Fender California Monterey Standard All-Mahogany Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

Designed with player-friendly features for unmatched ergonomic comfort, the California Monterey Standard acoustic minimizes limitations to unleash an ocean of inspiration, allowing creators to focus on what they do best. Crafted from all-laminated mahogany, the comfortable mid-sized concert body of the Monterey Standard has a deep, rich wood grain and produces a satisfyingly warm and balanced tone well-suited for a variety of playing styles. The easy-to-play mahogany neck is designed with a slim 'C'-shaped profile with rounded fingerboard edges for optimal comfort, a short 24.75" scale length for low string tension, and a 6-in-line headstock for a distinctive look born from Fender’s 1970s-era electric guitar DNA. The Monterey Standard also has a narrow string spacing at the bridge, ideal for players with small hands or those seeking reduced picking-hand fatigue. Other notable details include a silky satin urethane finish, vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning, and a GraphTech NuBone nut and saddle for detailed harmonic character. Rounding out the feature list is a Fender preamp system that allows faithful reproduction of the guitar’s natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or recording device, and includes a built-in tuner for convenient on-the-fly adjustment. Bold, eye-catching, and unique, California Series instruments make no compromises balancing effortless playability, superior sound, and standout style for those who aspire to play something different.
