Fender King Vintage Aged White Pickguard Mojave

In the early 1960s, a wild creative culture flourished in Southern California, and Leo Fender set out to design an original collection of acoustic instruments that captured the innovative spirit permeating the artists around him. In collaboration with legendary luthier Roger Rossmeisl, Leo produced several exclusive acoustic models that embodied the character that made Fender a symbol of the rock 'n' roll revolution, including the unmistakable headstock shapes, easy-to-play neck profiles, and radical styling, forever changing the face of Fender acoustics.

Today, Fender California Vintage models directly harken back to their mid-century origins, with a retro look, adding 21st-century performance and a rich, refined acoustic sound – a true modern alternative that carries on the classic Fender legacy.

Designed with an innovative Performance-X bracing, the Fender California Vintage Palomino's intermediate-sized auditorium body is crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top, and solid Ovangkol back and sides, naturally producing a versatile and articulate voice with exceptional detail and definition. An ergonomic modern "V" profile was chosen for the Okoume neck with a 25.5" (648mm) scale length for optimal sustain, and an angled headstock with 6 in-line tuners featuring maple overlays for a distinctive look that echoes the DNA of Fender electric guitars.

Other important details include an Ovangkol fretboard with binding and retro-look rectangular inlays, vintage-style tuners for precise and smooth tuning, and bone nut and saddle for superior harmonic character. Designed to meet every performer's needs, the Fishman Sonitone Plus preamp system offers soundhole-mounted controls that blend an under-saddle piezo pickup with an internal body transducer to allow for faithful and reliable reproduction of the guitar's natural sound when connected to an amplifier or recording device.

A vintage-style hardshell case is included. Bold, attractive, and unique, the California Series instruments make no compromises, combining cutting-edge style, superior tone, and natural playability, for those who truly want to play something different.
