Inspired by the iconic designs of Fender electric guitars, California Player acoustics evoke the west coast spirit of adventure and freedom, inviting musicians to explore their individual creativity and disrupt the status quo.
Crafted with an X-braced solid spruce top and sapele back and sides, the dreadnought body of the Redondo Player produces a deep, robust voice with exceptional projection and volume for a wide variety of musical settings. The nato neck is designed with an easy-to-play slim “C”-shaped profile, a 25.5″ scale length, and a tilt-back 6-in-line headstock for a distinctive look born from Fender’s electric guitar DNA. Other notable details include vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning, a GraphTech® NuBone® nut and saddle for detailed harmonic character. With elegantly integrated controls for a sleek, modern look, the onboard Fishman® Flex preamp system allows faithful reproduction of the guitar’s natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or recording device.

Unique Fender body shape
The Redondo boasts a distinctive and contemporary evolution of the iconic 1980s model. Its dreadnought shape and rich, warm voice make it a perfect fit for various musical genres and players.
Solid spruce top
The top of an acoustic guitar plays a vital role in producing its tone, and a solid top ensures optimal resonance, volume, and dynamic range. Spruce, a popular wood choice, offers clear articulation, nuanced character, and versatile tonal qualities.
Fishman preamp system
Featuring a sleek and streamlined appearance, the onboard Fishman® Flex electronics deliver an authentic acoustic sound. The intuitive volume and tone controls allow for natural amplified tones, while the phase control helps to eliminate feedback.
Tilt-back 6-in-line headstock
Designed with a tilt-back headstock, this guitar optimises the break angle of the strings over the nut, resulting in sustained notes and enhanced resonance.
Slim “C“-shaped neck
Drawing inspiration from Fender electric guitars, the slim and comfortable “C”-shaped neck offers a consistently shallow depth and rounded fingerboard edges, ensuring superior hand comfort.
Walnut fingerboard and bridge
Crafted from premium hardwood, the walnut fingerboard and bridge not only provide a visually appealing dark appearance but also offer a smooth feel and vibrant tonal character, enhancing the overall quality of the guitar.
