Fender California Deluxe Newporter Sienna Sunburst

Fender California Deluxe Newporter CE for Stage, Studio, and Songwriting!

The Fender California Deluxe Newporter CE blends a distinctive acoustic design with practical features tailored to modern players. With a solid Sitka spruce top, laminated Mahogany back and sides, a cutaway and Fishman CD-1 electronics, it’s built for dynamic playing, versatile applications, and reliable performance.

Characterful Body Shape With Comfortable Access

The Newporter body gives the guitar a distinctive look and a balanced feel. Its slope-shoulder silhouette sits comfortably against the body, delivering a good balance of projection, response and control. The cutaway grants easy access to higher frets, making solos, voicings and melodic ideas in the upper register much more accessible. That makes the guitar as at home accompanying singers as it is for expressive fingerpicking, modern pop parts and singer-songwriter arrangements.

Solid Sitka Spruce Top and Mahogany Body

The solid Sitka spruce top delivers clear attack, lively dynamics and a strong fundamental tone. Paired with laminated Mahogany back and sides, it produces a full, balanced acoustic voice with warm low end and present highs. Scalloped X bracing supports the top’s vibration and contributes to a lively, open sound. As a result, the guitar responds sensitively to a range of playing styles—from gentle strumming to more aggressive attacks.

Mahogany Neck With Modern Playing Feel

The Mahogany neck with a Slim C profile offers a slim, familiar feel that supports smooth chord changes as well as precise single notes. The walnut fretboard has a 12" radius, giving a comfortably modern playing surface. The 25.5" scale delivers tight string tension, clear definition and immediate response. Vintage-style frets, a Micarta nut and Micarta saddle complete the build and contribute to clean tone transfer.

Fishman CD-1 Electronics for Amplified Sounds

Built for stage and recording, the California Deluxe Newporter CE features a Fishman CD-1 preamp. The onboard controls for volume, bass and treble let you dial in the amplified sound quickly. A built-in tuner and phase switch are also included. That lets you send a gig-ready signal straight to an amp, PA or audio interface with minimal fuss.

Reliable Hardware for Everyday Use

Sealed die-cast tuners with a split-shaft design keep the guitar in tune and make string changes easy. The phosphor bronze strings support a warm, full acoustic tone with good clarity. Together with the robust build and stage-ready electronics, this creates a versatile instrument for rehearsal, stage, studio and creative songwriting at home.
