Hey folks - I know I've seen a pic of this guitar on the JCF before, but I forget the Make and Model, and thought I'd take a stab in the dark to see if someone can help me re-identify it. I was watching an old Nuclear Assault live performance and Anthony Bramante was playing a white, 24-fret pointy guitar with a Kahler. It was explorer-ish shaped..with the rear wing coming out to a more extreme point, and the upper horn was extended futher up the fretboard. I think it was a Kramer...but am not sure of the model name. Any pics or ideas on what it was?

Kramer Condor? They were 22 fret though, and had Floyds.

Wow...it's cool to see Anthony's name here. I grew up with him in Brooklyn. He is such a cool laid back guy. Him and I were the two guys in the neighborhood that played red Ibanez Destroyers back then. I actually remember when he got the Nuclear gig and left to tour.
Sorry for the tangent, Just brought back memories of an old friend.

Love Nuclear Assault, and Anthony's performance on the Radiation Sickness video was great! That's pretty cool you knew him way back when. Last I heard he was driving a mail truck.
I know I've seen someone post a pic of the exact model here in the JCF. I think I remember a post from Zeegler.
About the guitar...it's pretty close to a Condor, but more extreme... It could be a Washburn, or a Westone as well..... though I dont know if Kahlers were common on those.Comment

Re: Pointy Explorer-ish guitar? Anthony Bramante
the last time i saw Anthony, he had actually moved around the block from me in another neighborhood. He was wearing a uniform shirt, i think it was a truck delivery service...not sure.
Playing a in a band doesn't always equal money and long term sucess. But he is still the same quiet, nice guy.Comment

Ya nothing wrong with being a regular guy. It's good to see he could have his day of fame and be able to land on his feet afterwards. I know he's a talented guy...he was ripping in the video. Cheers Anthony, no matter where you are! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]Comment

If you see him again, tell him that even in the deep south of Mississippi people still remember him and Nuclear Assault.Comment

I followed NA all thru their career until SOMETHING WICKED came out with Dave DiPietro (TT Quick) and the dude from PROPHET/Edgar Cayce on bass...(his name always slips me from some reason)
I know Dave well...he used to live right around the corner from me in Piscataway. But even he says that album was basically a farce, and never took it seriously.
Glad to see Connely and Lilker are back though with a rough interpretation of NA!Comment

HAHAHAHA...Seductive Luck.....I remember them well...they played at Slunky Studios....I ran the place for many years.
Greg was the singer right? Did Paul play bass?
My guitar teacher Karl Cochran just toured with NA this summer as a hired gun.
