Ranging in vibrant colours, inspired by the California lifestyle, this one-of-a-kind series defies the classic conventions of acoustic guitars. Featuring the Stratocaster headstocks and distinctive Fender body shapes, they mark players as visionary artists. The body shapes are unique to Fender with vintage-inspired looks and modern tonal characteristics.

The pandemic saw 16 million new players learn to play the guitar in the US. These new learners can download the Fender Play app to engage in a step-by-step, song-based approach with the nuances that come with developing their guitar playing skills: in turn, creating a new wave of musicians.

For first-time players, the key features include three exclusive body shapes to fit every new player with three different options to choose from: Malibu, Newporter, and the Redondo.

A built-in digital tuner is included to allow for the perfect in-tune sound, there is a CD-1 Fishman pickup and preamp system to plug into an amp, and six in-line tuning machines on the instantly recognisable Fender headstock, making it easier to tune your guitar whilst playing.
