Fender California Standard Redondo Spruce Top IPG Black

California Series: Fender Acoustic Guitars with a Strong Character

Inspired by Fender's heritage and spirit of innovation, the California Series offers acoustic guitars designed for musicians seeking a strong identity, distinctive design, and modern playability. The California Standard Redondo fits this line with its revisited "Redondo" dreadnought silhouette, Jazzmaster headstock, and reliability-focused construction-perfect for frequent playing anywhere.

Who is the California Standard Redondo for?

This acoustic guitar suits both beginners looking for an easy-to-handle dreadnought and intermediate players wanting a solid folk guitar for accompaniment, composing, or rhythm practice. Its size and projection make it comfortable for pop, acoustic rock, country, folk, and chanson, with excellent performance for fingerstyle and pick playing.

Sound

The laminate spruce top provides clarity and attack, ideal for chords that stand out clearly in the mix. The laminate sapele back and sides enhance the midrange and add controlled warmth, while maintaining stable response against temperature and humidity changes. The dreadnought body shape promotes generous projection, with present bass and good breadth for rhythmic playing. The walnut fretboard and bridge contribute to a natural playing feel and pleasant tonal balance, while the 25.5" / 648 mm scale length supports good note sustain and consistent resonance.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the original feel, choose Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings in .011-.052 gauge (same gauge as factory setup). If you want more flexibility, a lighter gauge can facilitate bends and barre chords, while a heavier gauge will increase power with more tension.
