Fender King Vintage Ov Aged Natural

California Roots, the "Vintage King" Spirit

Born from the boldness of the 1960s West Coast, the King Vintage reinterprets Fender's historic acoustics designed by Roger Rossmeisl. This model from the California series embraces a retro look (angled headstock, "Block" inlays, aged binding) while delivering perfectly modern performance. A credible alternative to classic dreadnoughts, it retains the Fender DNA in a guitar designed for playing, recording, and traveling.

Who Is It For and Which Styles?

Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists, the King Vintage also suits demanding beginners seeking a versatile instrument. Its dreadnought body combined with Performance-X bracing makes it comfortable for pop/rock strumming, folk, country, and vocal accompaniment, while offering enough precision and balance for modern fingerstyle.

Sound

The solid Sitka spruce top provides attack, clarity, and a wide dynamic range, while the solid ovangkol back and sides deliver silky mids, present lows, and balanced highs. The Performance-X bracing, advanced and scalloped, frees the top's movement for broad projection and fine nuances. The 25.5" / 648 mm scale length optimizes string tension for natural sustain and precise response. Bone nut and saddle, "Vintage Viking" bridge, and ovangkol fingerboard ensure crisp attack, reliable intonation, and harmonic richness. Plugged in, the Fishman Sonitone Plus system intelligently blends piezo and body transducer to reproduce an organic, low-noise acoustic tone.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Use a set of phosphor bronze strings .012-.052 (Fender 60L reference) to maintain original tension and balance. A capo for 16" radius (or universal clamp capo) will preserve tuning accuracy and comfort on this fingerboard. To protect the instrument, use a soundhole humidifier and a lint-free microfiber cloth. A vintage-style hard case is included.
