Key Features
The Fender Newporter Special Electro Acoustic is a sleek and striking instrument that lends itself to fierce and fearless fretting techniques. With its Newporter body and 650mm scale length, this elegant instrument is built for seamless, sumptuous playability, allowing you to reach the top frets with ease and nail those challenging chords. Slide at speed across the pau ferro fretboard whilst the mahogany neck sits effortlessly in your hand - its slim taper 'C' profile and satin finish make for a dreamy playing experience.
Fender's sublime craftsmanship does not go amiss on this acoustic beauty. Showcasing a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, the Newporter Special delivers a beautifully rich tone, full of warmth, articulation, and resonance. And it's well-balanced too, meaning you'll have immense versatility to suit most playing styles. Better still, the Fender/Fishman preamp has been voiced specifically for this guitar, allowing for clear, natural amplification as well as basic sound shaping. A deluxe gig bag is included too, ensuring your guitar stays protected whilst travelling from gig to gig or to and from the studio.

Sublime craftsmanship is demonstrated in every detail of the spruce and mahogany build, giving you an instrument that is immaculate in both looks and sound. The solid Sitka spruce top delivers glistening articulation and tremendous volume for the type of performance that sends each note soaring to the back of the room, carried with crisp clarity. Plugged or unplugged, you'll be immersed in a magical playing experience, and your audience will be completely in awe. And if spruce's sparkling tonal qualities aren't enough, solid mahogany back and sides will add an extra sonic dimension. Mahogany has the ability to inject your sound with beautiful richness and resonance, making it fuller, warmer, and even more dynamic.
Fender's Newporter body is not just a powerhouse for truly dazzling, rich sound, but it also makes for a fantastic playing experience. Its nipped-in waist accommodates comfortable on-the-knee playing, so you can deliver a seamless live set. And you'll be able to reach the top frets without hindrance thanks to the sleek cutaway. What's more, the Newporter body is reinforced with optimised bracing, giving the spruce top the stability it needs whilst enhancing your tone with more resonance and sustain.
Easy playability doesn't stop at the body; it is offered by the luscious mahogany neck and pau ferro fretboard too. Shaped in a slim taper 'C' profile, the neck will sit comfortably in your hand, its satin finish allowing for effortless playing whilst the smooth surface of pau ferro lies under your fingertips.
The Newporter Special is stage ready. And it's perfect for the studio too. Equipped with a Fender/Fishman pickup and preamp, this guitar allows you to plug directly into an amp or mixing desk without sacrificing any of the delicious acoustic properties of spruce and mahogany. But what makes the guitar stand out from others out there is the unique design of the electronic system. It has been voiced specifically for the Newporter Special, granting you a precise and natural response to the acoustic tone, projecting it beautifully with exceptional clarity. And you'll be able to sculpt your tone via the 2-band EQ and tune up effortlessly with the built-in tuner. You'll sound pitch perfect every time.
