Fender Villager 12 String Acoustic Electric Guitar Aged Natural – Inspired by the iconic designs of Fender electric guitars, California Player acoustics evoke the west coast spirit of adventure and freedom, inviting musicians to explore their individual creativity and disrupt the status quo. Crafted with an X-braced solid spruce top and sapele back and sides, the Villager™ 12-string features a non-cutaway Newporter auditorium body shape which produces a versatile voice that’s both articulate and powerful while offering a comfortable feel for hours of inspiration. The nato neck is designed with an easy-to-play slim “C”-shaped profile featuring graphite reinforcement rods for stability, a 24.75″ scale length for comfortable tension, and a 1960s-inspired “hockey stick” headstock for a distinctive look born from Fender’s acoustic heritage. Other notable details include vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning, a GraphTech® NuBone® nut and saddle for signature 12-string chime, and a Fishman® Flex preamp system that allows faithful reproduction of the guitar’s natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or recording device. A deluxe gig bag is included. Bold, eye-catching and unique, California Series instruments make no compromises balancing effortless playability, superior sound, and standout style for those who aspire to play something different.

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.
