bubs_42 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamerhead Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I'd flip that baby over and play country Hendrix on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topekatj Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burningyen Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Amazing how 9 years after Hamer got shut down we're still discovering new one-offs. Shame this one is a lefty, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0054 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 P90 with Bigsby is pretty awesome! No matter how I try to identify as a lefty, reality busts that to smithereeens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 9 hours ago, topekatj said: 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!

Gabe Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Moreover, 1999 was the first year of production of Hamer Newport’s. Gabe 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
