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.
