    Sending virtual hug *-*
    Srry bout your kramer man.

    Heat wave here.
    All guitars moved into the house. I have a cooler in the garage but no way theyre staying out there.

    Guess which one is my favorite to grab and carry out to the 100amp.....
    Tunes so freakin easy and stays there the longest.
    Drop d takes like 30secs without hardly affecting any of the other strings.
    Love this thing!

    Thats how you do it!
    Good job.
    Be nice if your guy would let you quietly hang out and watch while he does his thing but alot of them are superbusy and dont want to take the time....
    Some guys just like to do their work back in the shop with no distractions.
    I get it.

    Every one of these was $300 or less.
    Great players and sound awesome at my level and ability.
    One even came with a bonus blackstar id core 10.

    Screenshot_20200621-074610_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20200621-074454_Gallery.jpg

    Other bonus xtras that came with...
    Brand new fender soft case, REALLY nice gator hard case, korg cable tuner, fender clip on tuner, extra strap, lots of picks, capo.....Im sure Im forgetting something but these are the biggies that I would have had to also buy.

    Just sayin,,,,
    You dont need to drop $600 or more to have a solid player and have fun....

    I dont know anything about the neck, maybe the tech guys can help you out there.
    Not into strats srry.

    But the rest of the mods would cost you big $$$ and are spot on. Guy knows what hes doing.

    Id grab that sight unseen but my collection is done now for the time being.

    Totally feel you.
    Like what you like, no explanation neccesary.

    Dinky- brand new

    Gio- pristine like new COMPLETE electric guitar setup from a guy who thought he wanted to start playing but just didnt get into it...been sitting in his living room since he bought it.

    Aria acoustic- test drove it-
    Vintage.
    From a guy who bought it for his wife who played it very little...been sitting in a closet for 20yrs.
    Excellent condition until I dropped it first night

    RG570- THRASHED
    Know guys that wouldnt even look twice at it.
    Set up and modded by a very knowledgeable lifetime player who also is an automotive tech.
    Accepted my invitation to test drive it.
    Electronics...Dimarzio...action...new strings...$200bucks.
    Had one, know it well.

    Baretta- set up by matic modded w/seymor duncan.
    Nuff said bout that one, sold!

    Actually, I think the story was, only played in church by a little old lady on sundays ;)

    I dont buy crap either.

    I’m the exact opposite. I’ll gladly buy other people’s broken projects or molested guitars. No cares, no guilt. We all may want a new car, but no one really enjoys parking in the far corner of the lot, or running out to clean off bird shit.

    Yep
    Love to have a sg or a les paul or flying v, prs, ltd , etc etc....or some badass awesome top shelf or classic vintage...

    I'll leave them for the pros and throw the extra $800-$1000 at my truck, quad, fishing/hunting equip or.....bills/groceries.

    Too many other expensive hobbies and...bills.
    Bills suck.

    Here's another.
    1983 non tilt Baretta.
    I think this is a guy on my Kramer forums page. He has 2 of the non tilts.

    5 watchers. 1 offer.
    This is the Holy Grail of Kramer guitars.

    The non tilt ESP headstock. It's flat.
    And about 200 ever made.
    This is the guitar Eddie endorsed to start the Kramer revolution.

    I remember this "No bozo's" ad in nearly every music magazine in the mid 80's.

    My fav one was the 2 guys jamming for their girlfriends in a bedroom as Eddie is peeking in the window.
