Solid Sitka Spruce Top & Mahogany Body
The Fender Newporter Player features a solid sitka spruce top which offers a versatile sound with a broad dynamic range and a crisp, clear, articulate sound. Sitka spruce is quite elastic in nature, which resonates well whilst remaining strong, and provides a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm midi-range, and bright sparkling highs. With sitka spruce’s versatile nature, players are able to achieve numerous styles of play and genres with ease. Its stunning solid top is coupled with mahogany back and sides that produce rich, resonant and warm tonal characteristics. Furthermore, its mahogany back and sides also deliver a meaty mid-range, producing punchy, woody tones with emphasized treble and bass, perfect for a wide range of playing styles and genres.
Mahogany Neck & Walnut Fingerboard
Constructed from mahogany, the Fender Newporter’s neck offers plenty of resonance and warmth, which is perfect for a wide range of playing styles. In addition, its lightweight neck has a slim taper and C-shaped-profile, preventing the likeliness of a cramping hand and offering easy playability. Furthermore, the neck is topped with a walnut fingerboard which adds balance and an earthy warmth to the guitar’s overall sound.
Newporter Body
With Fender’s Newporter body, and 650 mm scale length, this full sized electro acoustic delivers a rich and full sound yet still offers guitarists a comfortable playing experience. Players can appreciate the Newporter’s nipped in waist, making it comfortable on the knee for live sets and rehearsals, whilst its cutaway profile provides easy access to more challenging chords. In addition, the Fender Newporter Player features optimized bracing for added resonance, as well as to reinforce the guitar’s structure, offering durability and enhanced sound.
Fishman Preamp
The Fender Newporter Player is perfect for performing musicians due to it being equipped with a Fishman preamp system, offering basic sound tweaking for live and rehearsal environments. Simply plug in to a PA system or amplifier and listen to your Newporter’s natural voice projected beautifully without sacrificing any of the natural tones and characteristics that make the Newporter so vibrant and distinctive.
