Newport 90 Things I should know, but don't

[ArnieZ]

Is the 90 body thicker than standard Newpport Like an Improv?

Is the body carved out leaving the center block?

For the record mine has the largest Hamer neck I have ever played

Thanks Feynman!!

My understanding is that the dimensions are the same as the regular newport, but it does have the center block.

My other Semi Hollow, not chambered but solid down the middle!

I found this:

...which is the insides of a PhatCat/Bigsby-equipped Newport.

Not sure if that helps you - the tailpiece section would probably to be different.

The 90 has a full centerblock and is otherwise the same dimensions.

Also, damn.

I think your other guitar covers the base well, so you probably want to just get that Hamer back to me.
