Drawing from Fender’s long tradition of reshaping the acoustic experience for bold and curious players, the California Standard Redondo™ Mini delivers that same spirit in a compact, travel-ready form. Its scaled-down dreadnought body offers an inviting feel for younger musicians, smaller players, or anyone wanting an easy-going acoustic that still carries unmistakable Fender character.
From its early roots in Southern California’s surf, sunshine, and creative spirit, Fender’s approach to acoustic design has always celebrated freedom, expression, and individuality. The first flat-top acoustics of the 1960s were built to travel – from beach jams to recording studios – blending reliability with unmistakable Fender character. The modern California Series proudly continues that tradition, honouring Fender’s heritage while embracing contemporary comfort, tone, and craftsmanship.
The Redondo captures the heart of this series with its distinctive dreadnought body, strong projection, and confident aesthetic. Designed for players who like to stand out, it balances iconic looks with exceptional comfort. The 22¾" scale slim “C”-shaped neck makes for a smooth, accessible feel across the fretboard, perfect for rhythm players and fingerstyle musicians alike.
The miniature dreadnought shape provides a comfortable hold and a focused, lively voice, making it well suited to home practice, songwriting sessions, and on-the-go playing. The short 22¾" scale enhances accessibility, reducing string tension for a softer, more forgiving feel without compromising musicality.
The Redondo Mini pairs a miniature dreadnought body with a short 22¾" scale and a slim “C”-shaped neck, offering a comfortable hold and relaxed hand positioning. Its focused, lively voice and reduced string tension create a forgiving, approachable feel, making it ideal for home practice, songwriting, travel, or players at any stage of their musical journey.
The Redondo Mini combines a spruce top with sapele back and sides for a clear, balanced tone that works well for strumming and light fingerstyle. Its all-laminate construction ensures stability when travelling, while the gloss finish adds durability and shine. Sealed gear tuners provide reliable, accurate tuning, and thoughtful touches like the walnut bridge, black binding, and signature Fender headstock complete a design that delivers both practicality with the classic Fender style. Perfect for players seeking a small acoustic with big personality, the Redondo Mini offers a dependable and enriching experience.
