Fender CN-240SCE Classical Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Natural

Product Description

The CN-240 SCE is quite an interesting instrument; a hybrid nylon-string that actually isn’t a classical guitar, strictly speaking, because it has a soft cutaway and a slightly thinner neck profile that’s easier on the fretting hand. Other features include a solid cedar top, rosewood back and sides and built-in electronics.


  • Solid Cedar Top, Laminated Rosewood Back and Sides
  • Scalloped X Bracing
  • Fishman® Isys III System
  • Rosewood Bridge with Compensated Saddle and gold 3-in-a-line tuning keys
  • Dual Action Truss Rod, Wood Mosaic Rosette, Gold "F" Logo, Multi-ABS Body Binding, Brown Neck Binding

4.0 out of 5 stars Instrument Success, Marketing Fail, August 7, 2011
This review is from: Fender CN-240SCE Classical Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Natural (Electronics)
Selling this one as a 'Classical Guitar' is a mistake.
It's clearly in that niche category of modern, thin bodied, low action, electrified cutaways meant to be played through an amp, usually with light tension strings, that are currently so en-vogue with a lot of Travis/Atkins style thumbusters. It's a borderline 'semi-acoustic'.

Think Multiac. Think Buster B Jones... That's kinda what this design goes after. Can you play classical music on it? Most definitely, but it's a modern- not a 'classic' - design and it ain't gunna sound like a Ramirez. Even though it's an 'acoustic guitar', it's highest gear is when it's amplified.

MusicLover's review is definitely sincere- and fair in its own respects- but Fender let him down by not being up front about what this guitar is. Selling it as a "classical guitar" carries certain implications and expectations, which this may not live up to for the buyer who doesn't fully understand what they want. Someone ordering sight...

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, February 22, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Fender CN-240SCE Classical Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Natural (Electronics)
This guitar is much smaller than expected and lacked bass and sounded thin (unplugged). The body dimensions are 19x15x4 inches so it's much smaller that a typical dreadnought (the specs are wrong). The tuners are of poor quality, seems like only bent sheetmetal. The varnish had a couple of flaws and seemed very thick, which may have impacted the sound. Mine came with Fishman electonics that included a tuner. The sound plugged into an amp was pretty good though. The nut is narrower than my Breedlove N200. I decided to return this guitar after playing it for 15 minutes.
