Back in the early 1960s in Southern California a fearless creative culture was abound and Leo Fender was on a mission to design a fresh collection of acoustic instruments that captured the innovative spirit that permeated the artists around him. In collaboration with legendary luthier Roger Rossmeisl Leo released several unique acoustic models that embodied the character that made Fender a symbol of the rock-and-roll revolution including unmistakable headstock shapes easy-to-play neck profiles and radical styling changing the face of Fender Acoustics forever. Todays Fender California Vintage models draw directly from their mid-century origins with a retro visual vibe adding 21st century performance and a rich refined acoustic tone - a true modern alternative with classic Fender heritage.

Other notable details include a bound ovangkol fingerboard with pearloid block inlays for a throwback look vintage-style tuning machines for smooth accurate tuning and a bone nut and saddle for superior harmonic character.
