Greg G Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Absolutely gorgeous Newport for sale. Kept in my studio-free home. Trans Orange, quilt top, ebony board, natural headstock overlay. Stock, no mods. This guitar is a time capsule. Not one scratch, ding or boo boo anywhere. No fret wear. It is literally "as new" as far as I can tell. At least one HFC member here said it was a custom order but I have no proof of that. That's neither here nor there anyway. OHSC has a couple of minor dings but nothing serious. I'll get some more photos up today. The color is hard (for me) to capture accurately. Beautiful Hamer trans orange, no sparkle. Asking $1650 PP, shipped and sanitized for your protection. Ships to lower 48. PP gift, postal money order or other forms of payment with no fees for yours truly put it at $1600 shipped. I realize that's quite a bit to ask for a Newport. I'm asking what I paid for it and considering it's unique features and pristine condition, it's worth it IMHO.

DaveL Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 very nice... like new Hamers becoming an endangered species
bubs_42 Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Can't believe its still here at that price. I honestly don't have the money or it would be gone. Maple or Hog back?
Hfan Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Keep it in the family somebody.. Reasonably priced with those options and it's condition. I have too many guitars and too little time to play but when I get my Newport out of the case it is always a jaw dropping experience. The thing is alive.
Greg G Posted February 15, 2016 Author Posted February 15, 2016 Tried to edit the OP to add photos but I couldn't make it work. Here's a few. No blemishes on the back, that's just the reflection of my lawn. This one is not going to Reverb. It stays in the family or it stays with me. Cliché, yes but I don't really need to sell it. I'll let it percolate here for awhile.
killerteddybear Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 I chuckled when I read 'studio-free home'.
Kayaker Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Hi Greg, Absolute stunning! If this is still available, I'll take it! I've always wanted a Newport and have been waffling about it for a few years. Too good to resist! I'm PMing you now. - Kayaker
Greg G Posted February 15, 2016 Author Posted February 15, 2016 Sold pending payment. Thanks for looking!
Boomerang~Junkie Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Somebody is going to LOVE that beautiful guitar! Congrats on a great get.
Kayaker Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 I'm the lucky owner and can't wait for it to arrive! :-) Thanks for the positive comments. In my excitement to get the payment out, I forgot to publicly thank Greg for selling it here, rather than the larger "elsewhere" sites... and to express my thanks to the entire Hamer Fan Club for being here! - Kayaker
Boomerang~Junkie Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 You do realize you are obligated under the official HFC code of regulations and genearal GAS bylaws (?) to post a detailed review of your newest toy!

Boomerang~Junkie Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Why do I get the distinct impression a "Benny Hill" style salute is in play here?
