Mid-size orchestra body

The Fender California Standard Monterey features a comfortable mid-size orchestra body that produces a clear, balanced tone. Its versatile shape offers excellent projection and definition for strumming, fingerpicking or melodic solo work.

Durable sapele construction

The all-laminate sapele body provides a warm and consistent sound while offering strong durability. This construction helps the guitar handle temperature and humidity changes, delivering reliable performance in a range of environments.

Smooth okoume neck

The slim okoume neck with a walnut fingerboard delivers a smooth, comfortable playing experience. The C-shaped profile sits naturally in your hand, making chord transitions easy and allowing for longer, more enjoyable sessions.

Stable hardware performance

Die-cast sealed tuners provide accurate, stable tuning, while the modern Viking bridge keeps intonation solid. With quality hardware throughout, the Monterey stays in tune and performs consistently every time you pick it up.
