California Deluxe Newporter White Blonde

Fender California Deluxe Newporter CE For Stage, Studio, And Songwriting!

The Fender California Deluxe Newporter CE pairs a distinctive Fender design with a highly playable acoustic guitar that performs confidently both unplugged and amplified. With a solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany body, cutaway and Fishman CD-1 Preamp, it's built for clear response, reliable performance and modern versatility.

Distinct Newporter Shape With Comfortable Cutaway

The Newporter body shape offers a distinct acoustic approach that deliberately sets itself apart from classic dreadnought or folk designs. The slope-shoulder silhouette sits comfortably against the body and balances projection, immediacy and playing comfort. The cutaway gives you easier access to higher frets, making the guitar as suited to chord work as to melodic lines, voicings and solo passages. Especially for songwriting, acoustic sets or band contexts, this design provides flexible playability that won't hold you back.

Solid Sitka Spruce And Mahogany For A Lively Tone

The solid Sitka spruce top provides a quick response, clear highs and a solid dynamic foundation. Paired with laminated mahogany back and sides it yields a full, balanced sound with warm midrange character and a defined low end. The scalloped X-bracing enhances the top's vibration and helps render pick nuances transparently. Whether fingerpicking, open chords or vigorous strumming, the guitar responds directly while staying controlled. That makes it suitable for pop, folk, singer-songwriter, country, indie and many modern acoustic styles.

Mahogany Neck With Walnut Fretboard

The mahogany neck with a Slim C profile offers a familiar, comfortably slim feel. The walnut fretboard with a 12" (305 mm) radius supports clean chord changes, fluid runs and controlled fretting across all 20 frets. The 25.5" scale provides firm string tension, clear intonation and precise response. A Micarta nut and Micarta saddle contribute to consistent string vibration transfer, while the closed die-cast tuners with split-shaft design deliver stable tuning. The factory phosphor bronze strings produce a full, overtone-rich acoustic tone.

Fishman CD-1 Preamp For Amplified Acoustic Sounds

For live shows, recording and rehearsal the guitar is equipped with a Fishman CD-1 Preamp. The volume, bass and treble controls let you quickly dial in settings for an amp, PA or audio interface. There's also an onboard tuner and a phase switch. That enables you to check tuning right on the instrument and better control feedback on stage. The result preserves the guitar's natural acoustic character while giving you the control and usability of a modern electro-acoustic instrument.
