Easy-playing solid-top dreadnought
The CD-60S pairs a solid spruce top with a rolled fingerboard edge and an easy-to-play neck that feels familiar to electric players. It has a warm, balanced dreadnought tone and comes in a few finishes that look a cut above the typical starter acoustic.

It trades blows with the Yamaha FG800 — pick based on which neck and look you prefer; both are excellent first acoustics.
