Fender California Deluxe Monterey E - aztec gold

Combining style with tradition, and—what’s more—a joy to play, the FENDER California Deluxe Monterey E (0974651578) is an electro-acoustic steel-string acoustic guitar in the Orchestra Model style, featuring a Fishman CD-1 preamp. It is a versatile and practical model designed for beginners or intermediate-level guitarists.

The Fender California Deluxe Monterey E features a solid spruce top, a mahogany back and sides (laminated wood), a mahogany neck, and a walnut fingerboard (25.5" scale). The woods are laminated.
As a compromise between rosewood, mahogany, and maple, walnut offers a well-balanced low-mid-high frequency response combined with remarkable clarity. Its bass is rich and precise, its mids dense, and its treble full-bodied.
This combination produces a sound that is both rich and warm, with a generous yet controlled bass, prominent mids, and a full-bodied treble that never lacks clarity. Its natural acoustic volume is remarkable given its medium-sized body, though less pronounced than with a rosewood back and sides.
