Newport
The Original Newport
The original Newport is fitted with
Phat Cat single coils which were the
result of a collaboration with Seymour Duncan. Conceived
as a crossover guitar in 1999, the
spruce-topped Newport was the
first guitar to receive a perfect
score in a Guitar Player magazine
review. Since then we’ve been busy
configuring the Newport in different
ways—adding binding, carved backs,
custom inlays and experimenting
with alternative pickup choices.
Shown here is a wonderful custom
example. Notice how the highly figured top and layered binding contrasts against the stark ebony fingerboard with its single inlay signature.
