Description

Explore your individual creativity with the bold looks and inspiring sound of the Newporter Player. Featuring a painted solid spruce top, painted mahogany back and sides, and matching painted 6-in-line headstock, the mid-sized Newporter body shape provides a balanced voice that’s both articulate and powerful. The mahogany neck features a comfortable, slim-taper "C"-shaped profile, inspired by Fender’s electric legacy. The same no-compromise attitude that gives the Newporter Player its uniquely killer vibe extends to every aspect of its construction. It features optimized bracing for superior resonance, a GraphTech NuBone nut and saddle, and a Fishman preamp system that allows you to reproduce the guitar’s natural sound when plugged into an amplifier. With superb playability and unique aesthetics, the Newporter Player is an instrument that dares to defy acoustic instrument tradition.

  • Unbeatable in this Price Range
I've played Taylor's for 30 years as my primary acoustic guitars. And I own 5 different models 615GA down. I also own Martin, Gibson and Epiphone acoustics as well as Yamaha and Blue Ridge. 3 Fender American Strats, 2 Fender American Tele's, a Gibson Les Paul, a PRS 10 Top, Gibson SG, so my point in listing some of my guitars is this, I own a lot. I play a lot. The Fender Newporter is not only gorgeous to look at, it sounds incredible. Whether played through an amp or just sitting and strumming in your chair. The neck is fast and smooth and plays really well. There is no fret buzz at all. It sounds amazing. The setup was perfect right out of the box. All it needed was tuning up about half a step. Comparing it with some of the guitars I mentioned it really holds its own quite well. And unless you are comparing it with a $2000.00 300 series Taylor or above, this guitar holds it's own with the Taylor GS, the 100 or 200 series guitar. And is actually easier to play and sounds better. And compared to them price wise, this is by far the best deal. The size of the guitar is also a winner, as it is about the size of the Taylor 314 Grand Concert. Which is smaller in size than the GA, or grand Auditorium. Plugged into an amp the guitar really shines. The onboard electronics allow you to shape the sound to adjust the highs lows and mids. Plus the onboard tuner is very accurate. I would recommend this guitar to anyone. A beginner or pro. If there was one thing to say about this guitar I didn't like it would be the inline tuners typically used on older or cheaper model guitars. But they work well and keep the guitar in tune. Unfortunately the Left Handed only come in Black or Metallic Red for us left handers, that I've found. But for $429.00 they are worth every penny. Spend another 100 bucks and get a good case. Well done Fender. Although these are part of the California Series of guitars, they are made in Indonesia. But don't let that scare you off. Great guitar. And I will add a thank you to Amazon for carrying these left handed as well. Great job in getting it here. Packed and overpacked. ... show more

  • This is a beautiful and comfortable guitar.
Color: Aged Cognac Burst Style: With Gig Bag
I'm a new guitarist. I've been playing for about 6 months now and have found a new love. I started playing on an old pawnshop Yamaha dreadnaught that I've had for years. It's an OK beginner guitar, and has been great to start. I wanted to get a little better guitar, so I went and bought a Fender FC135. I quickly learned something from the FC135....frustration. I just could not get good sound from the guitar. After learning a little, I discovered that the action is too high on that guitar, which was really causing me problems. So I looked for another guitar and found the Fender Acoustasonic Stratocaster. I LOVE that guitar, but couldn't get that true acoustic sound from it. That led me to my next guitar purchase, the Fender Newporter Classic. This guitar is so comfortable to play! The action is perfect. It is one of those instruments that you bring it in close and it just fits nice! My playing improved drastically once I started playing my Newporter Classic. I'm not saying that this guitar will make you a great player, I'm saying that this guitar is truly a well made and comfortable guitar. When you have a great instrument that is a pleasure to play, you will play more, feel more success, and will naturally practice more. One complaint I have about my Stratocaster is that it doesn't have a tuner built into it. The Newporter has a very nice tuner that is built flush into the side of the guitar. If you're not looking for the tuner, you probably won't see it. My only dislike for this guitar is the amp jack. The jack is built into the same part as the sling nut. It hasn't been a problem yet, but I worry about my sling hitting my wireless transmitter. Again, it hasn't happened to me, but it is a concern I have. I just think it would have been nice to have the jack in the usual location below the sling nut instead of directly behind it. Overall, I LOVE this guitar. It really is a pleasure to play. I will grab it and sit down to practice with Fender Play for 15 - 20 minutes, and end up playing for a couple of hours. I would HIGHLY recommend this guitar. This guitar and my Stratocaster are my favorites. ... show more

  • Sure is pretty! Great all around - just quiet
Color: Sunburst Style: Guitar Only
The thin body is rather quiet (hence the 4 stars). I’m used to acoustic/electric being quieter, obviously, but this is a bit on the low side. It… welll…. Dang…. It works because I can play by my pool and not attract the neighbors. The sound is very brilliant, just quiet. The built in tuner is awesome. Great for my acoustic reggae sessions at our dock. ... show more

  • Plays great right out of the box!
Color: Sunburst Style: Guitar Only
I wanted a "couch guitar." Something I could pick and strum while relaxing on the couch and this guitar fits the bill. Perfect shape and size. Took it out of the box and tuned it up. Sounds great! No need to "set up." Nothing compromised. Plenty of depth of sound.
