Got to he Schwinn red.

The original was black not white before he painted over it so I don’t know what people are doing

Guess everyone has their way of doing it.

Jman3302 well...

@@lukeabrahamsen-collins808 I guess I was thinking backwards on how to paint it. Then again, I see someone buying the red one and getting just black and white electrical tape to "make a cheap version" as well.

Zomby Woof I have to say, ‘fat as the proverbial’ was what got me🤣

Lmao. You win

I still do it!

Yes, dinamite!

He must have been eating Shredding Wheat 🤟

Well he's not quite a shredder yet...but he's getting dangerously close. His playing's a lot more fiery than the gentle bluesy / jazzy noodling he used to do.

Yes that would be great.

I bought an EVH 5150 Series in army green last month.Fretwork was junk.Neck had a slight twist.I think i just got a lemon from what i hear.I just got one of the new Kramers the other day.The pewter grey one.Love it!!!

@@rca3rd Fender seems to be having some real problems with their Indonesian made guitars these days. Hopefully they get their issues squared away, because some of those Indonesian guitars of theirs are amazing. I have an Indonesian made Squier Jazz Bass and its the best bass I've ever owned. Its even got flame in the maple neck!

@@bucknasty69 Flamed maple!Nice!Yeah,this Kramer was made in Indonesia and is amazing!Not sure who is making them.Gibson owns them.The EVH was out of the Fender Mexican factory.It was junk.Three more EVH Mexicans have come in to the shop and they are junk as well.That is sad because i have many Fender MIM gutars and basses that are amazing.

Same here. I live in NJ so chances of owning one were high. Still got mine too

I still have my Barletta II. It's an '85

I had an 86 Pacer in that superrr cool greenish grey blue. I think it was called slate or something like that. The bridge pickup was starting to go and at the time I was dumb, I figured selling it to get a trusty tele was the better option. Too this day thats the one guitar I want back.

Mine too. A red Striker 400.

Still have my original 83 floyd rose signature model! Still plays like a dream.

You are definitely not the only one..:) long live the king of swing

Amen

I honnor your Kramer and I honnor your mullet.

I still have my Striker 100ST with a chrome Floyd Rose II and hardware and a black volume knob and pickup. Poor thing has been thru alot - banged into walls and doors, accidentally dropped (only once from a broken strap), etc. A little while back I had the bridge dowled and reset, the neck dowled and reset, the action lowered, and the volume pot and input jack replaced. More recently I had the first 5 frets replaced, the other frets redressed and a final set-up all done by a professional luthier I happen to know. I was briefly considering having it cleaned up and repainted, but decided against it. I guess you could say I have a strong attachment to the guitar.

I still have my Striker 600ST. Worst guitar I ever loved.

Ditto on the 100ST and the mullet 🤣

Yeah that's right why does chappers shredding sound uninspired

"F spaced" humbuckers are unnecessary. Even the Fender Tom Delonge Strat used Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge, but using the regular, not f-spaced (SD don't make them, but DiMarzio does) humbuckers, just like some of the Strats and Teles they make now with the narrower spaced SDs and some others.

@@michaelcarey9359 As to whether F-spaced humbuckers are necessary I do not have the expertise to say. Seymour Duncan do make F-spaced humbuckers, they call them Trembuckers. John Suhr makes his humbuckers in Gibson and F-spaced specs as does Tim at Bare Knuckle.

YES!

Good idea

Reed Tard I can agree

@Reed Tard what music do you listen to?

@@ivorharden stuff thats just as shitty as everyone else.

It was awful as always.

I liked it and preferred it to Rob's.

@@adiohead I must agree. Rob's didn't fit as well. Lee sounded awesome.

I thought they were both awful

@@brianfoster4493 Why are you here then. No need for that negativity here.

Richie Sambora also put Kramer on map

Puttin mine in the booth for a neon yellow job soon ;)

They did go loud and crazy near the end, to an extent. But yes, it's easy to find an 80's Kramer in black but there are fewer brightly colored ones available. But this is likely true for most guitar makers.

Graphics would be cool

The pacer comes in tiger stripe

I was a teenager in the 80s..and I really don't remember them selling much other than black, candy red, white, blue and some special ones that had airbrushed graphics for an upcharge. (lefties were REALLY limited) BC Rich was one that had the dayglo shit. Many of the rock star players had crazy color stuff but those were custom jobs.

Most kids here have no idea about any of that.....sad.

Relevant to the video and especially about Kramer guitars! 😧

@@jjbast You're a little ray of sunshine aren't you.

@@adiohead As you are full of pertinent information.

@@jjbast Thank you, I agree.

I have an original '86 Baretta in flip-flop pink and rosewood board & reverse zebra. Pointy but same sized logo. in '87 they changed to logo to the decreasing sized one. I also have a Baretta II in flip-flop blue with the later logo on it. Unfortunately it's a mutt with an added single coil sized humbucker added to the neck (and the bridge swapped to a DiMarzio.. WHY!!?!) but it sounds good..

Those mid 00's MusicYo models are increasing in price everyday. The mid 00's Pacer Imperial and Baretta (not the 84 that was made in korea and assembled in America)were actually made at the Nashville Gibson factory. They should release some more higher end USA models.

