A seriously cool and relatively rare piece from Fender’s high-end acoustic output, this USA Select Kingman V blends classic dreadnought tone with unmistakable Fender electric DNA, most notably the Strat-style headstock and maple neck feel.

Built in the USA as part of Fender’s premium American Select series, this is not your average Fender acoustic; it’s an all-solid wood instrument with proper projection, balance, and a unique personality that stands apart from the usual Martin/Gibson crowd.

Condition

Very good used condition.

  • Light general play-wear throughout (small marks, light dings consistent with age)
  • No structural issues
  • Hardware and tuners are in good working order
  • Neck is clean and straight
  • Frets have plenty of life left

Overall: a well-kept example with honest cosmetic wear only.
