Kinda? Someone can correct/add on to this but:

FA = Fender Alternative series (“beginner” series/line) -laminate guitars of pressed fiber

CD = Classic Design series - spruce tops, mahogany body

PD = Paramount series -solid mahogany wood top and body

The “E” At the end means they’re electric (likely Fishman pickups)

Dreadnought will be the body shape. This is the big American acoustic shape with deep low end.

Not sure what the individual numbers mean.

S means solid i think so for example SCE would mean solid cutaway electric
