bubs_42 8,543 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Damnit this may be the best Modern Hamer. I'm itching for a Maple TOP with buckers. My Studio is a machine of its own and my Old Standard was a great ride. But once you plug into a newport and then switch out guitars to another, everything else seems thin.

Bobby Marshall 638 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Newports are cool. Just missed an NOS NEW90 by a few weeks.Conrad's NEW90 is just a cut above for me partly because I really love a wraparound bridge. The white p90 covers really pop on her.Conrad, if it is not too much trouble, would you be so kind as to post some glamour shots of her. Link to post Share on other sites

RobB 5,965 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Goldtop Hamer Newport (word on the street is that it belonged to a KMC rep in Texas...). TVJones Classictrons, Tom Anderson Bigsby mod, Faber locking bridge. Thinking of adding an "Atkins Bigsby bar", as the standard bar is a bit too far away from where l pick. What a great-sounding instrument. The spruce/mahogany combo in this guitar is great. Compressed/sustain-ey at the same time. A great substitute for my Nippon-Gretsch Tennessee Rose, which was way too big a guitar for my stature. Link to post Share on other sites

hamerhead 17,840 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Ooooh that's harsh. It's supposed to be sunny this Sunday. You gotta have sun to make the sparkle pop. Soon enough? But here's a pic of one that looks just exactly like it............ .....except mine's more orange. And sparkly. With a Bigsby. And Phat Cats. And chrome hardware. And less switches. But otherwise identical. Link to post Share on other sites

I should be righteous and superior, but I think I would rather have that guitar. Link to post Share on other sites

Out actually using the damn things and missing out on acquiring more. I should be righteous and superior, but I think I would rather have that guitar. If it were me, I'd totally go with the righteous superiority. .....except mine's more orange. And sparkly. With a Bigsby. And Phat Cats. And chrome hardware.
