California Player acoustics, influenced by the legendary Fender electric guitars, capture the essence of the west coast’s adventurous and free spirit. These instruments encourage musicians to embrace their unique creativity and challenge conventional boundaries.
Crafted with an X-braced solid spruce top and sapele back and sides, the approachable mid-size auditorium body of the Newporter™ Player produces a versatile voice that's both articulate and powerful, while offering a comfortable feel for hours of inspiration. The nato neck is designed with an easy-to-play slim-taper "C"-shaped profile, a 25.5" scale length, and a tilt-back 6-in-line headstock for a distinctive look born from Fender's electric guitar DNA. Other notable details include vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning, a GraphTech® NuBone® nut and saddle for detailed harmonic character. With elegantly integrated controls for a sleek, modern look, the onboard Fishman® Flex preamp system allows faithful reproduction of the guitar's natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or recording device.
The California Series instruments are striking, distinctive, and uncompromising, delivering a perfect mix of easy playability, excellent sound, and remarkable style for musicians who want to play something unique.
