The Fender Newporter Player Ice Blue Satin convinces with its charming construction and its balanced and powerful sound. Due to its medium-sized Newporter size with cutaway , the acoustic guitar is suitable for fine pickings as well as for expressive strumming and turns out to be a true all-rounder. A Fishman pickup system with an integrated tuner completes the instrument's functionality and enables a professional performance on stage. The highlight of the Newporter Player is undoubtedly its extraordinary design, which is accentuated by the eye-catching Ice Blue Satin finish.
Construction and woodsTo ensure that all frequencies are unfolded in a clear and defined manner, the construction consists of a solid Sitka spruce top on a laminated mahogany body . Thanks to a flat scalloped X-bracing , the tone unfolds quickly and persistently, so that even light touches produce an amazing sound result. At the same time, the flat mahogany neck with a slim 'C' profile guarantees extremely accommodating playing comfort. A cutaway also allows optimal access to the highest of the 20 frets.
Hardware and DesignAnother quality feature is the saddle and the 43 mm wide nut made of GraphTech Nubone , which provide a clean intonation on the whole 650 mm scale . Furthermore, the nickel tuners are very easy to use and allow precise tuning of the 6 steel strings . The headstock of the Newporter Player comes in a beautiful 70's E-guitar look and gives the guitar a very individual appearance. To emphasize the finish and give the instrument a noble touch, the top is adorned with a 3-ply gold pickguard.
ElectronicsThe active Fishman pickup system is equipped with a side preamp . This allows a precise adjustment of the bass and treble frequencies and is conveniently equipped with a tuner. A large LED display shows the respective pitch.
