I've wanted a Nightswan for ages and when this one became available I was able to make a trade plus cash deal for it. For those who don't know, Rod Schoepfer built (or rather, probably more accurately assembled) guitars for Richie Sambora among other people. My understanding is that he would take Kramer parts and modify them if necessary to get them to Richie's specs, I guess because Kramer didn't have a custom shop as such. Here's a link to a couple, and there are more references to the guy on the following pages: http://www.rockstarsguitars.com/cate...ichie-sambora/
He also built / assembled guitars with his own logo on the headstock, and this is one of them. I'm no expert, but it's basically Kramer parts, right down to the neck plate. I have no idea how old it is, but I believe Rod died in the early 90's so the guitar is 20 years plus. It's in great shape, but it's not a showroom guitar by any means. It had creme pickup rings when I received it but those got swapped out straight away. Otherwise, I gave it a good polish with scratch remover, oiled the board, cleaned the Floyd with WD40 and it was ready to go...
