Explore your individual creativity with the bold looks and inspiring sound of the Newporter Classic. Featuring a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, the mid-sized Newporter body shape provides a balanced voice that's both articulate and powerful. Designed for performing, it also includes a premium Fender- and Fishman®-designed preamp system voiced specifically for the Newporter's body shape, allowing you to reproduce the guitar's natural sound when plugged into an amplifier. The mahogany neck features a comfortable, slim-taper "C"-shaped profile, inspired by Fender's electric legacy.

The Newporter Classic's no-compromise attitude extends to its build quality, featuring quartersawn scalloped X bracing for superior resonance, an upgraded bone nut and saddle, and a tilt-back headstock for enhanced sustain. Sleek maple binding, matching maple rosette, and a 6-in-line headstock punch up the Newporter's quintessential Fender vibe.

Highlights

UNIQUE FENDER BODY SHAPE

This guitar's unique body shape is a Fender exclusive which was first introduced in 1965 and offers a vintage-inspired look with modern tonal characteristics.

TILT-BACK 6-IN-LINE HEADSTOCK

A tilt-back headstock increases the break angle over the nut, allowing for enhanced sustain. The Strat-style 6-in-line design imparts Fender’s rock-and-roll attitude into this acoustic-electric instrument.

SLIM-TAPER “C”-SHAPED MAHOGANY NECK

The supremely comfortable slim-taper "C"-shaped mahogany neck will feel familiar to electric players and is also suited to acoustic players looking for a slimmer neck.

ALL-SOLID CONSTRUCTION

Prized for increased resonance and sustain, the California Classic acoustics are built with a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides to achieve a tone that's powerful and balanced.

FENDER AND FISHMAN-DESIGNED PREAMP SYSTEM

Complete with tuner, frequency (bass, middle and treble) and phase controls, this system is specially voiced for each body shape in the California Series.

DELUXE GIG BAG

With comfortable padded backpack straps, durable outer material, multiple pockets and a rubber boot for drop protection, the included deluxe gig bag provides top-notch protection while traveling.
