DESCRIPTION
Rooted in over a decade of thoughtful design, the California Deluxe Series is built to go wherever the music leads you. The California Deluxe Monterey E Mahogany raises the standard with refined construction and a sound that rises to any occasion — at home, in the studio or on stage.
The classic folk-style body offers a comfortable, natural feel that encourages hours of play, delivering focused, articulate tone with an intimate character that connects the player to the instrument. A solid mahogany top paired with laminate mahogany back and sides, reinforced by scalloped X bracing, produces an earthy voice that's full in the mids, smooth in the highs and perfectly punchy.
Playability comes from a satin-finished mahogany neck carved to a slim "C" shape, topped with a walnut fingerboard, a 12" radius and 20 vintage-style frets — a combination that balances easy chord work with bend-friendly lead playing. Sealed gear split-shaft tuning keys hold your tuning through the longest sets, while a Micarta nut and saddle maximize tonal transfer from string to string.
When it's time to plug in, the onboard Fishman CD-1 preamp system delivers stage-ready amplification with volume, bass and treble controls, phase and an integrated tuner, all in a low-profile package that preserves the guitar's natural acoustic character. Versatile, refined and ready for anything — that's the California Deluxe Series.
