I have one of the old, 1960s mahogany bodied Newporters with the bolt-on Strat type neck, and a stamp inside saying Anaheim California.
Although I have a much better Jumbo acoustic (a 1957 Genuine Epiphone), the Fender is my favourite.
It plays beautifully easily, has a sweet and distinctive sound, and records wonderfully both on the Mic and with a soundhole pickup.
Cheers
Dave
