Re: NGD: 80s Content

Cheers guys.

Been playing the Kramer a bit more today as prep for a band tryout on Wednesday, I'm getting to grips with how 'easy' it plays now. I still want to put more springs on the trem and fit 11s though

I have a Baretta from the same era, it's a 1988 model. Came stock with a JB but when I bought it there was a different pickup in it. That was taken care of and I found an 80's JB for it on eBay. It had a Custom Custom in it for a while too but the JB is right at home. Like you, it's one of my best playing guitars.

Those that talk down about the source of bodies and necks don't know that some of the large boutique builders don't make their own bodies and necks either. The way I see it, raw unfinished material arrived in NJ and left as beautiful guitars. Enjoy it.

This is the 1st guitar I've ever owned or tried that's had a JB in it where I've not wanted to swap it straight out for something else. I've tried JBs in several other guitars, all super strat types, and I've never liked it 1 bit. Not sure what it is with this Kramer that just makes it work somehow.

Well, IMHO...it's probably a JBJ and is seasoned by almost 30 years...def not a standard SD JB. There's a bit of magic in those old ones from the Eighties.

Now you just need to buy the Yeti that i'm building for ultimate hair metal tones. Or you know use the SLO I built for you...

But seriously buy the Yeti or give me that guitar

Re: NGD: 80s Content

I know you do, If i'm correct you appear to have been using it more than the Splawn lately.

Pretty much yeah. The band I use the SLO with plays and gigs more often than the band I use the Splawn with.
