Product Description

Forming part of the diverse California Series Acoustic range, the Newporter Player is an affordable, stylish offering straight out of Orange County, CA.

Unique Design

The medium-sized body leads to a powerful, detailed sound that's supremely well-balanced. It features a gloss metallic solid spruce top, paired with a mahogany back and sides. A lightweight mahogany neck - with a slim-taper C-shaped profile - ensures that it sits comfortably in your hand and is incredibly easy to play. This is augmented with a walnut fingerboard, contributing further to the guitars interesting tone. You'll be able to move smoothly and accurately along it. 

A Newporter Player is the ideal accompaniment to any singer - especially in an intimate live setting. The guitar is literally built from the ground up for performing. 

Innovative Additions 

Excellent attention to detail extends to every other component as well. Bracing has been enhanced, benefitting resonance, while leading to a smaller mass. An improved Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle compliments this, with a noticeable amount of sustain now present. 

Finally, a Fishman preamp system ensures you can plug in and play - maintaining a sound that stays true to the guitars natural voice.

Miss Alicia Gomez21st Feb 2022

The acoustic guitar is really nice sound body shape of the fretboard and moving around the fretboard I gave it a 4 out of 5 because I found the tensions on the strings way too tight to what I’m use too

The fender player newporter (mine is ice blue) is beautiful aesthetically and has a beautiful sound to match. It has a built in tuner, but stays in tune really well.
