Designed for performing, the fully-painted gloss metallic solid
spruce top, mahogany back and sides, matching painted 6-in-line
headstock and crème binding give this guitar a shot of electrifying
style. Unconventional to the core, the Newporter Player is definitely
something different and exciting.
The same no-compromise attitude
that gives the Newporter Player its uniquely killer vibe extends to
every aspect of its construction. It features optimized bracing for
reduced mass and superior resonance, a Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle
for greater sustain and a Fishman preamp system that makes it easy to
plug in without sacrificing the guitar’s natural sound.
Its
lightweight mahogany neck features a comfortable, easy-to-play,
slim-taper “C”-shaped profile suitable for any playing style, and its
laurel fingerboard and bridge further augment this instrument’s vibrant
tone.
With its superb playability, distinctive looks and
unmistakable Fender vibe, the Newporter Player is an instrument that
proudly defies acoustic instrument tradition.
