(in a Lee Iacocca voice) ... "Buy an Audi, Get a Guitar!". ;) I got a chance to play a bunch of different Blueridge models in Gruhn's. Nicely done, but the bling on them always seemed a bit much to me. | ||

But it's all original. More Mosrite photos. Nicely done, Jack! I have one word ... Perfidia. :cool: Pricey, yes. But I deserve it. :) That's also why the FD14 is up for sale. | ||

I usually make fun of people who bring non-O's, but I'd make an exception for that dream machine. If I ever take better pix, I'll use them. But I like yours. I did give you props on the ning site, sorta. | ||

Joined: October 2005 Posts: 4045 Location: Utah | Mark, that's a Newport Pro , not the Echotone. It is smaller than a 335 style. I was looking at the Artist and the Newport, and found several for a very reasonable price on the HamerFanClub. The Artist is a solid body with the top half chambered. The Newport is a more traditional semi-hollow construction but, like the Artist, a lot smaller than the 335. There was a seriously beautiful Artist with a flame maple top that caught my eye, but someone from here beat me to the punch. He has pics up over on the NING side. My girls looked at the 3 natural wood topped acoustics hanging in the music room and decided that "we" don't want another natural top, and "we" have too many black or red guitars, so "we" decided to go for the orange sparkle Newport. It is on the way, hopefully here for this weekend. I'll post pics and a review once I've given it a workout. BTW, Kaki plays several Newports. Hamer really oughta make her an endorsee. Now I'm going to sound just like her, right? | ||
