From a smoke free home, no measurable fret wear, no dings/scratches, etc. Looks & plays like new. Just polished, re-strung with 10-46's, and it's Gig Ready.
This beautiful lightweight USA crafted semi-hollow Hamer has a SOLID Carved Sitka Spruce top and the body is chambered Honduran Mahogany, as is the neck. Pickups are Seymour Duncan’s most vintage Phat Cat P-90s, for a very authentic vintage tone & The Indian Rosewood fingerboard has 22 medium jumbo frets which have VERY minimal grooving- almost none actually, and the fingerboard is a player friendly 14” radius. Has Hamer’s lovely grained Italian Ivoroid body binding, neck & headstock are bound, has Hamer’s custom fitted Bigsby, Graphtec nut and Hamer’s legendary build quality. Overall condition is near mint and she is beautifully setup.
The Phat Cat pickups fit into a humbucker rout, so you can easily experiment with different pickups.
Hamer invented Boutique Guitars and the Newport is perhaps the finest semi-hollow body guitar yet. Consider what it'd cost to have Gibson or other top builders to duplicate these specs!!! Grab this beauty & make some Music!
* Strap buttons are Grover Rotomatics with Imperial buttons
* Bigsby vibrato installed with Hamer's own custom made leveling underside plate.
A truly "fine" boutique instrument, in remarkably fine condition, from the guys that began the boutique Guitar craze way back in the 70's, 10 years before any other.
