Feynman Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Ben and I are going to keep bumping this thread...help us out here.
tomteriffic Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 This is still going on? OK, make me fourth in line.
veatch Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I think i'll just have Mr. Shishkov build me something better...
Feynman Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Yes, I have been mulling Newport/Monaco-ish Shishkov fantasy build options for awhile now, but that's well into the future. I want a Newport 90 now. What if I say 'please?'
Bobby Marshall Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 One sold within 10 minutes from my work this spring. Still kicking myself for missing it.

Boomerang~Junkie Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I can't tell you anything about where the rest of the Newport 90's are . . . . but I can sure tell you were the LAST one Hamer crafted is located.
belgian Posted August 5, 2014 Author Posted August 5, 2014 Mine was on a stage in Holland, Luxembourg and Belgium a couple of weeks ago with my friend Guy Forsyth.
Sugartune Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Every example I've seen of those have been super nice looking. I dont normally care for white/cream guitars, but boomerang junkie, that one is a beauty.Good luck to all on the hunt.
Boomerang~Junkie Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Thank you, I was very fortunate to have been able to snag it. Sorry for the crappy color-adjusted photo, I am not a very good photographer. The color on the front is actually a mint green (Gretsch color), fairly close to seafoam. I couldn't get the color to come out correctly inside the house. It lives up to its "Newport" pedigree in every way. Good luck to all with their hunt - this one will be staying here.
vicjoy1945 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 There was one at Music Gallery a month ago or so and I missed it...George said it came and went very fast. I'm in there all the time but never saw it....if I had....oh well.
burningyen Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 You guys are killing me. Another pic of that green one while it was at the factory in canceled-order limbo:
Bobby Marshall Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 One sold within 10 minutes from my work this spring. Still kicking myself for missing it.Music Gallery?Yep.
Bobby Marshall Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I can't tell you anything about where the rest of the Newport 90's are . . . . but I can sure tell you were the LAST one Hamer crafted is located. I had the opportunity to get her but I wussed out. Glad to see she is in the HFC fold.
cynic Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 One sold within 10 minutes from my work this spring.Still kicking myself for missing it.Music Gallery?Yep.I lucked out and saw that one at most ten minutes after they posted it on eBay.
vicjoy1945 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Yup...you were lucky !! Like I said I'm in there all the time but never saw it !!

It lives up to its "Newport" pedigree in every way. Good luck to all with their hunt - this one will be staying here. That explains why I liked it. Not actually white. I love that Gretschy mint green. Makes it even sexier.
Ting Ho Dung Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Fuck you guys. I'm going home. Didn't anyone see this? And to think I kept my mouth shut about it all this time. LOL. Scott, you owe me some BBQ sauce!!! Oh god, my stomach hurts.
Boomerang~Junkie Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Michael, Not mine - I still have MY Newport and know you've called "dibs". I'll send you some sauce anyway, cause that's how we do it here in the BBQ Capital of the WORLD!

cynic Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 I'll send you some sauce anyway, cause that's how we do it here in the BBQ Capital of the WORLD! Sauce and BBQ Capital of the World shouldn't be used in the same sentence.

I'll send you some sauce anyway, cause that's how we do it here in the BBQ Capital of the WORLD! Okay, well move along then. My mistake. Rick Scott is passing out hits of Black Acid around the Lakeland Civic Center. Can't say if this was posted before or after.

Nah, there's no doubt some great BBQ there too, but we're right here in River City . . . . . . and been at it for over a hundred years. We are the home of the Kansas City BBQ Society (Competitive BBQ's largest sanctioning body) and with well over 100 (open and operational) BBQ restaurants in the KC Metro area alone and of course - The American Royal BBQ contest (75,000+ people, 550+ teams and thousands of pounds of meat smoked), ~ universally recognized as, "The World Series of BBQ" as well as the Great Lenexa Barbeque Battle - which determines the BBQ Champion for the entire state of Kansas. With over a century of incredible BBQ in this town - our rich history of extensive, strong local competition, credentials and of course our BBQ speak for themselves (sauces too). http://www.kcbs.us/about.php http://www.americanroyal.com/events/world-series-of-barbecue%c2%ae http://www.forbes.com/sites/larryolmsted/2012/10/19/the-worlds-best-barbecue-really/ http://barbequekansascity.com/?p=468
