Description

Unleash your inner musician with the Fender Kingman ASCE V3, a harmonious blend of classic design and modern innovation. This acoustic-electric guitar is crafted for those who crave a perfect marriage of style, sound, and versatility. Inspired by the laid-back vibe of SoCal beaches, this guitar sports a distinctively elegant dreadnought body that resonates with rich, full-bodied tones.

At the heart of the Kingman ASCE is a solid spruce top, paired with solid mahogany back and sides, producing a warm, articulate sound that only gets better with time. The forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing enhances its dynamic range, allowing for everything from gentle fingerpicking to robust strumming. A sleek maple neck with a comfortable C profile ensures smooth playability, while the classic black Stratocaster headstock adds a touch of Fender's iconic style.

Whether you're strumming at a beach bonfire or performing on stage, the onboard Fishman electronics provide clear, natural amplification. The cutaway design offers easy access to higher frets, making this guitar as versatile as it is beautiful. From its classic Viking-style bridge to the eye-catching finish, the Kingman ASCE is a testament to Fender's commitment to quality craftsmanship and innovative design.
