It is designed for players who want an acoustic instrument that is comfortable to hold while providing an amplified option for rehearsal, recording, or live performance. The Honey Burst finish, black pickguard, and 6-in-line headstock give it a Fender-inspired appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn all-solid okoume body forms the top, back, and sides of this model. Its X-braced top and mid-size body shape support a balanced, articulate acoustic response for both strumming and fingerstyle playing. The body is finished in satin and fitted with maple binding and a maple rosette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe slim C-shaped neck is made for a familiar, easy-playing feel. A pau ferro fingerboard, 20 frets, 15.75-inch radius, and 1.69-inch bone nut provide a practical layout for chord work and melodic playing. The cutaway helps reach the higher register without changing the guitar's compact auditorium-style profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor amplified use, the Fishman Flex Body system combines an undersaddle piezo pickup with an internal body transducer. Volume, tone, and blend controls let the player adjust the mix between the body sensor and piezo sources. The tone control also includes a push function for phase control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Newporter Special fits a straightforward acoustic-electric setup: use it acoustically on its own, or connect it to a compatible acoustic amplifier, PA system, or recording device. Vintage-style tuning machines, a Modern Viking bridge, bone nut, and included FA-620 Deluxe Gig Bag support regular playing, transport, and storage. It is a suitable option for players seeking a solid-wood Fender acoustic-electric with onboard pickup blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNewporter Body Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-size auditorium form balances playing comfort with a cutaway for upper-fret access.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-Solid Okoume Body:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid okoume top, back, and sides provide the instrument's acoustic foundation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFishman Flex Body Electronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blends an undersaddle piezo and internal body transducer for amplified use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlim C Neck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offers a familiar, comfortable profile for chords and lead work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhase Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Push the tone knob to engage phase control when amplified.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeluxe Gig Bag:\u003c\/strong\u003e Included FA-620 bag helps protect the guitar during transport and storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Newporter Special uses a satin-finished solid okoume body with maple binding, maple rosette, and a 1-ply black pickguard.
