Overview

A uniquely designed 12-string with tons of style at a super-affordable price.

With its authentic "hockey stick" headstock from the 1960s, the Villager 12-string joins the ranks of Fender's California Player series acoustics. Originally introduced in 1965, today's Villager 12-string has been updated for the modern player's needs with a gloss black finish, comfortable cutaway Newporter shape and high-quality Fishman electronics. Acoustically, this solid spruce-topped guitar offers all the chiming resonance you expect from a great 12-string.

Case sold separately.

Bracing
Scalloped bracing is thinner than more conventional bracing. That means that the bracing pattern inside the guitar uses less wood, which means that soundboard mass is reduced. This lets the top resonate more freely, resulting in better tone with more nuance and greater projection.

Electronics
A Fishman Isys III pickup/preamp system gives the Villager 12-string peerless amplified performance, with a variety of onboard controls and no compromise whatsoever on pure, rich and resonant acoustic tone. The built-in tuner is conveniently placed right where you can see it, helping to keep your intonation right on the money.

Features

  • Fender-exclusive Newporter body shape
  • Fishman pickup/preamp system
  • Black painted solid spruce top; painted mahogany back and sides
  • Mahogany neck with slim-taper C-shaped profile; walnut fingerboard and bridge
  • Matching painted 6-in-line Villager “hockey stick” headstock
