Explore your individual creativity with the bold looks and inspiring sound of the Newporter Special. Featuring solid mahogany top, 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 Special'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 the 6-in-line headstock punch up the Newporter's quintessential Fender vibe. With superb playability and unique aesthetics, the Newporter Special is an instrument sure to spark creativity with every strum.

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 Newporter Special is built with solid mahogany top, back and sides to achieve a tone that's warm 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
