Fender California Deluxe Redondo CE Sherwood Green

The Fender California Deluxe Redondo CE Sherwood Green is a full-sized acoustic-electric guitar designed to deliver a powerful, balanced sound whether played acoustically or amplified. Its Redondo body with cutaway combines a solid Sitka spruce top with laminated mahogany back and sides, providing a lively response, good projection, and the warmth needed for strumming and accompaniment.

The mahogany neck with Slim “C” profile and satin finish offers a comfortable feel, while the rosewood fingerboard with a 12" radius facilitates both chord playing and melodic work. The Fishman CD-1 electronics allow for sound control and include a built-in tuner, making it ready for rehearsals, recordings, and live performances. Its Sherwood Green finish and Jazzmaster-style headstock complete a distinctive Fender aesthetic.
