Iconic 12-string from Fender

A folk icon since it was first introduced in 1965, the Fender Villager 12-string acoustic-electric guitar is an outstanding instrument at an amazing price point that continues to inspire players of various styles over 50 years later. It features a solid spruce top and laminate mahogany back and sides, for full acoustic projection and rich, full-bodied tone. The mahogany slim "C"-shaped neck with walnut fingerboard is beautifully playable and responsive and is topped by a classic "hockey-stick" headstock. The cutaway dreadnought body gives you full access to this great neck — a feature that guitarists here at Sweetwater really appreciate.

Gig-ready electronics let you plug it in onstage

The Fender Villager 12-string comes loaded with Fishman's Presys pickup system. The powerful Presys system features treble, mid, bass, volume, and phase controls that let you dial in that perfect sound. Another bonus is the built-in tuner that lets you tune without complicated and confusing handheld tuners. With the Fishman Presys pickup system, you get stellar amplified acoustic tone that translates all the sparkle, jangle, and shine of a 12-string!

Vintage details

The Fender Villager 12-string acoustic-electric guitar has many great appointments, including optimized X-bracing that adds further tonal support to the solid spruce top. There's a classic gold pickguard, a bone nut, and a vintage-inspired Viking walnut bridge with a compensated NuBone saddle that not only looks great but also adds even further tone enhancement to this wonderful instrument.
