As it turns out, my only set neck is also my only custom order and one of the last dozen guitars to come out of the New Hartford shop. And... it does have a reversed headstock. Wow... that's really awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanBro Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Thanks to whoever reposted the link on the Facebook Group. I made an impulse purchase of the Newport having had a discussion with Benny about the import charges. UPS haven’t lost it yet and it should arrive tomorrow. this ‘Hamer’ business is very addictive 👍😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at that price, tho. Had to look at the pics to see why that Newport was so cheap, too... 😬 I decided to make the call, there’s a few local luthiers who are good by me. Hopefully it will ok in person 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanBro Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 The Newport arrived today (not bad delivery from the US) and it’s lovely. I’m pleased to say that the neck repair is indeed fine (I know that was a bit of an estimated gamble!), whoever did it clearly knew what they were doing as you can hardly feel or see it. So it all started for me with an XT goldtop and then it rapidly all went downhill from there with US Hamer’s. 😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started with a MIK Cali. Within a month or 2 I have 2 USA Calis to go with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newports are such great guitars I'm glad that one found a home where it will be enjoyed. "it rapidly all went downhill from there with US Hamer’s." That hill can become a slippery slope quickly.

I’d decided that I’d only buy Hamer’s from Europe (but.. that’s all gone now). Your advice and guidance was invaluable, thanks 👍 Unfortunately all those cheap Hamer’s in the US are now easily available 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch your wallet. Well, this is the sixth USA Hamer now. I guess I am the example of how the XT line was supposed to work. I can’t begin to say how much I love them all.
