I couldn't resist



It's a nice Fender Acoustic. From the Fender website:
"The CD-220SCE is a dreadnought cutaway with a full, resonant sound and exotic wood construction in two beautiful choices: ovangkol (a heavy West African wood) back and sides or ash burl back and sides; both with a natural-finish solid spruce top.

Upgrades include a new tortoise shell pickguard and abalone rosette design, new compensated rosewood bridge design, black bridge pins with abalone dots, mother-of-pearl Fender logo headstock inlay, and smaller (3 mm) dot fingerboard inlays. Features include scalloped X bracing, back center stripe mosaic inlay, 20-fret rosewood fingerboard, dual-action truss rod, gold hardware and Fishman® Presys™ pickup system with active onboard preamp, tuner, volume and tone controls and low-battery indicator light."

Fender acoustic guitars have a reputation for standing up really well and playing wonderfully for many years...

Looking forward to hearing how it sounds! :-)

I stayed up late last night (or at least later than I should have) playing it. My recent playing has been on a Yamaha and a 12 string Norman, both of which need new strings, and a couple of electrics, so I was surprised to hear how bright this one sounds. It's got a fair amount of sustain, and a bright, rich sound which I find rather appealing. I like it very much. Here, listen:
Wasn't that great? :-)
