Drawing from a storied legacy of reimagining the acoustic experience for daring and adventurous players, California Series acoustics stand out as authentically different, undeniably timeless, and quintessentially Fender.
The orchestra shape is cherished for its comfortable mid-size body and detailed, balanced tone, making it an ideal choice for soloists and students alike. The California Standard Monterey E features resilient laminate construction with a spruce top and sapele back and sides for impressive and satisfying tonal character, while a 25 ½”scale neck with a slim “C”-shaped profile provides an inviting and effortless playing feel. Other noteworthy details include an oiled walnut fingerboard and bridge, sealed gear tuning machines for smooth and accurate tuning action, and a sleek long-lasting gloss finish.
