Designed with performance in mind, this acoustic-electric guitar is equipped with a premium Fender- and Fishman-designed preamp system. This system is voiced specifically for the Newporter's body shape, allowing you to accurately reproduce the guitar's natural sound when amplified.

The Newporter Special also boasts a tilt-back headstock, a feature that increases the break angle over the nut for enhanced sustain. The Strat-style 6-in-line design injects a dose of Fender's rock-and-roll attitude into this acoustic-electric instrument.

The guitar's build quality is uncompromising, with quartersawn scalloped X bracing for superior resonance, an upgraded bone nut and saddle, and sleek maple binding. The matching maple rosette and 6-in-line headstock enhance the Newporter's quintessential Fender vibe.

The Newporter Special Acoustic Electric Guitar comes with a deluxe gig bag, featuring comfortable padded backpack straps, durable outer material, multiple pockets, and a rubber boot for drop protection. This ensures your instrument stays safe and sound while traveling.
