Taking inspiration from the iconic designs of Fender electric guitars, California Player acoustics embody the adventurous and free-spirited essence of the west coast, encouraging musicians to delve into their individual creativity and challenge the norm.
Built with an X-braced solid spruce top and sapele back and sides, the Villager 12-string showcases a non-cutaway Newporter auditorium body shape that delivers a versatile voice – articulate and powerful, yet providing a comfortable feel for extended periods of inspiration. The nato neck features an easily playable slim "C"-shaped profile, incorporating graphite reinforcement rods for stability, a 24.75" scale length for comfortable tension, and a 1960s-inspired "hockey stick" headstock, creating a distinctive appearance rooted in Fender's acoustic heritage. Additional standout features include vintage-style tuning machines for smooth and accurate tuning, a GraphTech NuBone nut and saddle for the signature 12-string chime, and a Fishman Flex preamp system, ensuring faithful reproduction of the guitar's natural sound when connected to an amplifier or recording device. The package is completed with a deluxe gig bag.
Bold, attention-grabbing, and distinctive, the California Series instruments make no compromises, achieving a harmonious balance between effortless playability, superior sound, and standout style, catering to those who aspire to play something refreshingly different.
