'Bell-like Resonance and Sweet Overtones'
expert craftsmanshipWith its midsize orchestra body, Fender's California Standard Monterey E is crafted with one goal in mind: versatility. From casual strumming to intricate fingerstyle playing, this acoustic is built to adapt—offering a responsive, resonant feel no matter the style.
A carefully chosen blend of sapele and walnut showcases the craftsmanship of Fender’s luthiers. Sapele, often compared to mahogany, brings balanced projection and lush harmonics, but with added shimmer and articulation in the highs, making it a great match for both picking and plucking. Paired with a sturdy sapele neck and a walnut fingerboard, you're handed enhanced comfort and a sonic profile that’s full of bell-like resonance and sweet overtones.
Why Choose Fender's California Standard Monterey E?
LAMINATE CONSTRUCTIONThe top, back and sides of this model are crafted with choice laminated tonewoods to provide impressive resonance with added resilience and durability compared to solid woods.
ICONIC HEADSTOCKAn instantly recognizable Fender design feature, the 6-in-line headstock creates a straight string pull from the nut for optimal tuning machine performance, places all tuners in a linear location for easy access, and the tilt-back design produces a consistent break angle on all strings for even response and string feel.
FENDER ELECTRONICSWith a convenient onboard tuner and controls for volume and tone, this onboard electronic system brings electric versatility for players who enjoy recording, playing live, or exploring effects.
