AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
Inspired by Fender’s legacy of innovation, the Fender California Standard Monterey™ E brings modern playability and bold design to the world of acoustic guitars. Its comfortable orchestra-style body delivers a balanced, articulate tone ideal for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and students. Constructed with a laminated sapele top, back, and sides, the Monterey™ E offers a warm, woody voice with strong projection and excellent clarity across the tonal spectrum.
The slim “C”-shaped okoume neck and 25.5" scale length provide an effortless feel, while the walnut fingerboard and bridge add a touch of organic character. Equipped with Fender’s onboard electronics, including a built-in tuner and tone/volume controls, this guitar is performance-ready right out of the box. With its stylish ivory pickguard, chrome hardware, and sleek gloss finish, the Monterey™ E combines Fender’s modern craftsmanship with timeless acoustic appeal.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain / colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument. If you have any questions at all regarding an instrument's appearance, just drop us a line - we're always happy to send photos, and if we have more than one instrument in stock you'll be able to choose the exact guitar that you receive!
