Fender Kingman Natural Dreadnought

FENDER 0968010 Details

The Kingman first appeared in the mid ’60s as the “King,” and some of the most recognized guitarists of the era prized it as their stage instrument before it was discontinued in the early ’70s.

Now, in 2007, our once-popular acoustic returns as the Kingman S, and it’s better than ever. The sleek new Kingman gives a nod to many of its Fender ancestors’ original vibe and features, but has been updated with a new Fender-designed dreadnought shape, solid spruce top, solid mahogany back, classic Fender keys, Fender Stratocaster® guitar headstock (of course) and soft V-shaped neck just like those found on vintage Stratocaster guitars
