DESCRIPTION
Rooted in over a decade of thoughtful design, the Fender California Deluxe Series is built to go wherever the music leads you. The California Deluxe Monterey E raises the standard with refined construction and a sound that rises to any occasion.
Whether you're writing at home or performing on stage, the Monterey E is built to keep up. Its classic folk-style body offers a comfortable, natural feel that encourages hours of play, delivering focused, articulate tone and an intimate character that connects the player to the instrument. The solid Sitka Spruce top and laminate Mahogany back and sides, reinforced by scalloped X bracing, produce a tone that's full, balanced and unmistakably alive.
The 12"-radius satin Mahogany C-shaped neck with vintage-style frets accommodates a range of playing styles, balancing effortless chord work with bend-friendly lead playing. Sealed gear split-shaft tuning keys hold your tuning through the longest sets, a Micarta nut and saddle maximize tonal transfer string to string, and phosphor bronze strings deliver rich, full-bodied tone from the first note.
When it's time to plug in, the onboard Fishman CD-1 preamp with built-in tuner handles stage-ready amplification while preserving the guitar's natural acoustic character. Versatile, refined and ready for anything - that's the California Deluxe Series.
