ArnieZ Posted May 23 Posted May 23 (edited) 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!! Edited May 23 by ArnieZ 15 2 Quote
veatch Posted May 23 Posted May 23 (edited) My understanding is that the dimensions are the same as the regular newport, but it does have the center block. Edited May 24 by veatch 2 Quote

hamerhead Posted May 25 Posted May 25 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. 7 Quote
Feynman Posted May 25 Posted May 25 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. 2 1 2 1 Quote

ArnieZ Posted Wednesday at 11:09 AM Author Posted Wednesday at 11:09 AM Anyone know how many Newport 90's are out there Veatch, Ben, Shark, Belgian, me ... Who else? arniez Quote
veatch Posted Wednesday at 11:44 AM Posted Wednesday at 11:44 AM I heard 13, but no idea if that is right. 2 Quote
Feynman Posted Wednesday at 03:40 PM Posted Wednesday at 03:40 PM I heard 7 from a pretty reliable inside source, but that also a couple of end-of-days custom orders may not have been counted. …and yours is the original catalog guitar. I am dumb, but also a nice guy. 3 3 Quote
