In the imposing form of the King Vintage, Fender bring back one of the most classic, early-sixties dreadnoughts. In the past, this time-honoured acoustic guitar could be seen in the hands of none other than rock-and-roll legend like Elvis Presley and West Coast country-star Buck Owens. This iconic electro-acoustic guitar combines old-school specs with modern build quality and, as such, comes compete with its own vintage-style hardshell case. The King Vintage: Rooted Vibes, Royal Core Sound To enhance the rich acoustic sound of the solid Sitka spruce top with warmth and a tasteful dose of resonant harmonics, Fender have opted for a solid ovangkol back and sides. Add that to the relatively flat 16-inch fretboard radius, the modern V-profile neck and the bone nut, and you've got gig-grade playing comfort and stability. Speaking of gigs, the California Series King Vintage has been equipped with a Fishman Sonitone Plus preamp, an undersaddle piezo pickup and an internal body transducer pickup so you're assured of spot-on amplified sound. Finished with vintage-style tuners and a tilt-back 6-in-line headstock, this fresh-and-affordable reissue is nothing short of a gem for fans of guitars from the 1960s.
