Description

Channeling the audacious spirit of Southern California from the early 1960s, the Fender California Vintage Palomino Acoustic-Electric Guitar pays homage to the golden era of acoustic innovations spearheaded by Leo Fender and renowned luthier Roger Rossmeisl. Their quest to redefine the acoustic landscape brought forth models that challenged conventions, from headstock designs to pioneering neck profiles.

The Fender Palomino seamlessly merges this illustrious heritage with modern-day craftsmanship. Its auditorium body, constructed from solid Sitka spruce and solid ovangkol, boasts the innovative Performance-X bracing pattern, yielding a detailed and balanced tonal response. This guitar's voice is complemented by its aesthetic charm: a Sienna Burst top contrasted by natural back and sides, all enveloped in a gleaming gloss finish.

The guitar's neck, carved from okoume, sports a modern “V" profile, delivering both comfort and solid sustain. A nod to Fender's rich history is evident in the tilt-back 6-in-line headstock, adorned with a maple headcap. The bound ovangkol fingerboard, graced with pearloid block inlays, evokes vintage charm, further accentuated by nickel vintage-style tuning machines with aged white buttons. At the heart of its electronics, the Fishman Sonitone Plus preamp system captures the guitar’s natural resonance, offering a blend between an undersaddle piezo and an internal body transducer, ensuring authentic amplified tones.

Each Fender Palomino is completed with a Graph Tech NuBone nut, a Modern Viking bridge, and housed in a vintage-style hardshell case. This guitar, with its blend of time-honored designs and contemporary enhancements, stands as a testament to Fender's commitment to offering instruments that transcend time, inviting musicians to embrace their own creative journey.
