Fender California Vintage King Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Mojave

In the early 1960s Southern California, a vibrant creative scene inspired Leo Fender to develop a new line of acoustic instruments reflecting the innovative energy of local artists. Partnering with renowned luthier Roger Rossmeisl, Fender introduced distinctive acoustic guitars featuring iconic headstock designs, comfortable neck profiles, and bold aesthetics that redefined Fender Acoustics. The current Fender California Vintage series honors this mid-century legacy with vintage styling while incorporating modern playability and a rich, sophisticated acoustic sound, offering a contemporary instrument deeply rooted in Fender’s storied history.

The Fender California Vintage King features a dreadnought body crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid ovangkol back and sides, enhanced by the innovative Performance X bracing pattern to deliver a rich, bass-driven tone with remarkable clarity, projection, and volume. Its okoume neck sports an ergonomic modern "V" profile and a 25.5" scale length, optimizing sustain. The guitar’s tilt-back 6-in-line headstock, topped with a maple cap, reflects Fender’s electric guitar heritage with a distinctive design.

Additional features include a bound ovangkol fingerboard adorned with pearloid block inlays that evoke a classic aesthetic, vintage-style tuning machines that ensure precise and smooth tuning, and a bone nut and saddle that enhance harmonic richness and tonal clarity.

Tailored for performers, the Fender King Vintage A/e Guitar is equipped with the Fishman Presys VT Plus preamp system, featuring discreet soundhole-mounted controls that integrate an undersaddle piezo and internal body transducer. This setup ensures accurate and dependable amplification of the guitar’s authentic tone when connected to an amplifier or recording equipment. The guitar also comes with a vintage-style hardshell case for protection and transport.

Striking and distinctive, the California Series instruments deliver a perfect blend of exceptional style, outstanding sound quality, and easy playability, designed for musicians seeking a truly unique playing experience.
