Dude! You're great at guitar. Don't be down on your skill. I played around with one of these today. It was $125USD. I went with Takamine instead, but I am having some regret. I really didn't like the finish of the one I played today though. It was black and then that a huge fan of those kinds of looks. Thanks for the review. 🇵🇭

good review

[@alexkwok7597]

Fabulous review! Really informative ! I am trying to decide between the CD-140SCE and this Newporter. Would you have any thoughts on which one to go for ?

[@enzokko]

Realistically speaking, there isn’t that much of a difference between the two models other than body size and aesthetic. I personally chose the Newporter because I absolutely loved its slimmer body shape, in addition to its Stratocaster-style headstock. Had I not been looking for these two factors, I have a feeling I would’ve considered the CD-140SCE as a possible alternative, as well. Hope this helps!

I just bought one, hope they’re good.

[@enzokko]

I feel like you’d have to have extremely high standards to _not_ enjoy playing a Newporter, haha!

[@atomgroup3179]

@@enzokko I bought one online and then I started panic, I looked for bad reviews, comparing similar guitars. But I’m happy to see you enjoying it and hearing it not having buzz at higher frets. I personally love the design and I pray that the one I got would have a great quality, so I can stop worrying😂

What is the difference between the Newporter player, special amd classic? Thnx

[@enzokko]

If I’m not mistaken, the Special and Classic versions are both higher-end than the Player model, either due to their special finish, upgraded onboard tech, or both. Hope this helps!

hey man, greetings from argentina!!! i'm saving money to buy this guitar, you really recommend it to me? i have been playing guitar for 11 years and i looking for something amateur-pro

[@enzokko]

Of course! Even though I haven’t been playing guitar for as long as you have, I only have good things to say about the Newporter, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new acoustic guitar. Hope that helps!

[@ivooliveira536]

Hey bro!!! I finally bought this guitar, it is really beautiful, I thank you again for your video and for giving me the confidence to buy it, I highly recommend this guitar!
