Powerful 12-string timbre

Fender took no shortcuts when planning the Villager’s tonewood design. Topped with solid Sitka spruce, this formidable 12-string is known for its wieldy projection and balanced sonics. When paired with the guitar’s sapele back and sides, the Villager presents a powerful and flexible tonal palette with a hint of warmth in the lower register. The resulting sound is corralled by the instrument’s forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing pattern, allowing your notes to ring with unparalleled authenticity. Guitarists agree: if sonorous acoustic dynamics are what you’re after, the Villager is sure to satisfy.

A step above traditional utility

Given a collection of meticulously set nickel hardware and vintage-style tuning machines, the Villager 12-string can maneuver any performance or recording session with ease. Speaking of which, the Villager’s satin-finished slim “C” style neck is a dream to drive, offering incredible comfort and movement along all 20 frets. Also onboard is a Modern Viking bridge and Graph Tech NuBone nut, granting extra authenticity and tuning stability on its own.

Performance-ready Fishman preamp system

The Villager’s onboard Fishman Flex pickup system offers stage-worthy projection of your sound within minutes. Volume and tone knobs are available for immediate adjustment, making it a cinch to pinpoint the exact tone you’re looking for. Likewise, the Push Tone knob for phase control offers a shortcut to supreme bass response when required. Forgot your tuner pedal? No problem: this preamp system includes a built-in tuner for instant intonation success in any location.
