Fender’s rich acoustic guitar history dates all the way back to the early 1960s, when the company injected
a much-needed and thoroughly modern dose of youthfully exuberant Southern California sun-and-fun
culture into the somewhat stodgy old world of acoustic guitar design.
After the phenomenal success of Fender electric guitars, basses and ampliers, beginning in the late 1940s
and throughout the rocking and rolling ’50s, it seemed only natural that the growing Fender company would
turn its attention to the acoustic guitar world. Folk music was booming in the late 1950s and early 1960s,
and acoustic guitars remained an integral part of rock ‘n’ roll, country and pop records, so Fender’s eventual
involvement with the instrument type seemed a foregone conclusion.
At that time, a Fender acoustic guitar was not one for which you dressed formally or that you displayed as
a valuable relic. It wasn’t for the hushed classical concert stage. A Fender acoustic guitar was one that you
threw in the backseat and headed for the beach to join the gang. They were for the coffee house and the
campre. Fender acoustics were good-sounding, cool-looking instruments that were
a blast to play, as seen in the classic Fender advertisements of the ’60s era. Fender
acoustic guitars were fun.
And back in the day, some pretty heavy hitters used them, from
rock strummers to country pickers—artists such as Johnny
Cash, George Jones, Buck Owens and even the king of rock
‘n’ roll himself, Elvis Presley.
Fender began advertising its acoustic guitar line in 1963 at
the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) trade
show. They were attractive at-top instruments with unusual
features such as bolt-on necks (like Fender electric guitars),

Stratocaster® guitar headstocks, screw-attached pickguards and internal body
trusses that took stress off the top and back, enabling lighter tops with smaller
braces. Earliest models included the King, the Concert, the Classic, the Folk and
the Palomino.
Fender continued to create many new stellar models through the
mid-’60s and was recognized for exceptional innovation with the
development of the Wildwood guitars, which were introduced in 1966.
Based on the earlier King at-top model, it came in a variety of dramatic
dyed-wood colors. The Wildwood colors were created by injecting
colored dyes directly into growing beech trees many years before the
wood was actually harvested. The resulting guitars were striking in their
vibrant colors and depth of tone.
Through the 1970s and 1980s, Fender continued to produce a variety of outstanding acoustic instruments, but it was in the mid-
’80s and through the ’90s that Fender is credited with spawning a wide-ranging and popular resurgence in acoustic guitar playing
that harkens back to those early-’60s sun-and-fun acoustic models. Innovation continued in the 2000s with the creation of the new
California™ and the Classic Design series guitars.
Today, in a direct line with our rich heritage, Fender offers a
comprehensive range of acoustic instruments for everyone from
professionals to hobbyists and beginners, in models that include full-
size dreadnoughts, jumbos, orchestra and concert models; from
nylon-string classical guitars to full-scale acoustic bass guitars; and
from distinctive artist signature models to exotic limited editions.
Fender continues to be a leader in innovation, quality and service.
Thank you again for purchasing a new Fender acoustic guitar.

The Effects of Temperature, Humidity and
Moisture Content in the Wood
Wood is an organic, porous material that either absorbs moisture from the air, or evaporates it out into the air,
depending on the humidity and temperature of the environment surrounding it. Like a sponge, when wood absorbs
moisture, it swells up, and conversely, when it dries out, it shrinks.
Acoustic guitars, with their broad surfaces of relatively thin solid and laminated woods, are extremely sensitive to
environmental changes in temperature and humidity and as such, require ongoing attention to maintain them in their
optimum playing condition.
One of the greatest threats to the integrity of fine wood guitars is a lack of attention to maintaining the instruments in
the appropriate temperature and humidity range that will ensure the ideal moisture content in the wood.
The collective experience of all of the major acoustic guitar manufacturers today, has demonstrated that the ideal
temperature to preserve the integrity of solid wood acoustic guitars is “room temperature”, which is about 70 degrees
F (20.5 C). The ideal relative humidity is between 40% and 50%.
The moisture content of wood is determined by the relative humidity and temperature of the surrounding atmosphere.
Relative humidity is expressed as a percentage of air’s capability to hold moisture. For example, 30% relative humidity
means that the air is holding 30% of the moisture it could possibly hold at a given temperature.
