Guitar made in the United States, representing the culmination of the mind Kramer
Guitar appeared to us quite expensive catalog 1987 o'rdre the current Euro 1300
She disappeared in 1988 when the factory NEPTUNE (New Jersey) has closed its doors.
The handle contains 24 frets, rosewood with 360 key words on the head
superstrate configuration typical microphones, 2 single Seymour Duncan and a double dela same brand.
fairly flat handle and ultra fast late nicer than a Jackson Soloist to play fast.
1 volume, 1 tone, 5-way switch.
Gives the guitar for its price and represents the culmination of years of collaboration with Van Halen, Richie Sambora ...
pink floyd 2 finally rid of adjustment problem, we go the ropes without cutting a zero positon.
This guitar is very easy and fun, one quickly forgets its price.

USE

Thin body (mahogany) so carved sword very end, it makes you forget the weight of beretta (his ancestors), ergonomics is at the top, the handle is ideal for highly technical solo, he even please the not too good guitarist thanks to its great ease.
The guitar is less typical metal than its competitors of the time in terms of sound, timbre is sublime in clean but it still mons grain that stratocaster fender steve ray vaughan. When connecting a turbo Rat on with background saturation it comes quickly to take to Van Halen himself. Where a problem, I sui me vré many group because of my tendency to endless solos ... so no full marks!

SOUNDS

Quality and configuration of microphones used to navigate all styles, even jazz. The guitar has also finished his career in a jazz-fusion guitarist area where little play ten minutes without supporting the verse chorus format. Anyway, his chosen field: sounds killer who knocks, ie the big distortion. She never blows unabated, the strings do not break. It can also play rhythm and solos Hendrix style, where fine blade with a slight chorus clear spn. So being very good at toous versatlie and styles, I would put the maximum score.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I had the stupidity to sell this guitar in 2002 to 600 euros pensnat make a deal, now I see on ebay that rare Neptune 360 ​​and 860 in sales is trading at around 1000 or 2000 euros. L'argus is 800. I was a little reratte this guitar because I have never found the guitar as well over. I swapped for Robert Cray Stratocaster and it is true that it is ideal for blues, but when we want to change style, what to do? buy 2, 3 guitars ... That's what this is Kramer guitar in a 3.4, only the modern aesthetic is tired old like me.
