Thanks to its mid-sized Newporter build and a pleasantly short 628mm scale, the Fender Villager 12-String Aged Natural promises excellent playability across all 20 frets. In addition, the neck is equipped with a flat slim 'C' profile, which makes for a decidedly welcome playing feel. Sonically, meanwhile, the mid-sized acoustic guitar impresses with its wide-ranging 12-string sound that is rich in midrange and treble frequencies, allowing the natural chorus effect of the double-stringing to come through excellently. The instrument's function is undoubtedly completed by the integrated Fishman pickup system, which can be tuned to the particular amplifier in a very user-friendly way. The guitar is rounded off by its attractive Natural high-gloss finish and the included sturdy case.
Structure and woodsThanks to the solid spruce top, the sound gets strong midrange as well as clear treble frequencies, so the Fender Villager comes through powerfully, especially when strumming. Back and sides made of laminated Sapele additionally enrich the sound with a pleasant warmth in the bass range. Also, the playability leaves nothing to be desired. The flat nato neck is equipped with a walnut fingerboard that guarantees effortless gliding of the picking hand over all frets. The Modern Viking bridge is also made of the finest walnut.
Hardware and designThe striking field hockey stick headstock features smooth nickel tuners for precise tuning, while the nickel tailpiece guides the strings straight to the 45 mm wide nut made of Graph Tech Nubone, so that the acoustic guitar intonates perfectly over the entire scale length of 628 mm. Visually, the Villager is enriched by a delicate single-ply binding that tastefully contrasts the natural finish. Another highlight is the tortoise pickguard, which gives the instrument its very own character.
ElectronicsIn order to amplify the acoustic sound of the Villager 12-String Aged Natural, the guitar is equipped with a high-quality Fishman Flex Preamp with piezo transducer under the bridge. The user interface is very user-friendly and clearly designed and allows a perfect mixing of the sound by means of the volume and tone controls.
