Fender Kingman "C" USA - Fiesta Red
Fender · acoustic guitar
The Fender Kingman C USA is an acoustic dreadnought-style model from Fender's Kingman line, finished here in Fiesta Red rather than a traditional natural or sunburst acoustic finish, part of Robert Cray's collection alongside his more widely documented Stratocaster signature guitars. As a Kingman it carries Fender's own acoustic body shape and bracing rather than a Martin- or Gibson-style design, aimed at a modern player who wants an acoustic with a bit more low-end punch and a brighter top end than a traditional dreadnought. It is not a Robert Cray signature model in its own right; his connection to it comes from him owning and playing one alongside the electric Stratocasters he's actually known for.
