A special ordered example from Willcutt Guitars, this Newport is unique in its feature set, with a carved maple top and “Victory” pearl inlay on the ebony fingerboard.\n\nTonewoods include mahogany back, sides and centerblock with a hand-carved maple top, paired with a mahogany neck capped by a bound ebony fretboard. The semi-hollow construction delivers both an immediacy and airy resonance, with the ample midrange warmth of the mahogany balanced by the note attack and clarity of the carved maple top. The Seymour Duncan P90s are hotly wound, delivering plenty of rich midrange, dynamic bark and glassy, cutting roar. This guitar weighs just 7lbs 6oz, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.\n\nThe mahogany neck has a chunky and substantial C-shaped profile carve with generous shoulders in all registers, measuring .890” at the 1st fret and .940” at the 12th. The ebony fretboard features split trapezoid “Victory” pearl inlay with fret-edge binding on the pristine narrow tall fretwire. This guitar plays cleanly up the 24 3\/4“ scale with a straight neck and a responsive, optimally-adjusted truss rod. The stock nut measures a full 1 11\/16” in width. The headstock sport a “Newport”-embossed truss rod cover, and the Schaller Super-Rotomatic tuners turn smoothly and hold accurate pitch.\n\nAll of the electronics function as intended, with the Seymour Duncan P90s wired to the stock harness and governed by Master Volume and Tone knobs with a three-way pickup selector switch. Plastics comprise the original pair of black bonnet knobs and P-90 covers (an additional set of replacement cream pickup covers are also included in the case). Hardware includes the nickel-plated TonePros wraparound tailpiece. The gloss Black finish is framed by cream body binding, and cosmetic wear includes some light scratches and scuffs across the back, and a few additional faint marks on the body as a whole. The smooth gloss finish on the neck profile is flawless.\n\nThe original hardshell case is included, along with the original Custom Order Certificate from Willcutt Guitars, hangtag, and factory paperwork.","brand":"Hamer USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43699728843008,"sku":"836156","price":3499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/products\/medium_4b42f905-2ad6-4f3a-827c-4173dd984694.jpg?v=1751546458","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/2008-hamer-usa-newport-90-willcutt-custom-order-maple-carved-top-ebony-board-coa-case","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
