can someone explain the fender guitar naming convention
- Fender FA-125CE II Na
- CD-140SCE
- CD-60SCE DREADNOUGHT
- PD-220E DREADNOUGHT
- OM10CE ORCHESTRA ACOUSTIC/ELECTRIC
it's like they just randomly vomit letters and numbers

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
This honestly makes a lot of sense. 🤔
I've been perusing their website for a little while now, and there is a rough pattern:
At least for acoustics:
I always thought Ibanez was the worst for this. "What guitar would sound good on this track? I know - the SEW761CW! Or, if not, maybe a AZS2200F?"
A desperate corporation that can't innovate anymore throwing things at the wall to see what sticks?
not rly desperate, theyre making a killing
