Summary
Overview
Drawing from a storied legacy of reimagining the acoustic experience for daring and adventurous players, California Series acoustics stand out as authentically different, undeniably timeless, and quintessentially Fender®.
The orchestra shape is cherished for its comfortable mid-size body and detailed, balanced tone, making it an ideal choice for soloists and students alike. The California Standard Monterey™ E features resilient laminate construction with a spruce top and sapele back and sides for impressive and satisfying tonal character, while a 25 ½” scale neck with a slim “C”-shaped profile provides an inviting and effortless playing feel. The onboard Fender electronics provide high-quality output for live amplification, recording and effects, as well as a convenient onboard digital tuner. Other noteworthy details include an oiled walnut fingerboard and bridge, sealed gear tuning machines for smooth and accurate tuning action, and a sleek long-lasting gloss finish.

Highlights
ICONIC HEADSTOCK
An instantly recognizable Fender design feature, the 6-in-line headstock creates a straight string pull from the nut for optimal tuning machine performance, places all tuners in a linear location for easy access, and the tilt-back design produces a consistent break angle on all strings for even response and string feel.
LAMINATE CONSTRUCTION
The top, back and sides of this model are crafted with choice laminated tonewoods to provide impressive resonance with added resilience and durability compared to solid woods.
FENDER ELECTRONICS
With a convenient onboard tuner and controls for volume and tone, this onboard electronic system brings electric versatility for players who enjoy recording, playing live, or exploring effects.
