The result of more than a decade of thoughtful design, the California Deluxe series is built to go wherever the music takes you. The California Deluxe Newporter™ CE raises the bar with refined construction and a tone suited for any situation.
Whether you’re composing at home or performing on stage, the California Deluxe Newporter™ CE is designed to keep up with you. Its elegant, sloped-shoulder silhouette is instantly recognizable, while its cutaway does more than catch the eye: it provides full access to the upper registers, allowing your creativity to flourish without limits. The solid Sitka spruce top, paired with a laminated mahogany back and sides—all reinforced by a lightweight scalloped X-brace—delivers a rich, balanced, and decidedly vibrant tone. Other highlights include oil-bath tuners with split posts that ensure impeccable tuning stability even during the longest sets; Micarta® nut and saddle for optimal sound transfer between the strings; and phosphor bronze strings that deliver a full, rich tone from the very first note. Plug in with complete confidence thanks to the Fishman® CD-1 preamp system with a built-in tuner, providing stage-ready amplification.
Versatile. Refined. Ready for anything. That’s the California Deluxe series!
