Newporter Player
(Sunburst)
Fender California SeriesInfluenced by the iconic designs of Fender electric guitars, the California Player acoustics showcase the west coast spirit of adventure and freedom, inviting musicians to explore their individual creativity and disrupt the status quo.
Made with an X-braced solid spruce top and sapele back and sides, the approachable mid-size auditorium body of the Newporter Player produces a versatile voice that's both articulate and powerful, while offering a comfortable feel for hours of inspiration. The nato neck is designed with an easy-to-play slim-taper "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 key features include vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning, a GraphTech NuBone nut and saddle for detailed harmonic character. With elegantly integrated controls for a sleek, modern look, the onboard Fishman Flex preamp system allows faithful reproduction of the guitar's natural sound when plugged into an amplifier 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 strive to play something unique.

A Super Smooth Playing Experience!
C-shape neck profileFender chose Solid Sitka Spruce woods for the Newporter Player’s top due to its highly responsive and dynamic nature. The Newporter Player’s unique body shape offers unhindered access to the upper registers due to the single cutaway too, alongside the optimised bracing which helps to lessen the overall mass, all whilst enhancing resonance.
Attached to this stunning body, you’ll find a nato neck with a slim C-shape neck profile featuring a smooth satin finish adjoined to a walnut fingerboard, delivering an easy-to-play and super smooth playing experience. Fender added some luxurious aged white binding which helps in the secure build quality, all whilst adding a touch of class and strong visual appeal to this gorgeous guitar!
Why Choose Fender's Newporter Player?
UNIQUE FENDER
BODY SHAPEThis 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.
SOLID
SPRUCE TOPThe soundboard provides the most important tonal element of an acoustic guitar. Spruce is the standard choice, as few woods can beat its strength, sound, and dynamic range. Solid spruce tops are known for opening up and sounding better over time.
FISHMAN
PREAMP SYSTEMThe onboard Fishman Flex electronics provide intuitive volume and tone controls for dialing in natural amplified tone and a phase control for combatting feedback.
TILT-BACK 6-IN-LINE
HEADSTOCKThe Strat-style 6-in-line headstock imparts Fender’s rock-and-roll attitude into this acoustic-electric instrument.
SLIM
“C“-SHAPED NECKThe slim “C”-shaped neck profile is inspired by Fender electric guitars, providing superior hand comfort thanks to its consistently shallow depth and rounded fingerboard edges.
WALNUT FINGERBOARD
AND BRIDGEWith its pleasingly dark look, smooth feel and vibrant tone, walnut is an excellent tonewood for crafting quality acoustic instrument bridges and fingerboards.
