Fender CD series
The Big F’s Classic Design acoustics have long been a go-to for the cashstrapped strummer, but as of now they’ve got even better. Starting out at just £160, the expanded line adds 11 new models, ranging from the CD-60s – all-mahogany with a solid top – to the CD-140SCE-12 (£365) spruce-topped 12-string, and plenty in between. Lefties will be glad to hear that they haven’t been forgotten (at least with the basic models), too!
