Bottom Line – This is one of the nicer Fender acoustic guitars for under $500. It’s nice to see the mahogany touches, which you can also find on the best acoustic guitar under 500. Definitely a better choice than some of the cheaper beginner guitars that are hard to play.

Fender CD-140SCE Acoustic-Electric Guitar
For an acoustic guitar under $400, this is a quality option and worthy of consideration. The Fishman Classic 4T preamp is nice and great for the price with a 3 band EQ that succeeds in creating consistency between the acoustic and amplified tones.
The dreadnought body is well built with spruce and mahogany with a rosewood back and sides that create a roust tone. There have been some shortcuts in the making of this guitar which is why it’s not a $1000 guitar. If you want that rosewood on a fingerboard, consider giving our Fender FA 115 review a read too.
