BubbaVO Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Newport p-90 ... practically unattainable. But Shishkov DC2 (Sol'd's #91) does fire up the imagination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezerboy Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I had an orange one with humbuckers... sold it for a mere 1k. I replaced it with a red one, P90s & Bixby. and wish I had it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in that Two-Tone Smoke Green like on the old Gretsch Anniversary models. I'll have to look around for pics, but I've got them somewhere...

However, it is a beautiful looking guitar. I know someone got yelled at for taking too much time for building the pick guard, which looks amazingly cool on a guitar that should not have a pick guard.

Hamer's burst naming got confusing towards the end, but officially the standard N90 color was Tobacco Burst, an amber-to-burnt sienna burst. Jazzburst historically tended to be an amber-to-black burst but drifted into Tobacco Burst territory towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay Gretsch green and a pickguard rings a bell. I think I’ve seen a photo of this one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningyen Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Some cool one-offs I recall from years past: BadgerDave's satin orange one: Conrad's red one: And the last one to leave the factory, in Gretsch Green: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veatch Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 One difference between the tobacco burst and the jazzburst (aka the finish of champions) is that the jazzburst has a burst on the front and back (including the neck) Tobacco burst only has a burst on the front.

Ua D Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Probably sacrilege but the first thing I would do is remove the pickguard. I don’t like how it covers the f hole. It just seems wrong on this guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
