alaskagrown Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 2004 translucent orange USA Hamer Newport in very good condition. Carved hollow mahogany body, spruce top, Seymour Duncan Phat Cat pickups, and Bigsby. Upgrades include a Vibramate and a Reverend SoftSpring. The original spring is included and slips right back in if you want. The Vibramate just slips on the roller bar and Bigsby stop bar. It's non-invasive, comes right off, and it makes string changes a breeze! This guitar sounds wonderful and plays easily. The soft spruce top has a few impressions, only one which is through the finish by the f-hole. The pic looks worse that the reality as no white wood is showing, that is just the sunlight. Frets have some wear but the guitar still plays effortlessly. Comes with OHSC. I picked this up on here from Jakeboy a few months ago and I'm selling for the same reason he did, I'm just not a hollowbody guy. I recently picked up some other gear so something's got to go! $1,500 shipped. No trades, please.
Jakeboy Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 I see you put the Phat Cats back in! People, this is an awesome Newport. Light, resonant, and rocking. The Reverend SoftSpring is an important mod as it makes the Bigsby smooth, easy and lessens the clunkiness. I didn't really get along with the spruce hollow body, but man, I sure reached for this a lot when recording. It sustains forever. Buy without fear. GLWTS.
