Fender California Traditional Series Newporter Classic

Explore your creativity with the bold look and inspiring sound of the Newporter Classic. With its solid spruce table, solid mahogany back and splices, the Newporter's medium size delivers a balanced sound that is as powerful as it is precise. This guitar designed for live playing is also equipped with a preamp system designed by Fender and Fishman® and set especially for the body shape of the Newporter. It reproduces the natural timbre of the instrument when connected to an amplifier. The mahogany handle features a comfortable Slim-Taper "C" profile inspired by Fender's historic electric models.

You will find the uncompromising character of the Newporter Classic right down to its manufacture, including its quartersawn dam scalloped in X that offers superior resonance, its reworked bone head and easel sillets and its sleeve head tilted backwards to promote sustain. The elegant maple net on the table, the coordinated maple rosette and the handle head equipped with six in-line mechanics reinforce on this Newporter the typical spirit of Fender. The Newporter Classic is an instrument with an exceptional touch that presents a unique aesthetic, perfect ingredients to feed your creativity with every stroke of the pick.
