Kramer Imperial S404

Probably came off of Korea (U.S. = KRAMER ), handle asymmetric 24f jumbo quite late and screwed, QuadRail 2 (to be transferred to the SD-TB4), Volume Tone (w / split) and 3-way switch. Alder body very heavy and cumbersome (otherwise it should not take this model!)

UTILIZATION

This guitar is the quality of its handle and the quality of alder used for the body, its kill (sissi, finally, if so ...) provided to transfer the two QuadRails (way too common in "Sumo" even Pantheriens not).
As it is ridiculously cheap it is a basic dream that leaves quite a budget customization!

SOUNDS

In fact if you stick to 'real' microphones and you have magic fingers (yes Mrs!) Who can cry, scream, laugh at the chips and fill the atmosphere "to adopt zztop PANTHERA" everything is possible, except Start sounds. Seen the size and weight of the beast you will either develop a middle killer or die in a body cast in agony because it is not at 24.75 "on Gibson," but the 25.5 "on KRAMER. "
That is said, is a weapon of Biker Barraqué (we listen before I get angry, but there will still be the case after ....) no teen in McDonald's bloated because we'll have to sit up straight with the thing (if you know the Kramer model is 20% on all criteria, must assume!).

OVERALL OPINION

I customized the thing 5 years ago (bare wood and then passed to the oil, 2 SD-TB4, tailpiece SCHALLER heavier with fine-tuners, personal rewiring) and the conclusion is obvious: the scratch n ' there is nowhere She also holds the Dropped-C-Tuning on a pitch of 25.5 (wwouais: 2 tone + down a killer I tell you), the couple handle screwed on alder body ensures the clarity and attack and if your fingers and shoulders have already endured all the torments of hell before we get there you can REALLY ALL PLAY!
Conclusion: the beast wins (you do not have to change everything at once, allow yourself time to access the maturity of a true JackDaniels!), Even tamed it still dragging a trail of bloody victims .. . but I get carried away, I get carried away ....
So if your favorite book is the method of Bossa Nova Marcel DADI drop you do not deserve and you may even peter you back and both arms and remain disabled for life ... (Eh, do not, I would have rather told)
