topekatj Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 They should’ve gone with an ebony fingerboard on the Newport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rugby1970 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 The black Newport is a looker and the ebony board would have put it over the top but $1600 is a little rich for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spent much more for other Newports, other Hamers and other guitars. And this one's a beaut, Clark. If I had the cash I'd pick it up but it's just not the right time.

neastguy Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 aren't Newports a little bright sounding anyhow (from what I heard) I think an ebony board would make it even brighter IMO... so it might be better off this way.. I dig it.. but out of my price range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeboy Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 The black just adds a certain something to that particular guitar that is just badass.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningyen Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 OP, are you sure that's a spruce top on the black Newport? I would expect to see the finish sinking into the grain like this one: Word on the street was that Jol nixed black over spruce because of the grain sinking issue but agreed to make 2 black Newport Pros for BCR (1 went to Tonejunkee and 1 went to Buzzy Fretts) and the Bigsby+Trons one above, with the rest having maple tops. Killer either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
