ACOUSTIC: CALIFORNIA SERIES

The California series was introduced circa 1982. Models were produced in Japan from 1982 to 1985 and then Korea from 1985 until 1994. The California Series was reintroduced in 2005, and instruments are produced in China. The first three models are the Kingman, Malibu, and Sonoran. For the first versions of the Kingman and Malibu models, refer to Acoustic: Dreadnought 1963-1970 Mfg. Many California Series models were updated in 2012 with three-ply pickguards, a bone nut and saddle, and a vintage-style Fender "Viking" bridge along with new production model codes.
