Fender CC-60S Concert Acoustic Guitar - 3-color Sunburst Reviews
Boasting a compact, concert-sized body, the Fender CC-60S acoustic guitar is an ideal first instrument for the aspiring strummer, fingerpicker, or singer/songwriter. The time-tested combination of a solid spruce top and mahogany back/sides give this guitar a clear, articulate acoustic voice with a supremely balanced string-to-string response. Moreover, the slim concert-sized body, comfortable “easy-to-play” walnut-topped-mahogany neck, and full-size scale length offer slick playability without compromising tone. If you’re after a rock-solid acoustic ready to last the length of your musical journey, look no further than the Fender CC-60S.

Great starter guitar with upgrade-ability
I bought this guitar in early 2020 direct from Fender (before I was aware of how awesome Sweetwater is).
The guitar has decent-to-good tone "out of the box" from Fender, and is really fun to play. This was my first ever guitar, (I had purchased a Yamaha from Guitar Center which I returned within a week... it was big, not fun or easy to play and had a buzzy tone which annoyed me...) so I eventually landed on this Fender Classic Design series (CC-60S).
I have since upgraded some items which added to the tonal quality - TUSQ nut, TUSQ saddle, made a custom pick-guard, swapped the strings to Elixir's, replaced the bridge pins with Graph Tech bridge pins, and finally added a Fishman pickup to amplify the nice acoustic tone.
This guitar keeps in-tune really nicely, every week I check to see if it's in tune and it is usually spot on +/- maybe one "cent".
I'd recommend to anyone wanting to learn, or start playing again with a modest budget - you'll have a good tone with many options to upgrade later if desired. There's lots of options for entry level, and this - in my opinion - is a good one. It's not the best sounding, but great for practicing and learning on.
