Vintage Fender Newporter 1980's - Mahogany - Tone Cannon!
Does this guitar have lots of chips and scratches? Yes.
Does it have a pretty good dent in the back binding? Yup.
Is it from supposedly a "bad era" of Fender Acoustic guitars? Sure.
Has it spent nights in dark smokey bars and handled around like a cheap lady of the night? Probably.
Does it sound freaking awesome? Absolutely.
A true cannon of a guitar, strong and loud as it is eye catching.
If you're still reading, you probably care more about the sound than the looks. If you are looking for a unique vintage sound for blues, country or rocknroll, then this is a good one for you.
Neck is straight, action is good, frets are crowned and polished. Plays effortlessly and beautifully.
The tone has a characteristic vintage, dark and bass strong sound from the full mahogany construction. It has really nice harmonics and natural vibrancy.
Made in Korea, sometime between 1983-1992. It could be 1989 based on the first digits of the serial number, but hard to tell for sure with Fenders from this era.
I tried to picture most of the scrapes and scratches on the photos, but I'm sure there some other small ones that exist. No loose braces or any structural damage that affects playability.
Serial #D89043282
