A Message from the Chairman

At Fender, we know the importance of sound reinforcement. From the simple box-top powered mixer to today’s touring concert systems, the need to communicate to make the connection between the performer and the audience is foremost in our mind.

Perhaps no other piece of gear can make or break your message or your band’s sound than your sound reinforcement gear. Your sound system is far more than just a combination of dials, wires and speakers. It is an integral part of the audio chain and should be treated with special care and attention to detail.

Fender knows what building quality musical instruments and sound reinforcement equipment is all about. In fact, many of the world’s best sounding electric musical instruments and sound reinforcement equipment proudly wear the Fender name.

Whether you need a small powered mixer for your Saturday afternoon “jam” or a professional full-size concert system, Fender has the sound reinforcement gear to meet your needs. Likewise, your decision to purchase quality Fender Professional Audio Equipment is one you will appreciate with each performance for years to come.

Wishing you years of enjoyment and a heartfelt thank you,

Bill Schultz

LTB-12 specifications

The Fender LTB-12 is a remarkable acoustic guitar that captures the essence of Fender’s commitment to quality craftsmanship and innovative design. This model is well-suited for both beginner and intermediate players, as it combines playability, tonal excellence, and aesthetic appeal.

One of the standout features of the LTB-12 is its body shape. Designed with a concert body profile, this guitar provides a more focused and intimate sound while remaining comfortable to hold. This shape allows for easier access to the higher frets, making it ideal for players who enjoy exploring intricate melodies and fingerstyle playing.

The LTB-12 is constructed with a solid Sitka spruce top, which contributes to its bright and resonant tone. Spruce is known for its ability to produce a wide dynamic range and remarkable clarity, making it an excellent choice for both strumming and fingerpicking. The back and sides are crafted from mahogany, which adds warmth and depth to the overall sound, creating a balanced tonal experience that resonates well with both new and seasoned players.

Another key feature is the neck construction. The LTB-12 sports a comfortable mahogany neck that is designed for smooth playability. The fingerboard is made from rosewood, offering a luxurious feel and enhancing the guitar's tonal qualities. Additionally, the instrument features a 20-fret design, allowing players ample room to explore the fretboard.

The LTB-12 integrates modern technologies with traditional craftsmanship. It comes equipped with Fishman electronics, making it easy for players to amplify their sound without losing the rich acoustic character of the guitar. This is particularly beneficial for those who wish to perform live or record, providing flexibility in various musical settings.

Aesthetically, the Fender LTB-12 shines with its eye-catching gloss finish and elegant detailing. The rosette and binding showcase Fender's attention to visual appeal, making it an instrument that not only sounds great but looks stunning as well.

Overall, the Fender LTB-12 stands out for its combination of quality materials, innovative design, and an emphasis on playability.
