The Mentalist Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I would give my right arm for a Sambora model Kramer 'Jersey Star'. MusicYo sell them but unfortunately being left handed, my choices are somewhat limited. Hell, I would give anything for a left handed Kramer. Anyone have any chinese sources where I can get one made?

catchthecat Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Man, I love this place. That is one sexy strat. US or Mexican? Its a custom job I had built. Neck is off an old mexistrat I used to have, and loved the feel so I kept it. I bought a beat up 70s US body and restored it to the Clapton vintage cream white. Installed a Lace gold in the front and red at the bridge. That's a Fender Noiseless Vintage Single Coil in the middle. Altogether it is quiet as a church mouse,....until cranked...then it screams.

2005SUBMARINER Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 i had a mex strat , sounds just as nice as the usa models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchthecat Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) i had a mex strat , sounds just as nice as the usa models Nice EVH solo there. I guess my luv for the strat dates me back a bit. I do the old 60s surf sound or blues... With a few pedals. my whammy, and some reverb I can recreate the 60s surf wang or jump to a distorted crunch. I guess I'm like all the old rockers though, I'm in my acoustic stage of life and play mostly fignerstyle...

stilty Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Back in the day, the BIG hair days, my main was a Kramer Focus 6000 with an original Floyd Rose, not the cheap licenced out crap that flooded the market later on. I eventually moved up to a Black Les Paul custom. Still have them both as well as a Fender Jazz bass. I haven't played in years, and it is kind of a shame to let such nice instruments go unused. I have a takamine acoustic that I pull out once in a while just to strum a few chords. I'm sure all those that play have heard of this guy. Check him out on youtube. He is damn amazing! AND 7.6 MILLION VIEWS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWATCH Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Hey guys, thanks for all the info. Hope I didn't start a guitar plague here. I see we've got lots of musicians on the board, maybe we could start an online band. Just kidding. Anyway, I ordered a Gibson Les Paul Supreme from DHgate yesterday, will post review after I get it. I'm not that good a guitar player to be able to tell what's up with a rep guitar, but I have two or three buddies who are awesome guitarists, and I will have them give the real review. I figure in a worst case scenario, it'll look pretty good next to my only other guitar, a 1964 Fender Jazzmaster (one owner, refinished to natural wood, re-fretted, re-chromed, new pickguard).

FWATCH Posted October 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Here's a pic from the website, I'm not expecting to receive the guitar for about another week, I guess. This is my first venture into the rep guitar trade, lots of unknowns, and of course, the possibility of not receiving anything at all, but what the heck, life itself is a crapshoot.

Brightight Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 As a guitar repairer/restorer I've had a few of these Chinese rep 'Gibsons' brought to me for repair, a 335 is in the workshop at this very minute with a broken neck. Broken at the scarf joint...... sorry, scarf joint on a Gibbo? I don't think so. This is the problem, to me it is clearly a fake for about 100 reasons, to the owner it is a genuine 335. He bought it from some scammer who made a tidy profit. Do I tell him? Had a guy with a Les Paul he'd had for ten years, his pride and joy, but obviously was an Epi that someone had redone the headstock with a Gibson pearl logo and decals. Don't get me wrong, the Epi LP wth a pair of Bareknuckle pick ups on (if you haven't heard of them, you should) is a cracking guitar, but a Gibson it isn't. The woods are not the same and the construction is slightly different. For cheap guitars, they're cheap guitars. Nothing more. Yes the Chinese currently produce very good low end guitars but they have a ways to go. Fwatch, a 64 Jag refinished to natural? Rechromed? You make me weep.................... I spend a good number of my waking hours rectifying abuse like that!! Wash your mouth out with soap and have that poor old guitar restored with a proper nitro finish and some aged parts. Incidentally, the watch to wear with a Strat is a Breitling. Wonderful resonance and sustain. With a Les Paul you need something lighter and brighter.

2005SUBMARINER Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 (edited) have any used ibanez or jackson pick ups in the shop ? or maybe a tonezone laying around ? Edited October 26, 2007 by 2005SUBMARINER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightight Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 have any used ibanez or jackson pick ups in the shop ? or maybe a tonezone laying around ? Sorry I don't keep crap lying around (joking) Like I say, take a look at Bareknuckles (www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk). Listen to the clips on the website. I had someone bring a pair of BK RifRaffs to me about three or four years ago to be fitted into an Epi SG. I had a quiet chuckle behind my hand at the money she was wasting, but when I fitted them and plugged it in............wow! The Best SG I'd heard, knocked spots off my '67 with PAFs. I phoned Tim who owns Bareknuckle, was convinced and ordered a set of his '54 Replica Strat pickups ("Apache") for a 54 replica I was building. I was blown away. This guy knows his craft. Check out the reviews on Harmony Central if in doubt. Give the man a call, tell him the guitar you have and the music you play, he'll tell you if you need a standard BK or a custom wind. I'm now a BK dealer (in the UK). Brother I am a born again Bareknuckle!! Hallelujah, I have found the holy source of tone!! Would not use anything else now.
