Southern California Influence

The Fender Sonoran SCE V2 electro acoustic guitar is influenced by the laid-back attitude of southern California. It fuses a traditional dreadnought body with a Stratocaster electric guitar neck for a bohemian aesthetic that will bring a stylish look to wherever you perform, whether that is the local coffee house or on the beach. The inclusion of a Stratocaster guitar neck gives you the tonality of an acoustic guitar with some of the easy playability of an electric guitar, making it quite a unique proposition with a distinct feel.

Quality Tonewoods

The Sonoran SCE V2 has a solid spruce top for a bright tonal quality. It is braced with scalloped X-bracing for enhanced resonance and, when combined with the mahogany back and sides in the large dreadnought body shape, produces a well-balanced acoustic tone that will sound great on its own or with a singer. Scalloped X-bracing usually features on more expensive guitars, and lends the Sonoran excellent sustain and resonance, both unplugged and amplified. The neck has a comfortable 'C' shape for easy playability and a relaxed playing feel. The single cutaway design allows you to reach the top frets of the neck with greater ease, perfect for solo moments or playing with a capo at the higher range.

Amplified Performance

The Sonoran SCE V2 has a built-in Fishman Isys III pickup/preamp system for the ability to plug into an amplifier and get playing on-stage or in louder rehearsals. The preamp has a handy tuner and 3-band EQ allowing you to shape your tone and make quick tuning adjustments during a performance. This makes it the ideal instrument to practice with at home and then take to the gig to be used in louder stage environments.

Whether you're playing unplugged or amplified, the Sonoran SCE V2 has tonal versatility and balance alongside unique looks to stand out from the crowd.

Reviews

Guitarist Magazine gave the Sonoran 4.5 stars out of 5

"Right from the off, then, this fun-packed Fender offers something different from the norm and that may be enough to win it friends. That it's an easy player with satisfying sounds and capable electro-acoustic abilities to boot adds up to an easy buying choice if you're taken with the looks."
