Whether you’re writing at home or performing on stage, the California Deluxe Villager™ E is built to keep up. Its 12-string configuration delivers a naturally lush, shimmering tone that fills every depth and dimension – offering the kind of rich, chorus-like sound that turns a simply chord into something unforgettable. The solid Sitka Spruce top and laminate Mahogany back and sides – reinforced by scalloped X-bracing – produce a tone that’s full, balanced and unmistakably alive. Additional features include, sealed gear split-shaft tuning keys hold your tuning through the longest sets, a Micarta® nut and saddle maximize tonal transfer string to string, and coated phosphor bronze strings mean more playing, less changing. Plug in with confidence with the onboard Fishman® CD-1 preamp system with onboard tuner for stage-ready amplification.

Versatile. Refined. Ready for anything. That’s the California Deluxe Series
