Beautifully Designed 12-string from Fender

Get that big, chimey 12-string tone with the Fender CD-140SCE. This intelligently designed acoustic features a solid spruce top and ovangkol back and sides for full midrange and high-end tone with a solid low end — that classic 12-string blend that so many artists have fallen for over the decades. A gorgeous mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard is incredibly playable and responsive. And when you are ready to plug in, Fishman Presys electronics are onboard to deliver stellar amplified acoustic tone.

Stellar amplified tone

The Fishman Presys pickup system in the CD-140SCE gives you plenty of tone-shaping options. There are bass, treble, and volume controls so you can dial in your ideal sound. A notch filter helps eliminate the possibility of feedback while playing live, and a brilliance control helps you cut through the mix. In addition, the phase control helps solve phase problems when recording the Presys output and a microphone at the same time. And a built-in tuner ensures you stay in tune while onstage or at home — a feature we really appreciate here at Sweetwater.

Neck built for play!

Pulling off those classic 12-string riffs and chords on the CD-140SCE is a breeze with the smooth, responsive mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. And a genuine walnut bridge and NuBone saddle support your tone as you play, enhancing the overall resonance of this wonderful instrument.

Fender CD-140SCE 12-string Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:

  • Intelligently designed 12-string acoustic-electric delivers great playability
  • Solid spruce top and ovangkol back and sides for full midrange and high-end tone with a solid low end
  • Fishman Presys electronics are on board to deliver stellar amplified acoustic tone

fender cd140sce12

liking this guitar every time i pick it up very easy to play been waiting for this fender for awhile and pleased with my purchase
Music background: been playing since the 70's with breaks in between
Rated 4.5/5

Just as expected

I tried one of the other brands of 12 strings first, but ultimately ended up returning them and going for this one because after all the costs, this one came with a hardshell case and was a better deal in the end. I was just wanting an occasional 12 string to play, nothing fancy, but good sound. For the price you get exactly that. The other brands around this same price played like cardboard. The fishman electronics in this are just perfect for what I needed. Playing this one alongside some of the others was not even a comparison. The fender is way better built, did not need a whole lot of setup, and sounds great. If you're looking for a 12 string to play here and there, and not as a daily guitar, buy this.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
