Back in the
early 1960s in Southern California, a fearless creative culture was abound, and
Leo Fender was on a mission to design a fresh collection of acoustic
instruments that captured the innovative spirit that permeated the artists
around him. In collaboration with legendary luthier Roger Rossmeisl, Leo
released several unique acoustic models that embodied the character that made
Fender a symbol of the rock-and-roll revolution, including unmistakable
headstock shapes, easy-to-play neck profiles and radical styling, changing the
face of Fender Acoustics forever. Today's Fender California Vintage models draw
directly from their mid-century origins with a retro visual vibe, adding 21st
century performance and a rich, refined acoustic tone - a true modern alternative
with classic Fender heritage.
Engineered with an innovative Performance-Xβ„Ά bracing pattern, the dreadnought
body of the Fender California Vintage King is lightly crafted with a solid
Sitka spruce top and solid ovangkol back and sides to effortlessly produce a
substantial, bass-filled voice with exceptional detail, projection and volume.
An ergonomic modern "V" profile was chosen for the okoume neck along
with a 25.5" scale length for optimal sustain, and a tilt-back 6-in-line
headstock with a maple headcap for a distinctive look born from Fender's
electric guitar DNA. Other notable details include a bound ovangkol fingerboard
with pearloid block inlays for a throwback look, vintage-style tuning machines
for smooth, accurate tuning, and a bone nut and saddle for superior harmonic
character. Designed for the performer, the onboard FishmanΒ® Presys VT Plus
preamp system features seamless soundhole-mounted controls that blend an
undersaddle piezo and internal body transducer to allow faithful and reliable
reproduction of the guitar's natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or
recording device. A vintage-style hardshell case is included.
Bold, eye-catching and unique, California Series instruments make no
compromises balancing standout style, superior sound and effortless playability
for those who aspire to play something different.
