Fender CN-140SCE Nylon Thinline with Case - Natural
For those who love the warm, expressive sound of nylon strings but crave modern comfort and playability, the Fender CN-140SCE Nylon Thinline is a dream come true. This stage-ready classical guitar blends traditional tonewoods with contemporary features, making it perfect for fingerstyle players, Latin music enthusiasts, jazz musicians, or even electric guitarists looking to explore the rich, mellow world of nylon strings.
A Classical Guitar with a Modern Twist
Unlike traditional bulky classical guitars, the CN-140SCE sports a thinline concert body, making it incredibly comfortable to hold and play. Whether you're seated for an intimate performance or standing on stage, this sleek body ensures effortless handling. The cutaway design offers easy access to higher frets, opening up new melodic possibilities for adventurous players.
Solid Cedar Top – Resonant, Rich, and Only Gets Better with Age
The heart of this instrument lies in its solid cedar top, a wood cherished by classical and flamenco guitarists for its warmth, depth, and responsiveness. Over time, cedar matures, enhancing its tonal richness and sustain. Paired with ovangkol back and sides, this guitar strikes a perfect balance between warmth and articulation, ensuring each note sings with clarity.
Easy Playability for Any Guitarist
If you've ever struggled with a traditional classical guitar neck, you’ll love the Fender 'Easy-to-Play' neck with rolled fingerboard edges. It offers a slim, comfortable profile that feels natural under the fingers, making it an excellent choice for both classical players and steel-string or electric guitarists looking to explore nylon tones. The walnut fingerboard and bridge further enhance the playing experience, offering a smooth and responsive touch.
Onboard Fishman Electronics – Ready for the Stage
No need to mic up! The Fishman Classic Design pickup and preamp system faithfully amplifies the guitar’s natural tone, allowing you to plug in and play with confidence. With simple yet effective controls and a built-in tuner, you can dial in the perfect sound and stay in tune no matter where your performance takes you.
The Fender CN-140SCE Nylon Thinline is an elegant, modern take on the classical guitar, perfect for players who want the best of both worlds—traditional nylon-string warmth with contemporary playability and performance-ready electronics. Whether you're playing at home, on stage, or in the studio, this guitar delivers exceptional tone and comfort with every note.
