Title: New gear day...
Post by: Geetar on April 30, 2009, 02:33:34 AM
Coming soon to a postbox near me... another Kramer Baretta.

This one's a brand new reissue, and was paid for when I laid down my Jacksons at the Dallas Show, and saw the sweetness I'd been crying for - a never-played black one to go with my oversprayed white original.


Any other new 6-strings out there, or is it all keys and over-size bongos for you guys lately :roll: ?

Well, it's my birthday in under a fortnight and this Fender Classic Player 60s Strat is just calling out to me from a nearby music store...  ;)

Most recent purchase was a Godin xtSA back in January.  Wonderful thing which is simultaneously a good quality Canadian electric with a piezo acoustic transducer and Roland guitar synth access - 3 in 1.  I like!  :D

Enjoy your Baretta.  8-)

I took delivery of a Paul Reed Smith SE back in late February. I never did upload pics of it.
 I shall be off to take some then,after cleaning the place up. It's in shambles.

I always hang out of the window. I've yet to be arrested for it, however.


Oh, yes, and I've just bought a clean original red Kramer Elliot Easton off a mate in Miami :D

Well, I'm coming back to England soon, and I figured I'd better be able to defend myself and my property. Hence all the Kramers.

But I'll be in Surrey, not Scally Central, so the worst crims I have to deal with will probably be investment bankers.

The scale beneath the seal is in mm, its far too tight  8-)

I think NEW GEAR DAY ought to become a new public Bank Holiday, where we all get to empty our bank accounts, descend on our local music shops and blow the lot on shiny new gadgets! :D

Anyone tried the new Charvels? The most perfect necks this side of an Ibanez Wizard.......

If I hadn't just got that n.o.s. Baretta re-issue, I'd be up for a slime green for sure: I looked at a few at the Dallas Show. I still prefer the Custom Shop guitars, but for value the new babies are fabulous at c.$995.

And I don't like Ibanez as much as I did- necks notwithstanding, I guess the honky pickups have finally put me off. I'll be selling off my Jems (!) over the next couple of months probably.
