The Fender CN-60S is a right-handed concert-body nylon-string acoustic guitar designed for players who want classical-style tone with a more familiar, approachable playing feel. Its nylon strings offer a softer feel under the fingers than steel strings, making it well suited to developing players and casual acoustic musicians. The Natural finish keeps the solid spruce top and mahogany construction visually understated.
This model combines a solid spruce top with laminated mahogany back and sides for a responsive acoustic voice with clear note definition. The concert body provides a manageable format for seated practice, lessons, songwriting, and unplugged playing. Its 25.3-inch scale length maintains a full-size playing experience.
The CN-60S uses Fender's Easy-to-Play neck shape with rolled fingerboard edges to create a comfortable feel across the walnut fingerboard. A 1.69-inch nut width provides classical-leaning string spacing without the especially wide neck profile commonly associated with traditional classical guitars. Eighteen vintage-style frets and side-dot markers support straightforward navigation.
Its construction includes a solid spruce top, laminated mahogany back and sides, walnut bridge, and scalloped X bracing. The gloss poly body finish and gloss urethane neck finish provide a finished, durable exterior. Chrome hardware and amber pearloid tuner buttons add a traditional visual accent.
The CN-60S is an acoustic instrument with no listed onboard controls or electronics, making it ready for direct acoustic use. It can serve as a first nylon-string guitar, a comfortable practice instrument, or a complementary voice alongside steel-string acoustics. For amplified performance, use an appropriate external microphone or separately selected acoustic pickup solution.
Key Features
- Concert Body: Offers a comfortable acoustic-guitar format for practice and playing.
- Solid Spruce Top: Supports responsive acoustic projection and note clarity.
- Nylon Classical Strings: Provide a softer fretting feel than steel strings.
- Mahogany Neck: Pairs traditional construction with Fender's easy-playing neck profile.
- Rolled Fingerboard Edges: Create a smoother, more comfortable fretting feel.
- Walnut Fingerboard and Bridge: Provide durable playing and string-contact surfaces.
Design & Installation
The CN-60S features a solid spruce top with laminated mahogany back and sides, multiple body binding, and a CD Series pearloid rosette. Its concert body has a gloss poly finish, while the mahogany neck receives a gloss urethane finish. The guitar uses a walnut bridge, plastic nut, chrome hardware, and 3-in-line tuning machines with amber pearloid buttons.
No wiring, amplifier, or head-unit installation is required because this is a passive acoustic guitar with controls listed as N/A. Tune the included-spec Fender nylon tie-end strings at the 3-in-line machines and use the standard strap buttons with a compatible guitar strap if desired. A case and gig bag are not listed as included; Fender identifies compatible optional carrying solutions separately.
