    My brother had one of those in baby pink. Magnificent guitar.

      How expensive is this car?

        i think the point is, a set of tires is generally more expensive than a pack of strings [emoji14]

        Or if you're really into the hobby, it's easy enough to burn through an entire set of brake pads in a day at the track

          Back in the day, I wanted this:

          This Kramer Baretta was made in the USA 1986 or 1987. E-serial number. It plays and sounds great. It comes with the original case.

          HM strat was just a substitute!

          Back in the 80's everyone wanted that guitar. That guitar and Christina Applegate.

            The style of the 80s was such that many objects that make an attempt to be a "throwback" to the era end up looking more like caricatures of the decade. That guitar is no exception, regardless of how faithful of a recreation it is.

              [emoji38] so true (assuming you're referring to the Kramer)

                  PS I was too young in the 80s but ESP and Ibanez were THE shiznit in the 90s. ESP and Ibanez were really the only brands I'd consider. Now ESP has really screwed itself in pricing and going all-out on crazy tops. Ibanez is now the only brand I consider.

                    I started playing guitar in 1996... I was a little surprised that I didn't find an ESP catalog from that era when I was cleaning out some stuff from my parents' crawlspace last year. I had GAS before I even knew what GAS was. To this day I still want an ESP GL Serpent, which ironically should do the 80s thing better than the 90s thing.

                      Well, it IS a George Lynch signature, so...

                      I'll always give ESP (and Seymour Duncan) credit for sticking with him through the nineties, when Dokken and Lynch Mob became as unpopular as could be.

                        Back in the day ('87-'88) I was looking at all kinds of models (I had two modded Stratocasters that I brought to every gig), Charvels, Kramers, and decided on a Hamer Chapparal Custom, was the best out of the bunch. Put about 100,000 road miles on it (showcase gigs, cover gigs, etc.), as well as studio recording sessions. Had I known in advance about Hamer's demise, I would have taken a loan out to buy a Hamer Standard, or a Prototype....

                          Fender Japan had some really great guitars back then, including the first humbuckers in a Strat.

                            I'd throw Vintage Kramers and Original Ibanez RG550/770/565/540 Radius & Sabre/P540II on the above list as well.

                                I had an SGE Mach 2 for years, as well as an X15. What a crazy color scheme that is!
