Get to know them!





Harkening back to their colorful acoustics of the 1960s, Fender’s Redondo Player acoustic-electric guitar delivers rich, big-bodied tone, smooth playability, and eye-popping visuals that include a striking finish, a matching 6-in-line headstock, a contrast pickguard, and aged white binding. The Redondo Player features Sapele back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top. Under the hood of this slope-shouldered American classic is Fender’s proprietary top bracing for minimal mass and maximum resonance. It sports a Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle for optimized sustain and a Fishman Flex preamp system that faithfully delivers the guitar’s natural sound. Wrap your hand around the fast slim-taper “C”-profile nato neck; let your fingers dance on the walnut fretboard.

Surf's up





This laid-back California Series Fender acoustic-electric guitar is effortless to play, so go on and surf the fingerboard. The second you strum a chord, you'll be delighted by the Redondo Player's powerful voice ? it has a solid Sitka spruce top for full acoustic character you're going to love. But the Redondo Player also has style. Just take a look at that eye-catching finish and Fender Strat headstock ? the Redondo Player exudes attitude.





Great tone in a guitar that begs to be played





Another sweet thing about the Redondo Player is that you get killer acoustic tone without spending a fortune. This is an excellent "first guitar" and a great choice for any seasoned acoustic player. In the name of tone, the Redondo Player has a solid spruce top, a popular acoustic guitar tonewood yielding a round and powerful voice. This is the kind of guitar you'll want to bring into the coffee shop and hit the next open mic. Of course, the playability is pure Fender all the way. It has a cutaway body style, so it's easy to play up and down the neck. And speaking of the neck, it has a vintage "C"-shaped carve, so the Redondo Player will fit perfectly into your hand.





Built-in pickup system delivers natural tone onstage





Hit the stage with confidence with your Redondo Player. It has a Fishman preamp system onboard, so you can plug right in and get to playing with complete control over your volume and tone. Fishman is a leader in acoustic amplification, and their electronics have been favorites of Sweetwater guitarists for years. Plugged in onstage or in the studio, the Redondo Player delivers the guitar's expressive natural voice through an amp, PA system, or into the console.
