Plays beautifully. it's $1600 on Reverb, the HFC deal is $OLD PP/F&F, plus shipping. Continental US Only.
0054 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Have Gravelin Tron style in my Newport, transformed it. Good deal here. Also the cherryburst is way better in person.

Toadroller Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Grrr. Your timing could be a little better.
rickrock999 Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Nice guitar, too bad it is San Francisco. I live in L.A. which is just not a Hamer town. There are never any USA's available locally here. In SF there are at least 5 for sale that I like. I hate paying an extra $200 or so in taxes and shipping every time I buy a guitar. I need to roadtrip up north for some guitar shopping. 🚗

Eli Posted January 26, 2021 Author Posted January 26, 2021 And, SF maybe is more of a Hamer town than LA. We even have a Hamerton Ave!
bubs_42 Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Even though I have Shishkov #0070, I would still love to have another Newport. IMHO the best Hamer.

rickrock999 Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Just saw that the seller has a special deal for HFC so that is cool, but for guitars that are not listed here, the tax and shipping often dissuades me.

Right, plus the fees (basic, plus their 'bump') that keep creeping up makes it not as great for the seller as well. Reverb and eBay do their job in absentia of trust and accountability on buyer's and seller's parts. It's nice to be part of a community of trust and respect that allows for that not to be an issue here.

Eli Posted January 30, 2021 Author Posted January 30, 2021 BUMP! Make an offer, ask me to take out the 'trons at a discount. I'll throw the Phat Cats in the case (in that case) for a minor amount... ...if you want.

Seriously, anyone who is considering this guitar, the filtertron style goes amazingly well with the Newoport, it really transformed mine. @Bubs42 almost seven years since you sold that to me, unbelievable!!

One day i'll get another one without, but without a bigsby. The Newport and the SuperPro are some of Hamers best work.

That's what you told me when I 1st started hanging around here. I'll never be able to say THANK YOU enough. But it looks like Orange Sparky is going to be going back home soon. I think she will be happier there.
bubs_42 Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 I've thought really hard about getting a Natural one without a Bigsby. Simplistic, understated, rock machine.
Eli Posted February 5, 2021 Author Posted February 5, 2021 BUMP for Friday! Makes offers, accusations, etc...
