Fender Newporter Player NAT WN

For the price - very respectable!

I've played a number of acoustic guitars ranging from 200 to 2000 €. First of all - you can forget the "top shelf" sound but you can expect "value for money" from this guitar. Pros: - Very nice finish overall (gloss lacquer and frets are perfect) - Very comfortable electric guitar-like neck and great action - Nice overall "Cali" design and feel - Fun and "fast" to play - High piched, "brilliance" and "airy" sound (some may find it a con) - quality, nice looking vintage tuners - High quality Graph-Tec NuBone bridge AND saddle Cons: - A bit stale body design - Not the top shelf sound (Tylor, Martin etc.) - Some may dislike the high pitched sound and lower bass response - No tuner with electronics (just tone and volume) - Battery seemes to be located inside the soundhole Haven't tried/neutral: - Haven't tried the electronics yet, but supposedly it's good. - The scale is interesting: 25,6" (I like it) - Joints and glued parts are ok in the price range - bending is better than most acoustics for sure, but I was expecting a tiny-itsy bit more. Conclusion: All in all it's a very worthy guitar for 350 €. I was considering an Epiphone J-200 studio, wich may have a better sound but the Newporter is a bit smaller, faster and very fun to play. I can recommend this guitar for home, recording and probably for gigs (but must try the electronics first).
