Elevate Your Performance with the Fender Newporter Player Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The Newporter Player acoustic-electric guitar from Fender is a bold statement of style and sound, designed for musicians seeking big volume and exceptional playability. Crafted with a solid spruce top and sapele back and sides, this guitar delivers a warm, sustained tone that spans across the high, mid, and low ranges with remarkable clarity. Its nato neck, featuring a walnut fingerboard, offers unparalleled playability and response, accommodating various playing styles from delicate fingerpicking to robust strumming. When it's time to plug in, the Fishman-designed pickup/preamp system ensures your amplified acoustic tone is sweet and authentic.

Inspired by the iconic designs of Fender electric guitars, the California Player series embodies the spirit of adventure and creativity, inviting musicians to explore their individuality and break free from convention.

Featuring an X-braced solid spruce top and sapele back and sides, the Newporter Player boasts a mid-size auditorium body that produces a versatile voice, combining articulation and power with a comfortable playing feel for extended sessions. The nato neck is designed with an easy-to-play slim-taper "C"-shaped profile, a 25.5" scale length, and a tilt-back 6-in-line headstock for a distinctive Fender aesthetic. Vintage-style tuning machines ensure smooth and accurate tuning, while a GraphTech® NuBone® nut and saddle enhance harmonic richness. With seamlessly integrated controls for a modern look, the onboard Fishman® Flex preamp system faithfully reproduces the guitar's natural sound when connected to an amplifier or recording device.

Bold, eye-catching, and unique, California Series instruments offer effortless playability, superior sound, and standout style for musicians who dare to be different.

Legendary Neck with Unmatched Comfort The slim-taper, "C"-shaped profile of the Fender neck is celebrated among guitarists for its exceptional comfort. The Newporter Player continues this tradition with an incredibly comfortable neck, allowing effortless movement up and down the fretboard for both lead and rhythm playing. The classic 6-in-line headstock adds to the guitar's visual appeal.

Fine Appointments for Enhanced Tone Fine appointments adorn the Newporter Player, enhancing its tone and aesthetics. Aged white binding provides a striking contrast to the body color, while scalloped X-bracing ensures optimal resonance and durability. The genuine modern Viking bridge further enhances the guitar's resonance and sustain.

Stellar Amplified Tone Equipped with a Fishman-designed pickup/preamp system, the Newporter Player offers versatile tone shaping with Volume, Push Tone, and standard Tone controls, allowing you to tailor your amplified sound to suit any performance setting.
