Fender Newporter Special Acoustic Electric Guitar Natural Mahogany

Fender Newporter Special Acoustic Electric Guitar Natural Mahogany – California Special models represent the evolution and refinement of modern Fender acoustics, mixing iconic Fender electric playability with all-solid wood construction and best-in-class electronics. A crossroads of past, present, and future, these instruments truly resonate differently.

Crafted with an X-braced solid okoume top and solid okoume back and sides, the approachable mid-size auditorium body of the Newporter Special produces a balanced voice that’s impressively resonant, articulate and powerful, while offering superior comfort for hours of creativity. The nato neck is designed with an easy-to-play slim “C”-shaped profile, a 25.5″ scale length, and a tilt-back 6-in-line headstock for a distinctive look born from Fender’s electric guitar DNA. Other notable details include vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning, a maple rosette and body binding for an upscale look, and a bone nut and saddle for rich harmonic character. Designed for the performer, the Fishman® Flex Body preamp system blends an undersaddle piezo and internal body transducer to allow faithful and reliable reproduction of the guitar’s natural sound when plugged into an amplifier, PA system or recording device. Bold, eye-catching and unique, California Series instruments make no compromises balancing effortless playability, superior sound, and standout style for those who aspire to play something different.

Legendary neck with incredible feel

The Fender neck has become legendary among guitarists of nearly all genres. The Newporter Special carries the torch for that legendary feel with an incredibly comfortable slim-taper “C”-shaped profile. This cut is ultra-friendly on the fret hand, letting you slide up and down the neck for leads as well as chords in all positions. This incredible neck is complemented visually with the classic matching 6-in-line headstock.

Fine appointments support tone

The Newporter Special has been decked out with fine appointments that add to its tone and visual appeal. To begin, maple binding adds a beautiful complement to the woods and body color on this awesome instrument. In addition, a genuine pau ferro modern Viking bridge and genuine bone nut enhance the resonance of this fine acoustic as well.

Sweet amplified tone

The Fender- and Fishman-designed pickup/preamp system in the Newporter Special comes complete with an easy-to-read, digital tuner that makes on-stage tuning super easy. This system also includes frequency (bass, middle, and treble) and phase controls that have been voiced specifically for the Special.
