Welcome to Musicdungeon. This is the Fender Custom Shop Newporter Acoustic Electric Guitar. 25.5" scale. 1.71" nut width. 14 7/8" bottom bout. 4.25" deep. This Newporter was made in Fender's Hartford Custom Shop. Limited to just 150 pieces, this one is very early in the run- #19. Of course, the Custom Shop build makes for an exceptional instrument. The auditorium sized body is made from solid mahogany all around. This creats one of the sweetest acoustic tones you could ever hope for. With every strum, the entire guitar comes alive. Lows you can feel and slightly rounded highs. This Newporter has a huge natural tone- one of the most responsive acoustics I have ever had the joy of playing. Chords here have incredible depth while each note projects beautifully while retaining a full tone. The natural projection here is exceptional, but, should you need to reach the back of the hall, this Fender has the Fishman Sonitone pickup system onboard. This pickup allows the beautiful natural tone to come through uncolored. There are volume & tone controls located in the soundhole. Easy to get to while keeping a clean aesthetic. Very impressive. As good as this sounds, the feel is at least parallel. The maple neck here has an electric feel- .83" deep at the 5th fret with a C profile. Add to that the 9" fretbaord radius and you have an instrument just as at-home with chords as it is with single note lines. The look is gorgeous- natural finish showing off the mahogany, 'viking' bridge, gold pickguard, multi-ply body binding, checkerboard rosette, dot inalys, and, of course, the 'Strat' headstock. A true thing of beauty. This Newporter is in exceptional condition- really nothing to report. The frets are clean- set up with action just over 3/32" at the 12th fret low E. This auction includes the original hardshell case and COA. This is your chance to get your hands on a true tone machine and a low numbered limited edition collectible- the 2013 Fender USA Custom Shop Newporter. We are an authorized Fender dealer. Buy with confidence. Don't pass this by!
