coffeeroastee Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Still looking for a Newport pro, lmk if anyone has one to sell. Yes I know about the one on reverb that’s been up there forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hbom Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I think, if you think $1700 is too much for a Newport Pro you are about 2 years too late to the party. GLWYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynic Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 The reverb example is also black cherry, ugly a.f. at any price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so few N Ps available that I don't really consider color as part of the equation. Condition? Maple or spruce top? Seths or Phat Cats? Bigsby? Colors pretty much sound the same to me.

Gotcha ..I don’t care it’s worn a bit as long as the frets are good..no bigsby and Seth would be ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalessin Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 @coffeeroastee I was looking at this one, and saw your note above. I'm curious whether there was any reason other than price or colour why you'd ruled it out? https://reverb.com/au/item/38084965-hamer-newport-pro-black-cherry-burst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had had that much cash way back then, I MIGHT have bought one, just in the nicer looking yellow-ish sunburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HamerCustomEr Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I have to agree that the redburst is not the nicest colour out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0054 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 The darkness of the cherry and the lightness of the red, cause it to be and image that both a high and low key image, very difficult to capture with even really good cameras. You can do several manuevers in LAB to make it work, but, it's tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalessin Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 The finish looks OK in this photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hbom Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Had the red one, a sparkle orange, and a black cherry. No difference to my ears with the same pickups installed. Birdseye 12 is different. Sometimes I actually hear colors from that one. 😉 edit: After coffee, Thinking about it, the red one was a bit brighter, ebony board and harp tailpiece probably.
