Lloyd H. Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Public offering, my Newport Korina with original Hamer hard shell case. I bought it NOS in 2014. I switched out the pin string roller bar for a string through to make string changes easier. It's in excellent condition, minty. I can't imagine one like this will come along again in the foreseeable future, but who can say? Anyway, here it is. $2500 firm. I'm using imgur to post pics, let me know if you're not able to see them. Edited July 15, 2022 by Lloyd H. Added image 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pirateflynn Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I’ve owned five Newport over the years. Overall they are probably my favorite Hamer. I currently have a Korina Newport with a Bigsby just like this one and it is an amazing guitar. I’d say the all Korina has most of the resonance of the spruce/mahogany model with a bit more authority. It’s maybe a little warmer than a maple top version. And so nice looking. Anybody interested in, or even curious about, a mid sized hollow body guitar should consider this baby. Don’t worry if you’re not a Bigsby guy. You don’t have to use it. Just spin the arm outta the way and go for it. Otherwise get your shimmer on. A great value on a killer guitar. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soli'd Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Chevron pattern top created by cutting the f-holes parallel to the grain- so cool; I sure miss Hamer USA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthes Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I thought this one was sold at least 3 times based on the "PM Sent!" messages. I mean, do people just send you a PM to compliment your photo skills? This is a badassed guitar, people. I always wanted one of these, but with Ivoroid binding, but this is such a classic look... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
