Fender California Standard Redondo Acoustic Guitar

zZounds Gear Experts Say...
With a spruce top, dreadnought body, and classic 6-in-line Fender headstock, this affordable acoustic offers flair but remains quintessentially Fender.

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 California Standard Redondo features resilient laminate construction with a spruce top and sapele back and sides for impressive and satisfying tonal richness, while a 25 1/2" 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.

An instantly recognizable Fender design feature, the 6-in-line headstock creates a straight string pull from the nut for optimal tuning machine performance, and places all tuners in a linear location for easy access. The tilt-back design produces a consistent break angle on all strings for even response and string feel.

I bought one of these to have a 2nd guitar in case company comes over, plus I could use it as a "beater" when i don't want to drag my Gibson Dove out... Man, was I shocked! The action on my guitar without any additional setup was low, fast, and zero fret buzz. Tuning keys felt smooth and sturdy, and i couldn't find a flaw anywhere. And as my wife likes to point out this flat top is LOUD! Notes are articulate with decent sustain and chords are clear and ring true. It quickly went from being just a fun little toy to a valued instrument. I'll even record with it when I'm looking for a different tone than my usual. My son said recently he wants me to teach him guitar....guess I'll be buying him another one of these!
