One of my favorites of Eddie’s. I made one about 15 years ago, because I wanted to build a striped guitar, but everyone was doing the Frankie and 5150. I didn’t have any good pictures of the back of the guitar at the time, so mine is a bit off on the back, but the front of the body and headstock are dead on. I have thought of redoing it since I have good pictures of the back now, but I actually like it as it is…not exact on the back, but still a bad mutha. Yours is beautiful!

Love it. I built a Frankenstrat a few years back. Miss you Eddie!

Love it! Personally I don't like the relic look as much as many do. To me its like restoring a car, then adding dents and rust afterwards. To each his own, great job!

Amazing! Very clean and tight! Beautiful build. 🙌🏻

Man the prep work takes a lot of patience but pays off looks great! Inspiring to play for sure!!

i want my drag car to sound like the drum intro

What a great build! Super fun to watch man, good job y'all!

Having stripped one of my Strats down to the bare, I know how long it took you. The layers of lacquer alone are no easy task. I will have to find the vid showing off it's tone and what you installed for a pickup. Nice work

Fantastic job!!!

Beautiful work! Nicely done. 👍

Awesome Kramer man!!!!

Simply awesome!

Great build! Thanks for sharing!👍

Love it man! Great job. 👍

Absolutely brilliant

Wow it came out beautiful man 🤟

What you should have said is "this is my already modified Kramer Baretta Special. A Special does not have a Floyd Rose or locking nut.

Amazing to see, great work! Great watch ❤

Awesome

Extremely Kool 🤘❤️‍🔥🤩

Totally cool, I just love it Maximum effort.

So friggin awesome!!!!! Can’t wait for the first song post. It’s gonna RIP

It’s beautiful ❤

Very Nice!

awesome job. ive seen many in my area. Your paint rocks.

Had to sub because of this beauty. Thanks for building this.

Very nice work Brother 👍..

My friend you own just a Kramer Berretta the special is what I own and it’s the budget model without the Floyd and locking nut which some people like me prefer. I’ve got a Jackson Floyd and it’s wicked and I’ve heard insane things about these Kramers so hope you’ve enjoyed it!

i come here from instagram! nice video!!

Awesome Replica

I think you could have taped it off to where you could spray white stripes. It was already red. My Krammer is going to white. I can tape it off and spay red. I think I should get real automotive red and use some hardener?

😍😍😍

You should add the extra black stripes that he adds around 85!

Interesting that the springs in the tremolo block go from the claw to the centre and not to the corresponding opposite holes. I’ve never tried that. Does it make a difference. 6:19.

Long live The King!!!!!

I had the 2006 music yo 84 Beretta with the red body in the giant hockey stick head stock. The body was alder but when I took the Floyd out to upgrade the block this and that I noticed there is layers of wood glued on top of each other like they used to do the old plywood Kramer strikers. I had read on forums for years where a couple of guys said that they noticed that they're 84 were several pieces glued on top of each other. But I still want to get the 85 reissue from 06 it had all the upgrade parts on it already. Really hard to tell what's underneath these paint jobs anymore

I did a project with my Kramer Baretta Special. Problem is the Baretta Special is mahogany and Eddie's guitar was swamp ash. Also, the necks are cheesy on the Baretta special and have really bad fretwork. Good luck!

What kind of tape did you use? Masking tape? Painters tape? How did you paint the black stripes on it?

Many folk rave about the 5150, but for me the Hot for Teacher / 1984 was my favourite. The red seems darker too than the 5150 orange/ red. great video.

How long did u wait between coats?

there's nothing like a Kramer neck.

So much hard work.......mines being held by staples,bolts& zip ties& duct tape.

The BEST guitar Eddie made.

Suck an Iconic Guitar! I'm doing the Floyd swap on my Baretta Special myself but mines the Candy Blue version but yours looks so cool

Finding this video, honestly made my day. Thank you for making this.

Hi, I've just watched your video and the guitar looks awesome but I would've liked to seen the part where u applied the tape. It went from white to red with the tape already on and seen how u took the time to show u peeling off the tape. I imagine putting the tape on would have been tricky. I've got a cheap black guitar with no scratchplate /pick guard and 2 humbuckers that I turned into a Franky with just some yellow tape. It's no EVH but it looks pretty good so now that guitar gets played more, which is a good thing but tapeing it up was not as easy as I first thought so I watched your video to see how u would've gone about it. As I said yours turned out really well, cheers. 🎸🖤

Amazing work ! I have to try this one day Little question, where did you get the same paint but for wall like at 6:47 ?

Add more springs to the back block. Eddy had them loaded up for live uses.

Kinda hard to get noticed when you live in the shade of the giant tree that was EVH, but AVH is a gad @ss drummer.

looks awesome, what was the total cost for parts and the guitar itself?

Only thing I'm gonna do is clear coat the heck outta it level sand it and buff the heck outta it

Would you sell that machine?

Butt How does it sound

how did you get the black stripe? i missed that or sometihng?

Could have gone with the Original FR while you were at it.

What is that Maple or mahogany body

Did you clear coat it?

Talk about making it your own...

Does paint in the cavity prevent feedback ?

Kramer baretta?

最初からbgmがうるさい

😂😂😂

Too bad you didn't show putting the tape ON instead of taking it off.

Jeez not even any grain filler...

Your dad never taught you to spray paint. Long smooth paths...

Why would anyone destroy a beautiful KRAMER guitar like that. C,Mon the EVH thing is so overrated and overdone.. just hope it was a cheap Gibson/Kramer reissue and not a original 80 piece...

Lotsa work just to play a van Halen song'
