The Fender California Standard Monterey CE Electro Acoustic Guitar, Natural Sapele brings Fender’s unmistakable style and sound to an elegant, performance-ready acoustic. Built with a solid sapele top and sapele back and sides, the Monterey CE offers a warm, articulate tone with clear midrange definition and impressive low-end depth. Its grand auditorium body shape strikes the perfect balance between power and comfort, ideal for both fingerstyle and strumming.
The slim “C”-shaped mahogany neck with walnut fingerboard provides exceptional playability, while the cutaway design gives easy access to higher frets. For live performance, the Fender/Fishman CD-1 preamp system delivers a natural, expressive amplified tone with onboard EQ and tuner controls. Finished in Natural Sapele with a gloss top, black binding, and a painted matching headstock, the Monterey CE embodies Fender’s California spirit — a blend of craftsmanship, comfort, and stage-ready style.
