Specifically, the Newporter Player is a semi-massive instrument with a medium-sized body and a balanced balance of articulation and clarity. Its services will be equally appreciated by songwriters playing with finger technique and pick technique.
The body construction offers a time-honored combination of woods in the form of a solid Sitka spruce front board and a back and sides made of over-ply mahogany. A walnut fingerboard with twenty frets is glued to the mahogany neck, and white position dots make it easy to navigate. The instrument's resonant qualities are enhanced by the optimized reduced ribbing (Scalloped X), which also makes the instrument slightly lighter.
The guitar is equipped with Fishman electronics with integrated tuner, which does not degrade the natural acoustic sound of the instrument. Good resonance of the strings and tuning is guaranteed by their attachment through the saddle and the zero fret made of Graph Tech NuBone material in the company's nickel mechanics and walnut headstock in a stylish Modern Viking shape. The basic materials used are complemented visually and practically by the Aged White body binding, gold pickguard, two-ring rosette and headstock logo.
