The California Palomino Vintage guitar from Fender brings you back to the sounds of the ’60s by drawing directly from their mid-century origins with a retro visual vibe, while adding 21st century performance and a rich, refined acoustic tone. Engineered with an innovative Performance-X bracing pattern, the mid-size auditorium body of the Fender California Palomino Vintage is lightly crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid ovangkol back and sides to effortlessly produce a versatile, articulate voice with exceptional detail, clarity and balance. An ergonomic modern “V" profile was chosen for the the okoume neck along with a 25.5" scale length for optimal sustain, and a tilt-back 6-in-line headstock with a maple headcap for a distinctive look born from Fender’s electric guitar DNA. Other notable details include a bound ovangkol fingerboard with pearloid block inlays for a throwback look, vintage-style tuning machines for smooth tuning, plus a bone nut and saddle for superior harmonic character. Designed for the performer, the onboard Fishman Sonitone Plus preamp system features seamless soundhole-mounted controls that blend an undersaddle piezo and internal body transducer to allow faithful and reliable reproduction of the guitar’s natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or recording device. A vintage-style hardshell case is included.
