burningyen Posted June 2, 2025 Posted June 2, 2025 I've been on the lookout for a black Newport of any variety for many years. In Kaki's listing of her natural Newport Pro (https://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/104071-psa-hamer-newport-pro-and-check-out-the-seller/), she mentioned that her black one got more use. I couldn't help myself and PMed her saying that if she ever thought about selling that one to please let me know. One thing led to another, and: I love how it's clearly gotten a ton of playing time but still looks beautiful. You can probably see in the 1st pic how Kaki's fierce nails impacted the top. Interestingly it's the lightest of my three and has the most top and bottom end. My Pro Custom has a very mid-focused sound, and the N90 is somewhere in between. What can I say, I'm a lucky guy!
RobB Posted June 2, 2025 Posted June 2, 2025 That’s a nice one, Ben. All that wear makes it look like a real vintage guitar. Congrats!
tbonesullivan Posted June 3, 2025 Posted June 3, 2025 Found a picture of the blonde with the single inlay and also finally found video of the red one, cherry with that weird tailpiece Hamer used. I guess she had four for different tunings.

geoff_hartwell Posted June 3, 2025 Posted June 3, 2025 Duuuuuuude that is Awesome! Super cool guitar and killer lineage 🤘❤️😎
Feynman Posted June 3, 2025 Posted June 3, 2025 Also, posting that trio photo was just mean. You know it would look better in chrome or nickel, right?
