As far as I'm concerned he can stay with Dean and play his dots+fins KV copies, and whatever that aborted fetus he "designed". More like "I saw it in my puke". -Newc

ooohhhh....a Night Swan...tell me the story behind this one...only 1 I have ever seen-I have a lefty Californian that reminds me of that, build wise
Ha! Lol thanks for noticing. Yes, I know the NightSwan is EXTREMELY rare in Left Handed and I never even knew there was such thing. Here's what I had to do to get one.....If you haven't noticed, I'm a bit of a Kramer fanatic (as well as a Jackson fanatic...which is what I'm playing while I write this for the record). I have a buddy of mine from the Netherlands who I became friends with because we're both lefty collectors (and both Dutch, he liked that part). He's a HUGE Kramer collector (and a great guy) in the Netherlands and has all sorts of sick rare Kramer's. I bought my first Baretta from him.."Pinky" (still one of my best guitars). Well, one day he mentioned he was selling one of his NightSwans, but he wasn't sure which one he should sell.....he told me to take my pick, either the white one, or the red one. I picked the white one obviously, and it was the 2nd Kramer I had shipped over from the Netherlands/Amsterdam area.
The NightSwan is pretty cool for a few reasons....first, it's light as a feather, yet is a mahogany body...which is rare. Second, it has the thinnest neck of ANY Kramer ever made. Third, it has an Ebony fretboard, which is beautiful. Fourth, it's a reverse headstock model which is always pretty cool.
There are 3 downsides in my opinion to the NightSwan though. First, it is Vivian Campbell's model before he turned into such a wuss. Phil Collen owns him these days. Second, the Seymour Duncan "Full Shred" sucks complete balls. I'm serious...that pickup blows....I'm going to have it replaced ASAP! Ok, Third...the neck is so thin that sometimes it's weird to play and I sometimes find myself "tripping" over strings because they're a lot closer together....it's just something you have to get used to after playing on a guitar with a thicker neck for a while.
One of my high school buddies who does ALL of my guitar work and works for a 3rd party company that Guitar Center uses to repair ALL of their guitars didn't even know there was such a thing. He sees guitars come in and out all day long, has worked on almost everything, and he brought it into work one day....all of the workers gathered around and were like "What the hell? That exists?" So...that's pretty cool.
Awesome though Shamen, thanks for asking man. Rock on.
wow...cool story on the swan....you guys know how it goes..you see a cool axe..and then you have to search the world over, wondering if you will eveer score a lefty...never thought a swan made it into southpaw land..if you ever want to sell, ........!!!!!
this is my rare lefty HAmer Californian 27 fretter..early 90's...searched in vain for 3 plus years...gave up, then ebay came thru for me..I had no money, but ..what do you do????
Holy crap that's sweet. You should show more of your guitars.
