Biscoloco Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 One year old Spruce Newport with Phat Cats. I also have the orginal Seth Lover pickups.This guitar is in pristine shape with nothing more than a minor cosmetic ding near the headstock.The guitar cost 1,500. How much would I be able to sell it for if I need to??
discountsounds Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 What color is it? I'll trade you straight up for my sparkle orange 2000 Newport with stock Phat Cats and Bigsby.
cmatthes Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 $800-$900 for a guaranteed quick sale. $1,100 to $1,200 if you aren't under pressure to sell.
Biscoloco Posted February 9, 2006 Author Posted February 9, 2006 color wise it is this model:http://www.willcuttguitars.com/details.asp?stock_id=3946It isn't left handed and the colors on mine look a little more natural and less pronounced.I love the look and feel of this guitar.

Caddie Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Bisco, with all due respect, don't give up too fast on the Newport. I say that because I see you with various threads here looking for recommendations on pickups, amps, settings, etc for the Newport. You seem to be struggling with it. Struggling is not a bad thing, but don't give up too soon and take a big loss. The Newport is a wonderful guitar. Keep working at it, at least for a couple months. Take the amps & pedals you have, mix 'em in every possible combination you can. "Back in the old days" for me a couple tastes of scotch never hurt when I was struggling, and keep at it. If you have to, close yer eyes & spin all the knobs on all the components that have knobs. Or have someone who doesn't even play guitar turn the knobs for you while you play. Try not to get frustrated, cave in too fast, and sell off a fine guitar.Otherwise, you just keep flipping gear to the crowd of bottom feeders like me and losing money hand over fist. Not that this is a bad thing cuz then we bottom feeders get to feed our own pathetic addictions. Ah the gear food chain is a glorious thing, isn't it? ;-)noonan

Determine which rigs sound the best with the guitar, and then decide if it's worth the investment to get the right amp.I would say that an amp like the Lone Star Special, for instance, would go great with this guitar, as it is not too bright and has a very chimy EL84 vibe. On the other hand, your typical Fender 6L6 based amp with a lot of headroom would accentuate this guitar's native twanginess.
