Fender Redondo Special, Dreadnought Electro-Acoustic, Honey Burst

Full Description

All-solid okoume body for rich tone

At the heart of the Fender Redondo Special is its all-solid okoume construction, delivering a warm, resonant, and full-bodied tone with exceptional dynamic range. The solid top, back, and sides ensure long-term tonal development, allowing the guitar’s voice to become even richer over time. Okoume is a premium tonewood known for its balanced character and earthy aesthetic, offering an appealing alternative to mahogany. From strummed open chords to picked melodic lines, the Redondo Special responds with clarity and warmth, making it a versatile choice across acoustic styles.

Fishman Flex Body system for natural amplification

Perfect for live performance and studio recording, the onboard Fishman Flex Body preamp system gives you precise control over your amplified sound. Combining an undersaddle piezo pickup and an internal body transducer, this innovative setup allows you to blend the two sources for the most authentic representation of the guitar’s acoustic tone. With controls for volume, tone, and phase, it’s easy to shape your sound and eliminate feedback on stage. Plug into an amp, a PA system or your recording interface with confidence, knowing your tone will be faithfully reproduced.

Comfortable slim neck and Strat-style headstock

Fender’s electric guitar heritage shines through in the Redondo Special’s slim “C”-shaped mahogany neck and distinctive tilt-back 6-in-line Stratocaster headstock. The satin urethane finish keeps the neck fast and comfortable, ideal for extended playing sessions. The 25.5" scale length offers familiar string tension and articulation that’s easy to adapt to, especially for electric players moving to acoustic. Combined with a Pau Ferro fingerboard, this neck delivers excellent playability and smooth tonal response for everything from complex chord voicings to melodic lead work.

Premium features and deluxe protection

Designed with both style and function in mind, the Redondo Special includes a host of premium appointments. A maple rosette and body binding elevate the visual appeal, while a modern Viking bridge and bone nut and saddle enhance sustain and resonance. Ebony bridge pins with mother-of-pearl dots add a refined finishing touch and contribute to tonal stability. A deluxe gig bag is included, offering padded backpack straps, durable construction, and ample storage—making this guitar ready for the road as well as everyday use at home.
