1985 Kramer Baretta Reissue

[noomnus053180]

Nice guitar in my opinion plays as good if not better as any other guitar I have,but I think I'm going to have Bighead Guitars do this cool bengal to it.Bottom pics are my guitar as is

Too me that bengal graphic is screaming for a maple board. I would give Mike Learn a shout and see what he would do the graphic for.

I think that it looks great the way it is.But of course, your call...

[noomnus053180]

I do agree that it looks good the way it is but I'm just a sucker for a killer graphic.On this guitar I think it would be really cool.

[quiksilver]

Nice guitar. I love it the way it is.

[Metaled1020]

Yeah they`re pretty nice but very heavy!

[DocNrock]

If you're going to refinish it, consider the following. How about a quilt maple veneer for the top and head stock, then a bengal burst finish on that. Anyone can spray a graphic, but every piece of wood is original.

Here's a bengal burst on a les paul style body:

I'm considering the same thing on a Warmoth V2 (think Jackson RR).

i must get a baretta some day

p.s. it looks great as it is

I keep hearing great things about the re-issues. I'm tempted to grab a Jersey Star one of these days (whatever, I don't want to hear it- I like the way they look). My concern is that I'd have to do it from Music Yo because my understanding is they sell their seconds off their website, and they end up on E-Bay as "new".

There's something to be said for companies that don't allow B-stock. I can understand it with a lower priced name like Epi, but for guitars getting over $1k they're kinda screwing the secondary market for their guitars.

Which, I guess, may be what they want.

I definatly agree with you on Music Yo!!I bought this on Musicians Friend and was perfect in every way.Too bad they dont sell the Jersey Star because it sounds like youd be all over it.The Jersey looks amazing in person I saw one at Infinity guitars in Houston.There sexy as hell.

I played one back in the day but wasn't a fan of the banana headstock.

Regardless I think the Bengal would look killer and +1 on the maple board

[Bengal]

Sweet guitar! I like these. They are a bit pricey but I'd like to get one.

Looks like a top mount Floyd, but maybe I can't see the route with the black paint.

I like the Banana Headstock, I liked the decending logo better but that's not a big deal at all.

Congrats!

That would make a nice Mr. Scary. Also can you tell if it is one that Jon Hill built?
