bubs_42 Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 Lovely Monaco III from crywolf. Even better than the red version for my opinion. That one is awsome but not digging the gold. Great guitar. Really looking for a Newport and I almost got side tracked. If you got one and your thinking of parting with it drop me a pm or email bubs_42@yahoo.com. Any color but I would like to stay away from Gold Hardware and Bigsby. But I won't rule out the Bigsby, I find a bunch of grey hairs over the weekend.
Sam Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Shame that you missed this one for $1200. It didn't last long. Tort binding, BE top with mahogany back...I could go on.

I bought mine in spring and, currently, plan to change electrics to five way rotary plus a different set of pickups. Still P90, but a bit warmer in tone. The more I play it, the more I have the impression the Phat Cats lose their fat. Anyways, it has a Bigsby on board. So, sorry again.

ac15 Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I don't have a photo right now, but I'm seriously considering selling my Monaco III. It's a tobacco burst with ebony fingerboard. Bought it from Wilcutt in 2005. It looks something like this one, but not as light colored. Plus it has the ebony fingerboard.http://www.willcuttguitars.com/_product_31...obacco_SunburstEdited to add: Never mind, I see that you don't want a Bigsby, which mine has.

seeker Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 You pretty set on no gold hardware? This one's got a spruce top; Hamer will not do anymore in black.

bubby1026 Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I ran a Newport Thread a few weeks ago with not much luck. I'm looking to use up my guitar fund before the baby arrives and my prioritys change. I'm also trying not to buy that Phantom Custom that is killing me. I do not have a Semi Hollow in my stable and I enjoyed BruceM 's Newport when I was up in Minn. I also have to say I completely dig the Superpro and Monaco III. Email Pics and Info. Thanks in advance.Note: Eboney Board is a +I have a black Artist Mahogany. I can email photos if you'd like.
