I own a CD140SCE/BLK since a few months. It play pretty easy especially at the end of the neck, however in the cutaway section it is a bit more difficult to get clear and precise tone, maybe the action could be a bit better there. In the shop there where 2 equal looking of this same model, but the one I bought had much better playability, the action of the other guitar was to high for me. So I recommend you to try a few guitars of the same model, and buy the one which feels the best.
The guitar looks great in black, and is nicely build and finished. The sound has a very nice ring when playing acoustic, and when amplified the Fishman does a good job, and adjustment of volume and tone works properly. The only negative point I could find is the tuning. The guitar is relatively sensitive for temperature and humidity changes, and then may go a bit out of tune. Or is this due to the tuners? Well during playing, I rarely have to retune. The Fishman has a build-in electronic tuner, so in that case it's a sweet problem only. , This is a fantastic instrument, and the price vs quality is in my opinion very very good. Have a look at youtube and forums about this model guitar, they are all very positive!
