:D Like I wrote in the other thread... It has mini switches. That makes a Floyd Rose mandatory....

....or you can just send it to me for safe keeping. :D

I need to take the time to take some good pics, but I snapped this one today after installing the Z90s, which was a pain in the ass but well worth it.

Don't get me wrong. It's a great score and a hassle to solder anything inside the guitar. But, I always think the Bigsby is missing on the Pros.

Today wasn't the day either. I've missed out on a couple of buys this year alread because if funds. You know what, i'm the better for it and new guitars come along everyday.

I said it once in this thread already, one of the best if not THE best Hamer ever. I was going to purchase and Artist this year but I think I would like to have a Newport with an Ebony Board and a Flame Maple Top instead.

WOW! That siliver sparkle is excellent. As is the goldie with TV Jones! I can't contribute much to this thread other than saying I always wanted an orange Newport!

sounds like a great combo , maple & ebony looks great together & should be very articulate

Wow, that's a nice shot. That color really looks good in that lighting. When I was a kid, my pop bought a brand-new '69 Chevy Malibu station-wagon of a similar color. I never knew whether to call it blue or green. I suppose it was a kind of an aqua or turquoise thing. I dig Newports, and that one has a nice style all its own.
