Summary
Overview
Rooted in over a decade of thoughtful design, The California Deluxe Series is built to go wherever the music leads you. The California Deluxe Villager™ E raises the standard with refined construction and sound that rises to any occasion.
Whether you’re writing at home or performing on stage, the California Deluxe Villager™ E is built to keep up. Its 12-string configuration delivers a naturally lush, shimmering tone that fills every depth and dimension – offering the kind of rich, chorus-like sound that turns a simple chord into something unforgettable. The solid Sitka Spruce top and laminate Mahogany back and sides – reinforced by scalloped X-bracing – produce a tone that’s full, balanced and unmistakably alive. Additional features include: sealed gear split-shaft tuning keys hold your tuning through the longest sets, a Micarta® nut and saddle maximize tonal transfer string to string, and phosphor bronze strings offer rich, full-bodied tone from the first note. Plug in with confidence with the onboard Fishman® CD-1 preamp system with onboard tuner for stage-ready amplification.
Versatile. Refined. Ready for anything. That’s the California Deluxe Series!

Highlights
SOLID SITKA SPRUCE TOP WITH LAMINATE MAHOGANY BACK AND SIDES
A solid Sitka Spruce top brings crisp, articulate projection to every note, while laminate Mahogany back and sides add a layer of warmth and harmonic depth that rounds out the overall sound beautifully. The result is a versatile voice that feels just as natural in a quiet room as it does on a live stage.
12”-RADIUS SATIN MAHOGANY C-SHAPED NECK WITH VINTAGE STYLE FRETS
The classic C-shaped neck with vintage-style frets provides a familiar feel that accommodates various playing styles. Combined with a smooth satin finish that allows for unrestricted hand movement and a 12”-radius that balances effortless chord work and bend-friendly lead playing, this neck delivers the perfect balance of comfort and performance.
SEALED GEAR, SPLIT-SHAFT TUNING KEYS
These tuning keys combine classic vintage styling with modern performance, offering smooth, precise adjustments that keep your guitar locked in tune. The split-shaft design makes string installation effortless while ensuring a secure, reliable hold – so you spend less time changing and more time playing.
FISHMAN® CD-1 ELECTRONICS
The onboard Fishman® CD-1 system is designed to get out of the way and let the guitar speak. Simple, intuitive controls for volume, bass, mid and treble put your tone exactly where you want it, while the integrated on-board tuner keeps you stage-ready at a moment’s notice – all in a sleek, low-profile package that preserves the guitar’s natural acoustic character.
