The Newporter Player's accessible, mid-sized auditorium body, with its X-braced solid spruce top and sapele back and sides, produces a clear, powerful, versatile sound that feels comfortable for hours of inspiration. The Nato neck is designed with an easy-to-play slim "C"-shaped profile, 25.5-inch scale length and tilt-back 6-in-line headstock for a distinctive look drawn from the DNA of Fender's E-guitars. Other notable details include vintage-style tuners for smooth, accurate tuning and a GraphTech® NuBone® nut and saddle for detailed harmonic characteristics. The integrated Fishman® Flex preamp system, with elegantly integrated controls for a sleek, modern look, faithfully reproduces the guitar's natural tone when connected to an amplifier or recording device.
Eye-catching and unique, California Series instruments offer an uncompromising balance of effortless playability, superb tone and outstanding style for those who enjoy playing something different.
