Fender CF-140S review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Fender CF-140S Folk Acoustic Guitar impresses with its great handling and tone, offering a delightful playing experience for fingerpickers. It boasts a compact and travel-friendly design, making it an excellent choice for busking or casual play. The guitar's spruce top delivers a crisp and defined tone, although it falls slightly short on volume and warmth compared to larger acoustics. Despite this, the CF-140S remains a highly appealing and affordable option under £200, providing a vibrant sound that is punchy and insistent, albeit lacking in room-filling richness.
