Fender has announced the biggest expansion of its California Series lineup of acoustic guitars and basses since its launch in 2018, with classic designs such as the King, Palomini and Malibu all refreshed with vintage-inspired specs.
There are 13 new models in total, with 12-strings such as the Villager, punchy short-scale cutaway acoustic bass guitars such as the Kingman (which wears that Shaded Edge Burst well), and a wide range of body shapes including the concert-bodied Malibu Vintage, the historically accurate dreadnought-bodied King Vintage, and auditorium-bodied Palomino.
