How could I forget Kramer and Hamer!!!

Must be a mental block for guitars that end with "amer"

[VulfgangPfuck]

Besides...I already mentioned Richie Sambora for Ovation.

EVH has a good Monopoly here...Charvel/Ernie Ball/Kramer/Marshall/Peavey...

Hamer - duh....Rick Neilsen

I wouldn't say EVH for Kramer though...only a brief endorser. I would say Richie Sambora was more loyal to Kramer than EVH was. (just IMO)

Oh, Sambora was more loyal..as was Mick Mars. However, if Kramer hadn't landed Eddie, they would never have made it. Kramer owed everything to Eddie....he out millions of them into people's hands...even if Eddie's "Kramer" were all custom made and he only endorsed them for the Floyd.....

+1. Those full size cardboard displays andn all the advertisements showing Eddy with his Kramer really put them on the map even though he wasn't loyal.

How about this one...

Well, he played alot of SG Specials and Juniors...as well as LPs.....

He had all of those funky LPs with a gazillion switches and mini-buckers and shit. I think they are sig series guitars now.

Yup. He started out with the Rickys, but switched to Gibsons because the Rickys were "too fragile". Rickenbacker gave him shit for saying that, but it was true. He plays mostly Strats now, but all of the live footage you see of him, and most of the really well known Who material was all Gibson. It was only early on that he used Rickys.

Picture Pete in your head. White jumpsuit. Doc Martens. White SG. Doing a windmill!
