WTB: Something cool. Newport? SuperPro?

[lang]

If you have something that you've been on the fence about moving, but just haven't been motivated enough to post yet, I'd like to hear about it!

interests:
  Custom orders.
  Tally Pro's
  Super Pro's
  A Newport Pro?
  A Studio custom order? (maybe a 30th anniv?  A redwood?  A triple threat?  I can dream.)
  And heck, while we're filling out the "no way in hell" wishlist, a Monaco Monaco, or a Newport 90 would certainly be very interesting too.

No bigsby's, please.

Thanks!

These is the fun threads!

What, no vintage s ?

Good luck with the search. I guess I have owned at least one of each of those, except the Newport 90. All of them were great. The only one of the lot left here is a Super Pro custom order, which I never expect to sell. These things just do not pop up as often as they once did. And prices have sure changed!

@django49 You oughta post a pic anyway, even if it's not-for-sale.    That custom super pro is drool worthy.

Probably my favorite Hamer ever with @cmatthes's Cadillac green Monaco 3 is a very near second. (apologies for posting @django49's guitar, but I keep the photo always quickly available). 😉

Yes, I saw that.  Nice guitar, but not for me.  GLWTS!

Once upon a time, I had pondered selling it.....I had a long conversation way back when with Mr. Shishkov about building (one or two) variations on the theme, just a few little tweaks I had in mind for my personal taste. Well, it turned out that it would not be happening, so my one Shishkov will have to do. And it is actually a good companion to this one. 😉

Now I understand that David Myka has resumed building, so one never knows. But last I checked with him, he was not adding anyone to his queue.....And I am sorta past the "place your order and wait 3 years" stage.....🤨

I think I’m all done buying guitars, but if the Monaco DuoTone ever hits the market again I might have to make an exception.

That would be fun. I think you mean this one......Let it go a while ago. FWIW, the "acoustic" side of it worked less well than in other guitars. But certainly still good.

 

I do regret selling my "Ultimate" custom order Duotone.....Sort of a mashup with the style of the Artist Ultimate and special pickups and wiring. Ah well...

No, I’m referring to a natural spruce-top Monaco with a DuoTone bridge and electronics that someone custom ordered. Can’t find a pic anymore, sadly.
