Hey all,

If you're looking for a true gem for your Fender collection, there are a few amazing Master Designed Custom Shop acoustics that certainly fit the bill, including an incredible new Kingman™ model and a stunning 12-string dreadnought that were both crafted by master luthiers in New Hartford, Conn.

Both guitars feature a striking pairing of a solid Carpathian spruce top with scalloped and quartersawn red spruce bracing for optimal vintage tone. They also sport a comfortable "soft V" neck profile and a bright 20-fret ebony fingerboard with a 10" radius.

The Kingman above is available in a limited 24-guitar run, was which divided into three groups of eight and given a unique stain that adds to its eminent exclusivity, along with quilt maple back and sides. It also features the model's traditional Stratocaster headstock and bridge, an eye-catching checkerboard rosette and white binding for added looks, and a Fishman® Matrix™ Infinity pickup/preamp for quality amplification.

As always, thanks for checking in, everyone!

"Master Designed"? I would think that all guitars are master designed, or does Fender normally let apprentices design guitars too, not just build them?

If it were master built, I'd give that truly gorgeous 12 a try. Factory built, I'm not sure it's worth twice of a Martin D12-28.
It does look great, though.

"crafted by master luthiers in New Hartford, Conn."

Interesting.

Probably why there's a V-neck on the guitar. I've never seen a V-neck on a Fender acoustic before. Always that stuipd 'modern C'. :?
