Designed with player-friendly features for unmatched ergonomic
comfort, California Standard acoustics minimize limitations to
unleash an ocean of inspiration, allowing creators to focus on
what they do best - create.
Crafted from all-laminated sapele, the comfortable mid-sized
concert body of the Monterey Standard has a deep, rich wood grain
and produces a satisfyingly warm and balanced tone well-suited
for a variety of playing styles. The easy-to-play nato neck is
designed with a slim "C"-shaped profile with rounded fingerboard
edges for optimal comfort, a short 24.75" scale length for low
string tension, and a 6-in-line headstock for a distinctive look
born from Fender's 1970s-era electric guitar DNA. The Monterey
Standard also has a narrow string spacing at the bridge, ideal
for players with small hands or those seeking reduced
picking-hand fatigue. Other notable details include a silky satin
urethane finish, vintage-style tuning machines for smooth,
accurate tuning, and a GraphTech® NuBone® nut and saddle for
detailed harmonic character. Rounding out the feature list is a
Fender® preamp system that allows faithful reproduction of the
guitar's natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or
recording device, and includes a built-in tuner for convenient
on-the-fly adjustment.
Bold, eye-catching and unique, California Series instruments make
no compromises balancing effortless playability, superior sound,
and standout style for those who aspire to play something
different.
