A friend tipped me off that his friend had a Newport and thought it was interesting. So I told him to send me some pictures next time he had his hands on it.

Beauty! It’s a crying shame they DON’T MAKE THOSE ANY MORE!

Looks like a 1998 S/N.....  That would make it first year New Hartford production? Also, is ‘98 the year the Newport debuted?

2008

P90 with Bigsby is pretty awesome! No matter how I try to identify as a lefty, reality busts that to smithereeens.

Is the 2nd digit of the S/N a 3 or a 5?

Must be an 5 as roughly the serial numbers before 2000 are under 50.000 and from 2000 are above 50.000, and if it would be the 36.000th guitar made by Hamer USA it would have a serial no starting with maybe a 5 (from 1995) or something around that and not an 8 (from 1998).

 

Also my Tally from 2007 (or beginning of 2008) is the 55756th USA Hamer  

So the serial no of this Newport is 856127, the 56127th USA Hamer, made in 2008  

 

Looks like a great guitar!
