In collaboration with legendary luthier Roger Rossmeisl, Leo released several unique acoustic models that embodied the character that made Fender a symbol of the rock-and-roll revolution, including unmistakable headstock shapes, easy-to-play neck profiles and radical styling, changing the face of Fender Acoustics forever. Today's Fender California Vintage models draw directly from their mid-century origins with a retro visual vibe, adding 21st century performance and a rich, refined acoustic tone - a true modern alternative with classic Fender heritage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEngineered with an innovative Performance X™ bracing pattern, the approachable concert-sized body of the Fender California Vintage Malibu™ is lightly crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid ovangkol back and sides to effortlessly produce a sweet, focused voice with exceptional nuance and balance. An ergonomic modern \"V\" profile was chosen for the the okoume neck along with a short 25\" scale length for warm tonal response, and a tilt-back 6-in-line headstock with a maple headcap for a distinctive look born from Fender's electric guitar DNA. Other notable details include a bound ovangkol fingerboard with pearloid block inlays for a throwback look, vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning, and a bone nut and saddle for superior harmonic character. Designed for the performer, the onboard Fishman® Presys VT Plus preamp system features seamless soundhole-mounted controls that blend an undersaddle piezo and internal body transducer to allow faithful and reliable reproduction of the guitar's natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or recording device. A vintage-style hardshell case is included.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBold, eye-catching and unique, California Series instruments make no compromises balancing standout style, superior sound and effortless playability for those who aspire to play something different.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-truncate=\"\" data-truncate-chars=\"200\" data-truncate-ellipsis=\"\" data-truncate-more-text=\"Show More\" data-truncate-less-text=\"Show Less\" data-truncate-buttons=\"\" data-truncate-orig-text=\"\u0026lt;div class=\u0026quot;accordion-item_content-text\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;font id=\u0026quot;bluejay\u0026quot;\u0026gt; \n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The Fender Buck Owens Signature Kingman acoustic-electric guitar lets you craft the bright, twangy sound of the Bakersfield country music scene.
