bass on cd140!

great video ... really informative and full of details ... there is another model Fender GC-140SCE ... would be possible for you to review this model??? ... thanks in advance

[@masonwitte6822]

Would honestly l9ve the mohagony one butt can't find it. Going to pick up the spruce and idian rosewood cd 140sce from my local guitar center

[@midnight4109]

I have the GC-140SCE which has a 25.3" scale length, 2/10" shorter than the dreadnought CD. It also has a rosewood fingerboard. Great playable guitar!

[@antalnagy8075]

Just tested a Fender CC 140 CE, a Fender PM2 All solid mahagony, a Yamaha FG 850 and a Yamaha LL6 rosewood, in shopp, all unplugged. All of them great guitars and the CC140 is the cheapest from the four, and impressed me the most. The CC140 was the spruce/ovangkol combination. Very impressed with the sound. A punchy, rich sound guitar. A comfortable to play, nice finish and affordable guitar. For the price and the quality of the sound you can not go wrong with this Fender CC 140... A Takamine GN51 owner....

[@nirvanaturkiyesubesi]

Do you prefer your Takemine GN51 or Fender CC140, i will probably buy one of these so if you can help me, that would be awesome.

[@antalnagy8075]

@@nirvanaturkiyesubesi @M Hy. I own the Takamine GN51 simple without electronics and has no cutaway. The Fender I tested is the shop was electro-acoustic with cutaway... But I tested it unplugged and the sound was preaty similar to the Takamine but not so full (the Tak GN51 is a bit bigger than Fender CC 140) and maybe that's the reason. Now I preffer the Takamine for a few reasons... I do not like cutaway guitars (it's matter of taste), and do not use electro-acoustics if possible. I like to hear the sound of the tonewoods (again matter of taste). But the main reason is that my Tak is rosewood back and side, rosewood fingerboard and bridge. The Fender is ovangkoal back and sides, walnut bridge and fingerboard.... So Fender uses cheaper materials to build CC140 for same price as Tak GN51, , but I consider that it a good guitar for it's price... I preffer rosewood guitars over other tonewoods for their specific sound (had also a full solid spruce/santos rosewood (or Pau Ferro) GA guitar but sold it and now I regret). So Rosewood is rosewood and after the 2017 become more expensive and many manufacturers renounce it because of the hygher price.... But be careful because Takamine GN51 cutaway electro-acoustic is walnut back and sides.... But if it is no problem for you the tonewood, you can check for Alvarez spruce/mahagony or all mahagony guitars also... Just great great guitars for the price....I also want to buy an Alvarez LJ2 for it's smaller size for travel, and 44.6 mm nut wide. So have a great time...

[@nirvanaturkiyesubesi]

@@antalnagy8075 Thank you so much! But I think i like Takamine's materials more ,because I also prefer rosewood in back and sides (my cousin had a Taylor, which is way too expensive and it also uses rosewood.), so I guess I'll go for the Takamine GN51 or GN71. GN71 is a electro-acoustic guitar but I think it will help me while I'm recording, thank you so much again!

[@antalnagy8075]

@@nirvanaturkiyesubesi If you have big hands than you can take in consideration in this price range also Cort L200 (45mm nut widtht) or Baton Rouge x54 JF or x54 OM (46mm nut widtht). All of them has santos rosewood back and sides... And the Cort has ebony fingerboard and bridge... Also great materials.

[@nirvanaturkiyesubesi]

@@antalnagy8075 Thanks but my hands are not so big, they are actually a little small. It's not hard to play guitar but sometimes I wish I had taller fingers.

[@geraldharper364]

Great review.. I think you could make a few stretched rubber bands sound good.

[@chinmayanaik3463]

Go with the 140 if you can afford it. I got a CD60s, bone nut and saddle is just a better sound. hardcase is also greatto get with it. I also beleive the quality controle is better at the higher price. My CD60 has one of the inalys in the nech slightly dented into the fretboard. get the 140 if yuo can afford it.

[@isdpedraza4878]

[@danimike144]

It sounds great

[@goldenbear31]

I’m a beginner but my ear votes for the full mahogany model.

[@gregmedbourn5347]

Best review on KZbin on these upgraded Fender CD140-CC140's Rosewood... I've had played several older CD140's vs Yamaha FG800-830 & FG850 I prefer the newer 800 series Yamaha over the older CD140's Also, For me there was no different in sound at all on the FG800 and the FG850 except the looks.. So for only $199 the FG800 is the best out there for that price range.. But, These newer CD -140's with rosewood sides and backs..Hard Shell case and the Nubone nut and saddle... And the easy play neck... How a acoustic feels is almost as important as the sound it makes.. Fender wins !! Yamaha has no case and a plastic bone & saddle.. Plastic does hurt the sound... Bone or the Nubone is a must... So that saves you $75 -$100 to get that done by a shop... So in my book if $$ we're hard to come by... Buy the Yamaha FG-800 but your getting a great guitar with great upgrades...with these fenders..

[@palesama]

So is the CD140SCE better than the CD60SCE. I know the 140 has rosewood and a different electronic system from the 60 wich has mahogany. Is there a review hand to hand about this 2 guitars in your channel?

[@midnight4109]

It's mainly a question of what you'll spend.

[@louiecabral7846]

what is the best amp for fender cd 140 sce?

[@abhishekmishra4028]

Thanks for this great review! I just have one question, have they downgraded the electronics in all CD140SCE to Fishman preamp and tuner from Fisman presys preamp and tuner in latest stock. Same is mentioned in their official website.

[@HDtenor1]

I noticed the tuner on the website looms different. Ever figure this out?

[@baruchshrager6326]

HiI bought the Fender CD140 SCE and it is really cool. but I have noticed that the sound on this video is more "clean" and harmonic than what I have Can it be related to the Strings type?are you using the default strings or have you changes them?

[@jamesallen7656]

Yes string choice as well as string gauge will effect the sound

[@MasterYoshidino]

The pick also makes a difference. Compare using a 73 Jazz III (good for electric) to a 50 Tortex Flex (good for acoustic).

[@BoSsetto90]

name of second song? nice vid!

Why does no one talk about the preamp or give a decent demonstration of it? It's literally guesswork for anyone serious about these guitars.

[@paulbowie4335]

I purchased the Fender CD140 SCE Mahogany-listened for many hours-many Reviews.Over a Few Days and a Couple Hours each day-- I Researched- Compared--Different Guitars and the Spruce Tops. Compare Tone - Definition -Sound Projection -for Similar Priced Guitars --I felt more a Deep more Mellow - less Intense than many Spruce Solid Top Guitars--- Restricted within Price Range .Similar Depth in Tone as some Ovation: but in my Opinion--the Mahogony Resonates more - Maybe due to a more dense wood.Listen to Different Artists Playing Styles -and Reviews .A great Sound for the price -a Hard Choice. Listen and Compare each Artist with Similar Music --Finger Picking and Strumming--Intense and Soft. Extremely Hard --this will assist to make the best Choice for You- . As Value for Money- Finish- Sound- Aspects you will have to Pay Considerably More to Achieve any Better- Paul.
