Classic 1960s Acoustic from Fender

Harkening back to their colorful acoustics of the 1960s, Fender's Newporter Player acoustic-electric guitar delivers rich, balanced tone, easy playability, and exquisite visuals that include a painted gloss finish, a matching 6-in-line headstock, and a 3-ply gold pickguard. The Newporter Player features mahogany back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top. Fender's proprietary top bracing keeps this stellar classic light and the resonance heavy. A Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle enhance the sustain, and a Fishman preamp system faithfully delivers a warm, natural amplified sound. The slim "C"-profile mahogany neck and walnut fingerboard are instantly comfortable and playable — a favorite neck profile here at Sweetwater.

Made to play

The Newporter Player delivers killer acoustic tone without breaking the bank. The pairing of the solid spruce top and laminate mahogany back and sides is legendary among acoustic players for its balanced tone across the high, mid, and low ranges and outstanding projection when unplugged. This guitar is ideal for the coffee shop and the next open mic. The cutaway body style makes for easy playability up and down the neck.

Built-in preamp system delivers natural tone onstage

The Fishman preamp system onboard the Newport Player delivers gorgeous amplified tone and gives you full control over your volume and tone. Plugged in onstage or in the studio, the Newporter Player delivers the guitar's expressive natural voice through an amp, PA system, or into the console.

Fender Newporter Player Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:

  • Fender's classic California Series Newporter body shape
  • Solid Sitka spruce top and laminate mahogany back and sides
  • Fishman preamp system delivers outstanding amplified tone
  • 2-ring rosette and a 3-ply gold pickguard add more vintage vibe
  • Slim "C"-profile mahogany neck with satin finish
  • Walnut fingerboard with classic dot inlays looks great and is instantly playable
  • Modern Viking laurel bridge adds vintage look and great tonal support
  • Sealed nickel tuning machines keep you in tune and have a classic look
