The Fender California Deluxe Monterey E Mahogany combines the modern look of the California series with the versatile tone of an orchestra-style acoustic guitar.
Mahogany body
The guitar’s tonal foundation is formed by a solid mahogany top, combined with laminated mahogany sides and a mahogany back . This combination of woods produces a balanced tonal spectrum with distinct mid-range and a pleasantly warm fundamental character. Scalloped X bracing ensures optimum vibration transmission, supporting the top’s resonance. The result is an open tone with a quick response, rich full-bodied sound and impressive projection.
Slim mahogany neck
The Fender California Deluxe Monterey E Mahogany also impresses in terms of playability. Its mahogany neck with a slim Slim-C profile ensures a pleasant playing experience and supports a comfortable hand position across the entire fretboard. The walnut fingerboard complements the ergonomic design with a pleasant surface, enabling both fluid chord changes and the precise execution of melodies and solo passages.
Pickups for live performances
For amplification on stage, in the rehearsal room or during recordings, the Fender California Deluxe Monterey E is fitted with a Fishman pickup system. This authentically transmits the acoustic character of the instrument to amplifiers or mixing desks. Key sound settings can be conveniently adjusted via the preamp integrated into the side of the guitar. In addition to the volume , the bass and treblecan also be adjusted individually to optimally tailor the sound to different applications. An integrated tuner completes the features and enables quick and precise tuning of the guitar at any time.
Natural Finish
The Fender California Deluxe Monterey E Mahogany is also visually impressive. With its traditional charm, the attractive natural finish gives the guitar a warm and expressive appearance. Stylish tortoise bindings and a colour-coordinated tortoise pickguard emphasise the instrument’s classic character and add tasteful accents. The design is rounded off by the distinctive Fender headstock, which gives the model an unmistakable look.
