The past 15 months has seen the world go big for small-bodied acoustic guitars. Whether we are looking for a travel guitar or simply a playable couch-buddy, small is beautiful, and Fender's new California Minis are getting in on the action.
Comprising the California Series Sonoran Mini and Redondo Mini, these compact, short-scale acoustic guitars feature walnut fingerboards and bridges, Nubone nuts and saddles, and a good and tactile satin finish. The six-in-line Strat headstock is a nice touch too.
Available with an all-mahogany or spruce topped and mahogany build, the Sonoran Mini boasts a very approachable 23.3" scale and a slope-shouldered Folk body shape, while the Redondo Mini has squarer shoulders and is offered in Natural or Sunburst finishes, and features the classic spruce on top and mahogany back and sides tonewood configuration.
Fender has unveiled "five new weirdos" with the latest Alternate Reality series of electric guitars.
The series follows 2018's Parallel Universe line of odd guitars. You can check them out below, along with the descriptions from the source."Seemingly capitalising on the ever-increasing trend for a humbucker/P-90 'best of both' pickup approach, the Powercaster pairs an Atomic humbucker and single-coil soap-bar pickup. The neck is made from roasted maple, while an offset alder body, hardtail bridge and simple switching add to its 'function with flair' feel." Music Radar Reports
Vintage styled Stratocasters and Telecasters sit alongside some more modern incarnations of the Jazzmaster and Jaguar, as well as three new Bass models and Floyd Rose equipped Strat among many others.
