A Unique Take on an Acoustic-Electric Guitar
The Fender California Newporter Player acoustic-electric is unconventional to its core. It defies acoustic instrument tradition with its distinctive looks, unique size and unmistakable Fender sound. What sets the Fender California Newporter Player apart is its unique body shape, which is a Fender exclusive and was first introduced in 1965. It offers a vintage-inspired look with modern tonal characteristics. Other unique features include optimized bracing for reduced mass and superior resonance.
Premium Tonewoods
The Fender California Newporter Player acoustic-electric features a lightweight slim taper C-shaped mahogany neck that��s comfortable and easy to play. The laurel fingerboard adds to the vibrant tone. This acoustic-electric guitar also features a solid spruce top, which is the ultimate tonewood choice when it comes to its strength, sound, and dynamic range. Solid spruce tops are also known for opening up and sounding better over time. The slim taper C-shaped mahogany neck is also supremely comfortable to play, and will feel familiar to electric players who are used to a slimmer neck. The walnut fingerboard also provides a pleasingly dark look, smooth feel and vibrant tone.

The Fender California Newporter Player acoustic-electric is equipped with a Fishman pickup/preamp system that offers a variety of onboard controls to amplify your sound while still maintaining the acoustic��s pure, rich and resonant tone. A convenient built-in tuner is also included.
