A Californian at Heart, at the Core of the Player Series
The Redondo Player carries on Fender's Californian spirit by modernizing a silhouette developed in the 1980s. Its aesthetic codes borrowed from the brand's electric guitars - tilted "six-in-line" headstock, tortoiseshell pickguard - meet effective acoustic luthiery. Positioned in the California Player series, it offers an excellent entry point into Fender's electro-acoustic world without compromising style or playability.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Versatile and immediate, the Redondo Player is perfectly suited for ambitious beginners as well as intermediate players. Its dreadnought body with cutaway makes it comfortable for strong strumming, song accompaniment, pop/rock, and country, while remaining responsive in fingerstyle. The Fishman preamp facilitates the transition from rehearsal to live performance or home recording.
The Sound
The solid Sitka spruce top provides attack, clarity, and wide dynamics, while the sapele back and sides enhance the warmth of the midrange. The carved X bracing maximizes the resonance and projection typical of the dreadnought format, with generous sustain. The Graph Tech nut/bridge insert combination and tilted headstock optimize string angle for reliable note sustain. The walnut fingerboard and bridge complete the tonal balance, with precise highs and well-grounded lows.
