Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
An entry‑level to lower mid‑range Fender acoustic, verifiably a CD‑100 LH NAT-DS-V2 made in Indonesia. The presence of the correct interior label, serial format beginning with IPS14 (consistent with 2014 Indonesian production), and typical construction details support identification. Collectibility is modest; value resides in playability rather than rarity. A word about fakes.. while counterfeit high‑end guitars are common, budget Fender acoustics like the CD‑100 are less frequently targeted, though verifying headstock logo, serial, and label alignment is still prudent.
Individual Images:
Photo is a close-up through the soundhole showing the oval paper label on the back’s inner surface. Label reads: “Fender ACOUSTICS / Model: CD-100 LH NAT-DS-V2 / Made in accordance to specifications of Fender Musical Instruments Corp
U.S.A. / Manufactured in Indonesia / Fender is a registered trademark of FMIC. / S/N: IPS1401747.” Interior kerfing/linings and a transverse brace are visible
suggesting standard factory construction. The rosette appears as concentric dark rings. Bronze-wound strings show slight tarnish. No interior cracks or loose braces are evident from this angle.
Provenance:
No provenance documents provided.
Condition:
Good (interior clean; some string oxidation visible; full exterior condition not shown, not officially graded)
Identification Score: 98%
The interior label clearly states Fender Acoustics CD-100 LH NAT-DS-V2 with serial IPS1401747 and Indonesian manufacture; these details match known specs for the model. Visual features (dreadnought body, natural finish, multi‑ring rosette) are consistent.
Authenticity Score: 85%
Label and serial formatting look correct for Indonesian Fender production; model nomenclature (LH, NAT-DS-V2) aligns with cataloged Classic Design versions. No conflicting red flags visible, but without headstock/decal and full-body views, absolute confirmation is limited. A word about fakes.. counterfeit guitars do exist, though they tend to target higher-end models; still, check the headstock logo font, truss-rod access, and serial consistency with Fender’s records.
Image Memory Note
Object: Left-handed Fender dreadnought acoustic guitar, natural finish, seen through the soundhole. Visible features: multi-ring rosette around soundhole; bronze-wound steel strings crossing vertically; interior shows light-colored kerfed linings and a transverse brace. The key detail is the oval paper label adhered to the inner back. Label text (transcribed): “Fender ACOUSTICS” at top in black script and small caps; beneath that a line starting with “Model:” followed by “CD-100 LH NAT-DS-V2”; smaller lines: “Made in accordance to specifications of Fender Musical Instruments Corp, U.S.A.” and “Manufactured in Indonesia.” Small line: “Fender is a registered trademark of FMIC.” Bottom line: “S/N: IPS1401747.” Interpretation: Fender Classic Design series, left-handed, natural dreadnought, Version 2, Indonesian production, likely 2014 (serial begins with 14). Condition notes visible: strings show mild oxidation; interior wood appears clean with no visible glue drips or loose braces; no cracks visible from this angle. No pickguard, headstock, tuners, or body back/sides shown in this image.
