Legendary neck with incredible feel





The Fender neck has become legendary among guitarists of nearly all genres. The Newporter Player carries the torch for that legendary feel with an incredibly comfortable slim-taper, "C"-shaped profile. This cut is ultra-friendly on the fret hand, letting you slide up and down the neck for leads as well as chords in all positions. This incredible neck is complemented visually with the classic matching 6-in-line headstock ? a much-loved design here at Sweetwater.
