Overview

An acoustic-electric guitar with balanced tone and sleek playability.

The Fender California Standard Monterey CE Limited-Edition acoustic-electric guitar blends classic construction with modern features for players who want a reliable, easy-to-play instrument. Built with a mid-size orchestra body, the Monterey CE provides a balanced sound that supports both solo practice and ensemble performance. The laminate spruce top and sapele back and sides create a full, articulate voice that works well for fingerstyle or light strumming. A slim C-shaped neck profile, finished in gloss urethane, feels comfortable and quick under the hand. Onboard Fender electronics with a digital tuner make amplified gigs and recording sessions straightforward. Students and soloists who value sound quality and practical tools will appreciate what this acoustic-electric brings to their playing experience.

Onboard Fender Electronics With Integrated Tuner Simplify Amplification

The guitar features built-in Fender electronics, including a preamp and a digital tuner. Players use the volume and tone knobs to adjust their amplified sound, and the tuner's on/off switch with low battery indicator keeps tuning accurate during rehearsals or shows. This system is designed for quick setup on stage, letting players focus on their music instead of gear issues.

Mid-Size Orchestra Body Supports Balanced, Detailed Tone

The Monterey CE uses an orchestra-style body shape, known for delivering a balanced response across lows, mids and highs. Its single cutaway provides easier access to higher frets, and the laminate spruce top helps project a crisp, clear sound. This body design is comfortable for extended sessions, making it well-suited to soloists and students learning new material.

Slim C-Shaped Neck and Walnut Fingerboard Increase Comfort

The neck uses okoume wood with a slim C-shaped profile, making the instrument easy to hold and play. An oiled walnut fingerboard with vintage-sized frets helps fingers move smoothly between chords and notes. Die-cast sealed tuners and a dual-action truss rod support stable tuning and quick adjustments, so players can spend more time playing and less time maintaining the instrument.

Gloss Finish and Laminate Construction Deliver Durability

All-laminate construction with sapele back and sides resists changes from temperature and humidity. The gloss polyurethane finish protects the surface from scratches and wear, while the modern Viking bridge and Micarta nut add stability. The dual-ring inlaid rosette and black pickguard enhance visual appeal, making the Monterey CE a solid choice for players who want lasting value in their guitar.

Monterey CE Acoustic-Electric Supports Focused, Reliable Performance

Players who value comfort, clarity and practical features will find the Monterey CE supports consistent performance in lessons, practice, and live settings. Its balanced tone and reliable electronics make it a dependable companion, helping musicians hear every detail and stay in tune—no matter where they play.
