The Perfect First Guitar or Traveling Companion
There’s something special about the Fender Sonoran Mini. It comes equipped with a scaled-down, mahogany and spruce body that’s capable of producing a meaty, present tone to rival its full-sized brethren. A nato neck and 24.1-inch scale length combine for silky-smooth playability that’s easy on the fingers. The Sonoran Mini’s accessible price and easy playability may make it the perfect starter guitar, yet seasoned guitarists will find plenty to love, too! The small size is ideal for traveling guitarists, fireside freestyling, and campsite jam sessions. Whether it’s your first or your fifth acoustic guitar, the Fender Sonoran Mini will defy all expectations placed upon small acoustics — and it’s available now at Sweetwater.

Spruce and mahogany body sets the stage
Pairing a spruce top with mahogany back and sides is a classic tonewood combination for good reason. The snappy projection of spruce has proven itself as the perfect foil for the lush warmth of mahogany. When strummed, the Fender Sonoran Mini produces a refined, if not understated, tone with tight bass, midrange presence, and well-behaved highs. Add in the walnut fingerboard and bridge’s extra resonance and bright snap, and the Sonoran Mini becomes a well-balanced music-making machine. Indeed, the Fender Sonoran Mini provides a solid foundation upon which you can build show-stopping arrangements in the studio or ably accompany a singer onstage.
Scaled-down for comfortable playability
The Fender Sonoran Mini is everything Sweetwater looks for in a well-priced acoustic guitar. The small body size makes it an excellent couch guitar, but the real star is the short scale length. Measuring 24.1 inches — a whopping 1.4 inches shorter than most Fenders — the scale length gives the strings a softened feel. As a result, you’ll play for hours in total comfort!
Descended from sunny southern California
Throughout the ’60s, brightly colored acoustic guitars bearing the Fender name and Stratocaster headstock dotted the West Coast and beyond. The Fender acoustics ushered in a new movement away from the major acoustic manufacturers that offered antiquated instruments. Fender’s California series of acoustic guitars pays homage to the company’s early acoustic roots with updated takes on the classic designs. Each California Series guitar comes with a radiant attitude all its own.
