Rooted in over a decade of thoughtful design, The California Deluxe Series is built to go wherever the music leads you. California Deluxe Newporter™ CE raises the standard with refined construction and sound that rises to any occasion.

Whether you’re writing at home or performing on stage, the California Deluxe Newporter™ CE is built to keep up. Its refined slope shoulder silhouette is instantly recognizable, and the cutaway body does more than turn heads – it opens up unrestricted access to the upper register, so your creativity never has to stop where the body begins. The solid Sitka Spruce top and laminate Mahogany back and sides – reinforced by scalloped X-bracing – produce a tone that’s full, balanced and unmistakably alive. Additional features include: sealed gear split-shaft tuning keys hold your tuning through the longest sets, a Micarta® nut and saddle maximize tonal transfer string to string, and phosphor bronze strings offer rich, full-bodied tone from the first note. Plug in with confidence with the onboard Fishman® CD-1 preamp system with onboard tuner for stage-ready amplification.

Versatile. Refined. Ready for anything. That’s the California Deluxe Series!
