Fender CC-140SCE

One of the latest trends at Fender is the desire to produce high-quality instruments at a more accessible price for a wider range of buyers. The CC-140SCE model fits well into this trend, satisfying both conditions. It is often described as follows: "Excellent affordable versatility in a traditional design."

Construction and Materials

The guitar belongs to the "grand concert" class, meaning it has a slimmer and more elegant body than a dreadnought or jumbo, making it comfortable to play while standing. The sides and back are laminated with rosewood, and the top is made of a solid piece of spruce protected by a red pearloid pickguard. Internally, the structure is reinforced with X-bracing, which, combined with the dual-action truss rod, ensures both the overall strength of the instrument and the stability of the tuning. The neck will not sag or warp, even with its Easy-to-play thin profile designed for easier playing.

Electronics

The guitar is equipped with a Fishman Presys Pickup system with a built-in tuner and preamp. Overall, the combination is very successful and effectively transforms the acoustic sound of the guitar into "electricity". The preamp includes a 3-band equalizer, expanding the tonal range.

Sound

The model has a clear, focused sound with a good frequency balance, leaning slightly toward the highs — the classic Fender "grit," and when plugged into an amp, it sounds just as lush and rich as it does "live."

It is offered in two color options: natural gloss and sunburst. Comes with a branded case.

The CC140SCE is a solid "electro-acoustic" in the best Fender traditions, but compared to similar models from less renowned brands, the price of the instrument is still somewhat inflated.
