jazz burst newport


Recommended Posts

An interesting story - a few years ago I had a dream where I saw a jazzburst Newport accompanied by a very strong feeling that it was going to be "the" guitar I should find for jazz.  I kept looking for Newports for a couple years in all color schemes. I found a jazzburst in St Louis on Craigslist and made a deal with the guy to meet and pay him $1000 for it but he backed out and never returned my calls.  A buddy of mine was willing to sell me his natural colored one but it just wasn't the right one for me. About two years later I finally found this one and loved it. It was amazingly prophetic.

If you say: „I saw a jazzburst Newport accompanied by a very strong feeling that it was going to be "the" guitar I should find for jazz.“

Does that mean, I'd have to search for a bluesburst, rockburst,  punkburst and perhaps sth. like an inbetweenburst, too?

Did they even make those, back then? :ph34r:

It's priced about right.  Since the seller is open to offers, go ahead and ask if they'll accept a different offer.  You never know the seller's situation.  

In the interest of full disclosure, I'm selling one too. So obviously I have an interest in propping up prices.  But I will say that I've researched prices and don't think that Jazzburst is out of line.

Does anyone know what the GC guitar in the OP sold for last month?  I'm looking at a jazzburst newport pro on reverb, wondering what a fair offer may be.

Want to assist Bubba: Price is right.

For a similar Model from 06 (in about 7,5/10 cond.) I paid about the same plus int'l  shipping within Europe.

Think, what you would have to pay for a comparable a Gibson CS 336...

Ask Belgian. He’s got an overdose of them.

The dose makes the poison.

Too many Newports may not be the baddest sort of an overdose ;-)
