For the Electric Player Who Wants to Go Acoustic Without Relearning Everything
The Newporter Player is Fender's answer to a real question: what does an acoustic guitar feel like when it is built around how electric players actually play? The 25.5 inch scale length is the same as a Stratocaster. The slim C neck profile feels like what you already know. The cutaway gets you up the neck without fighting the body. If you have been avoiding acoustic because it feels foreign, this one will not.
The solid spruce top gives you real projection and dynamic response. Strum hard and it opens up. Fingerpick softly and it stays articulate. The sapele back and sides add warmth without muddying the low end. This is a balanced, versatile acoustic voice that works for singer songwriters, coffeehouse gigs, and home recording equally well.
Plug In and It Still Sounds Like You
The Fishman Flex preamp is straightforward and honest. It captures what the guitar actually sounds like and puts it through the PA without coloring it too much. Volume and tone controls are simple and accessible. No menu diving, no complicated EQ. Just plug in and play.

A Solid Top at This Price Is Rare
Most acoustics at this price point use a laminate top. The Newporter Player uses solid spruce, which means better resonance, more dynamic range, and a guitar that actually improves as it opens up over time. That matters whether you are recording at home or playing out. Available at The Pied Piper Music Store, serving musicians in New Albany, Columbus, Westerville, Dublin, Gahanna, Powell, Pickerington, Reynoldsburg, Pataskala, Johnstown, and the greater central Ohio area.
