- Hey, everyone. This is Matt Safranek with Fender.
In this video, it's all about
the Fender California Traditional Series of acoustics.
The initial relaunch of the California Series
was filled with unique,
colorful body shapes and 6-in-line headstocks
to showcase Fender's unique offering
of acoustic instruments.
With the newest updates to the California Series,
we kept all these features,
but made some additions that harken back to the roots
of the acoustic guitar.
Let's dive in a little further.
After making a mark with all the unique features
California Series brought to the table,
our next step was to put Fender's flair
on the guitars that came before.
With finishes such as sunburst, aged cognac burst,
natural spruce and natural mahogany,
these guitars are sure to appeal to players at any level.
So there are three levels in the series,
Player, Special, and Classic.
I'm gonna start off with the Malibu Player.
I'll play a little bit,
and then we can talk about the features.

Player features include natural and sunburst finishes,
which I have here,
6-in-line headstock, and a Fishman pickup preamp system.
Next up, I have the Redondo Special.
The features include an open pore mahogany finish,
the tilt-back headstock,
a feature that adds warmth to the guitar
for a well-rounded tone.
This is achieved by adding more downward pressure
and higher tension behind the nut.
It features Fishman PM electronics,
and it comes with a gig bag.

Next up, I have the Newporter Classic.
This one comes in gloss aged cognac burst,
and it also features a tilt-back headstock,
Fishman PM electronics, and a gig bag.
