Description
The Sonoran SCE brings a slice of Southern California surf culture to the acoustic-electric world, wrapped in a striking Lake Placid Blue finish that pairs with vintage-inspired touches throughout. A three-ply pickguard, bone nut and compensated bone saddle, and the classic Fender “Viking” bridge give this dreadnought serious retro character without sacrificing modern playability.
Tonally, the solid spruce top with scalloped X bracing delivers the projection and clarity you’d expect from a well-built dreadnought, while laminated mahogany back and sides round out the low end with warmth and body. The slightly tightened dreadnought cutaway shape keeps the traditional dreadnought voice intact while opening up easy access to the upper frets.
Details matter here: a checkerboard rosette and body binding nod to Fender’s heritage, while the vintage C-shaped maple neck feels comfortable in hand and stays true thanks to its dual-action truss rod. The headstock is shaped and painted to match a Stratocaster, tying the acoustic back to Fender’s electric lineage. A forward strap button with internal block reinforcement means you can gig confidently without worrying about strain on the body.
Plugged in, the Fishman Isys III system with active onboard preamp and built-in tuner makes stage and studio use straightforward, giving you reliable amplified tone and quick tuning checks between sets.
