PSA E-bay Newports

Yeah, Newport 90s are hard to find, so I wonder why that one is getting passed around so much. Anyone here familiar with that particular one?

I think that the prior listings were at a much higher price.

The current seller tried it at a higher price - no interest. The two previous times it sold for $1000 (best offer) and more recently at $1025 at full auction. I'd consider becoming the fifth owner, though you have to wonder why it's been up for sale so many times in such a short period of time.

Maybe in that kind of price range it was seen as an easy flip that didn't pan out that way?

Or the buyer is in a loud band and couldn't control the feedback or was disappointed with the return to pitch after yanking the Bigsby? It's harder to control feedback at a loud rehearsal in a small space where you're facing each other than when you're on stage and the speakers are behind you.

 
Take a look at how many auctions the Seller has going? He thought he bought it at a Steal and was going to make a profit. Its a $1000. NP-90. And I doubt there a thing wrong with it.

That Newport 90 would be my pick of the bunch. If I were in the market ...

That thing would have everything that people love about the early '90s Specials, plus lighter weight, classier trim, more dimensional sound and way wider range of tones.

I agree, do they all have Double bound bodys like this one? Hard not to like that guitar.

I never noticed that before; evidently the double-bound body is a standard feature exclusive to the Newport 90. It sure looks cool in black; kind of like a mini-Lucille (Willcutt).

I was watching this on Ebay. I can't understand how the owner did this. You could end an auction early with no-bids.

But that wasn't the case with this NP. How he also ended the auction without a reason posted is also beyond me? .........Flea-bay........
