  • i just got my kramer baretta back - 5150 relic

    i have never been a big EVH fan, but i had to get this done. the guitar is an '86 body, made of poplar. the neck is a 1984 reissue neck, but the headstock was reshaped to be more accurate to EVH's guitar. the pickup is a duncan custom/custom...all the hardware is the stock 86 kramer stuff: OFR, schaller tuners... i have to finish wiring the guitar today. i can't wait to play it!!

    the heel of the 1984 neck was shaved to allow it to sit deeper in the pocket. that way the floyd could rest flat on the body instead of having some float.

    i kept the pickup ring because i rest my pinky on it when i pick. i hate direct mounted pickups....

    i am wiring it with a 250K pot because i prefer how that sounds when i don't have a tone pot.

    okay on with the pics!!!









    GEAR:

    some guitars...WITH STRINGS!!!! most of them have those sticks like on guitar hero....AWESOME!!!!

    some amps...they have some glowing bottle like things in them...i think my amps do that modelling thing....COOL, huh?!?!?!

    and finally....

    i have those little plastic "chips" used to hit the strings...WHOA!!!!

    I love the cig burn, however they messed up by not wearing the crap out of the maple fretboard, you look at EVH's and it looks like it has not been cleaned ever.

      Tone is like Art: Your opinion is valid. Listen, learn, have fun, draw your own conclusions.

            Hence the cigarette burn. You ought to tell it to be more careful. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

              FYI...the real one didn't have a tilt-back headstock.

                the guitar players look damaged - they've been outcasts all their lives

                  neither does mine. it looks tilted but it isn't.
