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-X™ bracing pattern, the mid-size
auditorium body of the Fender California Vintage Palomino is lightly crafted
with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid ovangkol back and sides to effortlessly
produce a versatile, articulate voice with exceptional detail, clarity and
balance. An ergonomic modern "V" profile was chosen for the 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
Fishman® 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.
