    Re: 80's fan boys get in here

    I'll be okay with my MIJ Jackson DXMG.

      I'll take that as a compliment. Also, you are not exactly wrong - stay tuned.

        plus guitars are a cheaper (and more wife-friendly) hobby than cars, or even worse ehmmm the other gender.

          There were no Fenders I desired in the 80s. It was all ESP, BC Rich, Jackson, Charvel...

And in that sense I feel like he's right. Although I am sure that quality wise they were top notch too. Imagine Gibson coming out with a pointy V with, Idunno, evertune bridge and fishmans and call it the Djenting V.. That assessment of mine might be wrong though..:/

              I had one... but wasn't a fan.

              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.

                I just think they seemed to miss the boat on what they were hoping to achieve.

                While I do have a few of their products (almost to my own surprise), like the comfort of the strat shape in general, and have a preference for hss guitars, if I had the money at the time I really doubt I would have been inclined to buy one ahead of competing manufacturers.

                Now I definitely wouldn't unless I came across one that was the absolute dog's bollocks - something that I highly doubt. It also wouldn't be pink. [emoji16]


                (I have no problem with others having different opinions. If not what would be the fun?)

                    I have an 82 'The Strat' which is quite a different guitar than the HM Strat above. But it was the first guitar to just have 'Strat' on the headstock.

                          True dat!! You don't normally blow as much up on a Saturday night gig as a Saturday night track day! Was a rabid Pontiac fan for years had stuff most have never seen out of a book. Engines like 421 and 455SD, RA II, III and IV stuff plus 455 HO stuff. Broke the right side T Top out of my 1977 SE TA with a hybrid HO SD 455 on a 7000 RPM shift one night when it twisted the body so bad---. Did subframe connectors soon afterward! Guy named Jim Butler bought me out in the late 80's out of Tennessee after I went through a divorce and remarried. I chose to play music over running the cars. Decision also likely kept me out of a lot of trouble. Judges tend to get a little testy when you come before them on running 169 in a 55 zone just sayin---.

                              Actually, no, it is a rare color called Sapphire Blue. It is a deeper blue with very small gold metal flake. Only a handful were made in this color.

                                For '80s rock, though to beat my Peavey Vandenberg. 24 frets, 24.75" scale, sculpted access to upper frets, downtuned Eb: rock machine.
