For Sale - '05 Newport Korina


Recommended Posts

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.

That‘s a very nice guitar. I wonder, I haven‘t seen this thread earlier. Newports are just great!

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.

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...
