Jim Fairbairn Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 I recall seeing a photo showing the routed interior of a Newport before the top was installed. Could someone direct me to that photo? Thanks.
Jim Fairbairn Posted February 21, 2022 Author Posted February 21, 2022 cmatthes, thanks for the fast reply.
mirrorimij Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 The original incarnation was a solid island in the bridge/tailpiece area.

I've yet to see a pic of the full-length block that was in a few oddballs like the Newport 90.
veatch Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 I think the N90 is hollow behind the bridge, but I could be wrong....
gorch Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 I think it is time to say that the Newport is a wonderful guitar.
beezerboy Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 wish I could "like" gorch's post a hundred times. great guitars

soli'd Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 I would think the bumps on the side of the island are for the tailpiece posts or bigsby screws, seem like they'd be moved closer to the bridge P/U location on a N90 due to the wraptail?
veatch Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Yes... near the front of the "pool" I thought there was a pic of the N90 chamber out there as well...
Travis Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Well…. Whoever on here has a Newport 90; you can send it over to me and I’ll X-ray it. Then we’ll know for sure. Should only take me a couple of weeks to get that done for you…. 😜
veatch Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Or we could just grab a beer next time I'm heading through in route to MN Won't answer the question but beer is good, too.

from my fingers Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 Mine dosn't have the Hamer mark inside, I remember reading on here those were some of the first ones made, so it would be a solid block?
