A versatile and unique design

The Fender Newporter Player Electro Acoustic boasts a design inspired by the iconic electric guitars from Fender. With its California Player series, Fender invites musicians to embrace their individual creativity and break free from convention.

Additionally, its comfortable feel ensures that musicians can play for hours on end, fuelling their inspiration.

Innovative neck design

The Newporter Player sports a nato neck with an easy-to-play slim-taper "C"-shaped profile. This neck design, taken from Fender's electric guitar DNA, guarantees a comfortable playing experience. With a scale length measuring 25.5", the Newporter Player provides superb versatility for different playing styles and techniques. The tilt-back 6-in-line headstock not only enhances the guitar's distinctive appearance but also contributes to its overall resonance and sustain.

Enhanced tuning precision

This feature is a testament to Fender's commitment to providing musicians with the best playing experience possible. These tuning machines allow for hassle-free adjustments and help maintain stable intonation, ensuring reliable performance during live shows or recording sessions.

Superior sound reproduction

Featuring the Fishman Flex preamp system, the Newporter Player delivers faithful reproduction of its natural acoustic sound when connected to an amplifier or recording device. The onboard Fishman electronics offer intuitive volume and tone controls, allowing musicians to easily shape their amplified tone to suit their preferences. Additionally, the built-in phase control helps combat feedback, ensuring clean and clear sound in any performance setting.

Impeccable craftsmanship

The Newporter Player Electro Acoustic comes with a walnut fingerboard and bridge, adding to its overall aesthetic appeal. Not only do these components look pleasingly dark and sophisticated, but they also contribute to the guitar's vibrant tonal character. Walnut is a premium hardwood that is specifically chosen for its smooth feel and durability, ensuring optimal playability and excellent sound quality.
