I'm not into swapping pickups.. I dont like to tinker... I should just be happy with what I have. which I am... I just like to change things up every now and then... maye Im barking down the wrong road and should be looking for some fully hollow guitar...

I'm gonna bump this.. I've been gigging this guitar and really do love it.. but I am hankering to try a newport and want to have the cash ready to go if one pops up. Im still at my price of wanting to clear 2k.. Alas.. I'm happy either way...

I really am interested in a Newport.. I love my artist.. but I think I want a guitar that will start to feedback sooner like a hollowbody. I had a great 6118 and I loved the edge of feedback I was getting at gig levels (body was just too big on me though). Will a Newport be anything like that? there is a Gibson 335 that is local for sale for $1900 that is tempting also (prob wont like the big body though).. Just wondering looking for some exp and advice on these two guitars in a gigging situation.. thanks

sweet deal

we all want to buy one

just throwing it out there.. worlds would have to align perfectly just to be clear. I have the artist

Dang... good price.. and a beaut.. someone needs to snag it.. if I were local.. Id be tempted .. and I already have an artist

I tried selling mine here for 2.2 or 2..1k and no bites.. so that is even high IMO

i have an artist custom that I will gladly let go for 10k if someone wants it I actually think the top on mine is better than this one

oh boy.. video added ...

Bump.. price drop

dare I say too nice to play... lol

$650 to me.. shipping shouldnt be too bad its a light guitar. Original shipping box and bag. $989 new bought this kinda on a whim.. guitar is quality (MIJ) is pretty much perfect except the volume knob was falling off.... but kinda fixed that.. very versatile guitar.. with the pull up on the volume knob.. not really a boost but adds some fire to the tone ... gigged it once or twice .. cant remember.. its about 3 months old.. great action .. great neck.. and under 7lbs....

congrats.. if I had the cash in my paypal.. I woulda a snagged it

yeah.. that sounds right.. I'll have to look for the box .. Im not getting any interest anyhow though.. I didnt think I would

I like it.. its the tailpiece not the bridge though.. its lighter than the original too

I think this is a 96' I will get more info.. every now and then I put this guitar up.. I'll have to weight it.. I think its in the high 7's. This is a really nice guitar and in really good condition... I did add pearl tuner keys and recently had the barrel jack replaced with a new one... so its ready to go.. I have live clips of it... OHSC I just remembered I may have updated the tailpiece to one with less of a break angle.. if I did.. the original should be in the case arrrgghh just doing this on a whim I do love this guitar but life is too short not to experiment Ive decided to keep it for now again.. .. I cant find a delete button

I might put my artist up for sale and if it sells.. (which I doubt it will) I'd def buy yours just to try it

wish you were local.. Id love to try it first... I already have an artist.. but who knows.. maybe I'd like this one better...

jeez.. this is still here??? sign of the times I guess

I cant remember the last time I used a hard case for a gig.. all my cases are just stacked up on a shelf and I pass by them every now and then and wave at them

can I see and where is it at?

really want a custom bound and inlays flames and or grain.. cherry burst .. prefer non flat color or korina...$$ depends on how much I like it

ah... my other two hamers are basically natural.... I need some color in my life

ok.. who has them all and when are you going to start to put them up for sale? sheesh.... they never come around anymore...
