    Meh.
    Just wanted to see what the 2nd batch of polka dot nightswans look like. They had some finish issues with the original batch.

    Anything dimebag Darryl would be cool at the Dean or Washburn booths.

    Thanks!

    Finally made it to Ohio for my Christmas with Gram and the folks. My mom found some guy on "etsy" to make me a key ring holder. Thought it was pretty cool.

    I was, spent very limited time there.
    I'm on there currently though.
    Sold my 81 Pacer classic graphics to a guy on there.
    And the only other legit Kramer I have currently is an 81/82 Voyager. Both are strat heads.

    And 3 of the reissue Gibson Kramers posted a page back or so.

    I was on there consistently from 2007-2010 ish

    missed those somehow. Pacer imperials have always been one of my favorite guitars.

    I started playing on one of the music-yo era Kramers and eventually had a F3000 and a pacer deluxe. Also bought one of the Gary Kramer Baretta remakes when they first came out.

    F3000 are nice. Couple music yo kramer up on reverb. There's a ESP M-1 or 2 with and ESP banana neck as well. Pretty sweet.

    I liked the F3000 better than its American brother (pacer deluxe). Had it setup with EMGs (Reb Beach style) and it played like a dream. I regret selling that one more than any guitar I sold.

    I flipped guitars in high school and college, so I have had my hands on quite a few.

    I'll try and get you the info.
    I guess "Etsy" is a site where people make this stuff homemade. I didn't know that.

    Looks killer. What pickup do you have in there?

    Have you used / are you using the bournes low friction pots?

    those pots are sweet! Almost need a little more friction though, I have one on every guitar I have built and they roll back with no effort.

    I need to give those boutique pickup companies a shot. I don’t branch out much from Seymour Duncan.

    My last build has a JB/JB set from a Jackson king v, and those underwound JBs for the neck position absolutely scream and clean up tremendously when split with the volume rolled off.

    I almost enjoy building them more than I enjoy playing them!

    this is the one I was just referring to. Has a southeast guitars body (he used to make some of the best Kramer based bodies out there) and a warmoth neck (10-14 compound radius perfectly fits the gotoh Floyd rose). This body was based on the Kramer Richie Sambora signature, just without the middle humbucker.

    JB/JB pickups that each have their own coil tap (south coil for the bridge and north coil for the neck).
