Toadroller 3,601 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Newport's gone. Good price at $1299. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
velorush 5,753 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Just saw this. I'd have been all over that Newport, but then again, I don't even remember my eBay password... it's been a really long time... and good riddance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ArnieZ 1,679 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I'm feeling a little sick over missing that Newport 90. Sold for what a good condition Newport would get. Definitely would have bought it😩 arniez 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kizanski 15,233 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Yeah, those don't last long. Someone scored big there. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stedge 179 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Same boat here. Been looking for an n90 and slipped right past me, dang it. That other korina special i thought just sold on reverb and was formerly owned by an HFCer. I think?..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

a.bandini 956 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 That was a good deal. Wish I'd gotten it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stedge 179 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 you know, you're at work, putting in a hard day, and you stop surfing for one gosh darn minute and the f@#$%^& guitar pops up and is gone before you finish a dump and have some coffee and get back to surfin. Dangit. 1 1 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
soli'd 1,184 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 That Korina special is very similar to my first Hamer, but mine had Tonepros wraptail and tuners (Kluson style). I really fought with that hardware; if mine had grovers like this one I may have kept it. I've searched for years for a Newport 90; would've been gutted missing this one if it weren't for shish 91, which vanquished that GAS, and did so in style. 😎 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BoogieMKIIA 466 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 How to tell if the Special is Korina or a ‘hog with a pick guard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stedge 179 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I asked. THere is no certificate available. I suspect you could track it down somehow, but I am too lazy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