AquaCentauri I have a Jersey Star from 2004 that was built at the Nashville plant. To be honest the quality of mine was not good at all. Gibson paid for it to be fixed by a local luthier because when I finally managed to get some to listen there the JS was out of production. The rework on my guitar was extensive literally the only areas not touched was the face of the head stock and the fretboard. Everything else paint included needed work. It was a very long road to get the work done but now it’s a totally different guitar. Tone, playability, looks and more. Yes it still looks like a standard JS but the work done has completely transformed it. The JS is a really versatile guitar with lots of tones. I just hope the quality control has improved.

@@blitzedST The Musicyo JS was MIK and assembled in USA, you can go on the WayBackMachine and look at the Spec sheets for all the MusicYo guitars. The only ones made in Nashville were the 85 Baretta reissue and the 83 Pacer Imperial reissue.

AquaCentauri built=assembled. Fully made would mean all processes. You are right to a point there were also some 1984’s that were ‘made’ in USA too. The fact that the semi raw CNC machined wooden components (neck and body) were made overseas is only marginally different to how things were done from 1986 onwards aka the ESP era. All the electronics were made in USA and the hardware is German made Floyd Rose and Schaller. I honestly could not care less where the neck and body were made. I know some people have a big issue with where something is made but honestly IF it’s a well made quality product should we care? As long as there are no moral issues. Even though the music yo era USA range was a mixture of USA paint, finish, final assembly and quality control and some overseas components they did turn out some really good stuff I guess I was just unlucky to get one so bad, it happens. You would think though that they would have had tighter quality control of the parts prior to paint and assembly when those components arrived in Nashville. As for the fully made USA Baretta 1985’s they were originally done by Hill Guitars I seem to remember if my memory serves? Sadly the quality went down bank and music yo had to sell off a lot of stock as B grade. I understand that the contract for building those parts was then given to another subcontractor. The Pacer imperial reissues were USA guitars but sadly they did not have a long run. I’m not sure how that all ended, heard numerous rumours but every now and then you see NOS Pacer reissue parts pop up on eBay. I imagine that supply of unbuilt guitar parts must be close to running out unless of course it already has. I have had a look at the new stuff for NAMM 2020 and it looks interesting but as I said before I just hope that they have sorted out the quality issues they were having. I have made the decision to not buy anymore though for no other reason than I have what I like and need so I’m good. It’s amps I’m looking for now and then I’m done gear wise and I can get back to writing and recording. Hope you like the new range of guitars 👍

Interesting. I just received mine yesterday. ESP neck came to mind. However I like it better than my old esp (forget the model) so neck might be slightly different- definitely narrow though compared to my two Ibanez rgs and even my old Kramer 80s hot pink f-1000

..and Kline is still painting bodies. :) I have an '86.. Will never let that guitar go..

Well, I think Charvel/Jackson was the main innovator of superstrats, but Kramer made great guitars no doubt

What riff was that?

Yeah, superstrats and Ibanez were quite a bit more popular in the states than the classics for a while, at least until Slash brought Les Pauls back into fashion, and grunge hit with Jazzmasters etc.,

Yep, they screwed it up by investing in their lifestyles as opposed to the company. But, my '84-85 Baretta body (ser. #D00xx) w/ Jackson Custom neck is going nowhere 'til after I die. It's in my will that it Doesn't get sold and stays in the family until someone else learns to play. Hopefully that'll be me reincarnated. Wouldn't that be fun!!

I just bought the same Orange Crush model as in the video & they have removed the push/pull knob on the new ones without really telling anyone. I have the older one in Vintage White from 2013/ 2015 & it does have that push pull knob. Also, the older ones are made in Korea & these new models in Indonesia. Finally, the new ones do not have Seymour Duncan stamped on the pups like the older ones (which I think greatly takes away from the aesthetic.) I feel they really cut corners on the newer ones a bit, but the the sheer awesomeness of the metallic sparkle orange makes up for it as it is simply too beautiful to complain about. It is painted like an automobile. Don't get me wrong though it does still shred as hard as the older ones.

Yeah, every time you need to unlock the locking nut the strings tune themselves, then you just lock it again, no hassle. That’s genius.

And rock is dead

Long live rock, be it dead or alive - Roger Daltry

this is some old man nonsense

Most of rock has been politically correct for the era in which it existed. The definition of politically correct just changes over generations, moving the line.

What does that mean, you think it was good when they were committing statutory r--- on underage fans? You think that needs to keep happening?

They've been selling out literally days within coming in stock. It's really annoying!

That's the one I have.

yeah they have the polka dot Nightswan.....

probably rlly good, a decent pickup is a decent piclup

*by-product

That neck is made with the "Claw" inlays from Kramers past..they are the top of the line necks then and possibly now..I have had 2 89' Kramers that had these "Claw" inlaid necks..super thin with a small "D" shape..most comfortable necks I have ever owned or played.

What is the weight on those SM-1s? I don't see it listed on any retailers' sites.

JG Music Commenting bc I wanna know too!
