The Classic Design CN-140SCE combines the distinct tone created by nylon strings with the comfort and familiar playability of steel- string spacing.

As a nod to tradition, the CN-140SCE features a fan-braced solid cedar top, along with ovangkol back and sides for a warm and mellow tone.The CN-140SCE provides a supremely comfortable experience for players of any skill level—the 'thinline' concert body makes it a perfect guitar for the living room and stage alike, while the single cutaway makes it easy to access higher frets. When the need to plug in arises, this model's onboard Fishman electronics provide straightforward, yet powerful tonal control.

  • Beautiful & Playable
Color: Natural
A few years back, I bought a nylon string acoustic-electric with a narrow nut width and a thin body. I wasn't able to ship it back to the states, so I sold it and regretted it ever since. After some hunting, I found this and received it today. While it still maintains some of the classical guitar feel -- flat fingerboard, short heel, harsh tuners -- the pros of this guitar are undeniable. The tones are rich and full, rather than tinny and weak as the thin body might suggest. The neck is narrow enough to play like a steel string, but the string spacing still allows for fingerstyle. It's also beautiful. Fender always kills it in the aesthetics dept. Plus it comes with a molded hardshell case which is worth $100 alone. I haven't plugged it in yet so I don't know about the electronics. As I've never encountered a problem with Fishman, I'm assuming they'll work fine. Overall I'm satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a more shreddable nylon string. ... show more

  • NOT a Full Size Guitar! 14 " Length body!
Color: Black
I noticed right away before I even opened the box that this item was MUCH smaller than I expected! It is supposed to be a full size guitar. It isnt even as big as my classical guitar and looks closer to the size of my grandsons toy guitar. It doesnt look like a $399 guitar at all! It looked more like an $89 child toy guitar. ... show more

  • Easy to play
Color: Natural
I purchased this because of the nylon strings. The other features includes 1) a built in tuner and 2) A remarkable case. It is also electric and has a very solid tone.

  • Great guitar.
Color: Natural
This was a good buy on a great guitar. I’m a pro musician and I think Fender knocked one out of the ball park on this one. I only play classical nylon string guitars when needed so this is not my main instrument but I love it. The pickup is clean and clear and works well with all my other sound gear. It comes with a nice case. I had mine professionally setup by my guitar tech and it plays nicely, intonation is spot on. ... show more

  • Excellent Value
Color: Natural
I didn't buy the one I have on Amazon, but the value and product are the same regardless of where they're purchased. This guitar shows an excellent level of workmanship and finish. I love the 00 body size with the thin profile. The Fishman pickup/tuner works great although I wish the 1/4" plug had been located in the strap button and not on the bottom of the body where it can interfere with playing positions. The only other knock is that the tuning machines may have to be replaced at some point, but that expense would still add up to make this guitar an excellent value. This guitar sits in my music room next to a Martin dreadnought and I reach for the Fender at least as often. It's lightweight and comfortable to play. ... show more

  • This an normal sized acoustic guitar
Color: Natural
Every guitar player should own a nylon string guitar for song writing if nothing else, Willie and Roger Miller and tons of song writers use nylon to compose with, its non intrusive sound lets your voice ride right on the edge whereas a steel string is constantly rises above your voice. I got one of these and quickly bought another, mine says "crafted in Indonesia" but I got them at MF ... show more
