Press Release

---

Fender’s newly upgraded California series acoustic guitars offer great-sounding modern refinements while authentically evoking Fender’s classic mid-’60s era of SoCal sun, fun, fast cars and beach guitars. The guitars are pure California vibe through and through, right down to their names—the Kingman SCE™, Malibu SCE™, Sonoran S™ and Sonoran SCE™. All have been redesigned with new features including electric-feeling vintage “C”-shaped maple necks with Stratocaster® guitar-style headstocks, new vintage-inspired pickguard shapes and colors, scalloped bracing, hip checkerboard rosettes and traditional rosewood bridges.

The dreadnought cutaway Kingman SCE and the smaller, folk-style cutaway Malibu SCE models come with classy block fingerboard inlays and the Fishman® Classic 4T onboard preamp with tuner; both are available in stunning new Natural or Three-color Sunburst finishes. The Sonoran dreadnought comes in standard or cutaway body shapes in a natural finish, with Fender FTE-3 electronics.

They look 1965 cool and sound 2008 great, so grab your board, grab the gang and grab one of Fender’s new California Series acoustic guitars! Just don’t forget the sunblock …
