  1. A few interests but no commitment yet. Let me know your offer. Bump for a great guitar!
  2. This is an '03 Hamer Newport Pro that was custom ordered by the original owner though Hamer dealer Al Pepiak. I’m the second owner. Custom options were victory inlays, bound f-holes (I think this was a $500 upcharge) and custom color. the color was spec'd to be similar to Hamer Jazzburst but with a honey/cognac center and no black at the edges. More of a subtle violin or Cremona burst. The neck is a standard Hamer medium c carve and feels really nice but not too thick. The pickups were changed to a Wolfetone custom set which is an uncovered Marshallhead mark II in the bridge and a nickel covered Dr Vintage in the neck. The volume and tone control knobs are NOS Hamer Blitz knobs supplied by Hamer. The bridge saddles are graphtech and the grover tuning buttons are ebony. The guitar weighs 6lbs 15oz and includes the original case, truss rod wrench and certificate of authentication. The Newport pro is a hollow body guitar with a carved mahogany back and a solid, carved spruce top and mahogany neck. It is really light and resonant and really sings at stage volume. The Wolfetone pickups are lightly potted and I have not had any feedback issues. Frets show minor grooves but no buzz. The guitar is set up to play with 9's. There are a couple of dings on the headstock. One is through the finish. There are a couple of dings on the body as shown in the photos. The 2 body dings were sealed by a repairman since spruce is such a soft wood. No worming or belt buckling on the back. The case is in really good shape. All latches work and the handle is in good shape too. Asking price is sold PayPal or Zelle, which includes conus only insured shipping. Any questions please let me know
  3. Thank you for the instruction. I was using my laptop but the inserted image becomes a black square. Not sure what went wrong...
  4. I haven't posted here for a while and forgot how to add pictures... Do you mind sharing the tutorial?
  5. Thank you everyone for the help! I've sold it on Reverb. Selling a pretty rare Hamer Chaparral 12 strings to thin the herd. I believe it's made in 87' so it's part of the 1st generation Chaparral with a 24.75" scale length, mahogany set neck, mahogany body, rosewood fingerboard, and best of all, a large stadium logo on the headstock. All parts are original, including the fantastic sounding pickups made by Dimarzio. I've always wanted a hard tail Chaparral so it's currently set up with 6 strings but a brand new pack of 12 strings will be included along with an unfilled warranty card. Condition-wise it has some dents around the body edge and some checking, mainly on the back of neck. Function-wise everything works very well. The official hardshell case is super clean inside and has some rough edges on the outside. I've done a few transactions here but most of time just lurking around and learning all things Hamer. Any questions, please PM me. Thank you!
