The Fender Monterey Standard Electro Acoustic in Black Top features a body crafted entirely from laminated sapele wood. This choice of tonewood ensures that the guitar strikes a perfect balance of durability, stability, and incredible sound. Sapele wood is visually striking with its deep, rich wood grain, and it is highly regarded for its warm, nuanced tonality and natural sonic balance. With this guitar, you can expect a satisfyingly warm and balanced tone that is well-suited for a variety of playing styles.
One of the standout features of the Monterey Standard is its short scale length of 24.75 inches. This refers to the distance from the nut to the bridge. The shorter scale length results in lower string tension, which translates to reduced effort required to fret each note. This means less hand fatigue during long playing sessions. Whether you're strumming chords or playing intricate melodies, the shorter scale length of this guitar will make playing a breeze.
The Fender Monterey Standard Electro Acoustic is equipped with the Fender FE-A2 preamp system. This compact and easy-to-use preamp system allows for faithful reproduction of the guitar's natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or recording device. It features intuitive volume and tone controls, making it simple to dial in the perfect sound. Additionally, the preamp system includes an onboard tuner, allowing for convenient on-the-fly adjustments. With the Fender preamp system, you can easily achieve the ideal tone for your performance or recording needs.
Drawing inspiration from Fender's iconic electric guitar design, the Monterey Standard features a 6-in-line headstock. This headstock shape is reminiscent of Fender's legendary Stratocaster guitars and adds a touch of rock-and-roll attitude to this acoustic-electric instrument. It gives the guitar a distinctive look that stands out from the crowd and showcases its connection to Fender's electric guitar heritage. With the 6-in-line headstock, you can make a bold statement both in terms of style and sound.
Designed for optimal playability, the Monterey Standard boasts a slim "C"-shaped neck profile. This neck profile takes inspiration from Fender's electric guitars, offering superior hand comfort. The consistent shallow depth of the "C"-shaped profile, along with rounded fingerboard edges, ensures that playing this guitar feels effortless. Whether you're playing open chords, intricate fingerpicking patterns, or lightning-fast solos, the slim "C"-shaped neck profile will provide a comfortable playing experience and allow you to fully express your musical creativity.
The Monterey Standard is designed with narrowed string spacing at the bridge, measuring just 2 inches in total width. This feature is especially beneficial for players with small hands or those seeking reduced picking-hand fatigue. The narrow string spacing makes picking, fingerpicking, and strumming comfortable at any stage of your playing journey. With this guitar, you'll be able to play with precision and ease, regardless of your hand size or playing style.
