FINALLY a look at GAR's Kramer

[GAR]

Boy, I won't be doing another pic thread like this again using the Uploader - photobucket was a pain in the ass too, but WAY faster than uploading here!

Now you know why I don't do pics. Bullshit took all day..

You can do it, Forrest...

Sure that's not just because you're slow...and has nothing to do with Photobucket...?

I got an old Kramer, perfect condition from a buddy of my dad's. You'll shit your pants when you see it. I'll start a thread for it soon.

Oh the plywood one. I had one of those.

What I don't like about the plywood Kramers is that they most often came with standard trems because they plys are too weak to support float trem pegs.

Yours uses a standard trem design to simulate floating tremolo pegs but using two mounting screws.

That's not acceptable.

You have two choices: Floyd, or standard Fender trem. A standard is the obv choice because it's easier.

The Floyd on mine was a bit harder retrofit than most guitars: it was top-routed 3-single rout like the classic Fender design, which came very close to the mounting screws.

The clearance was bout 5/16" of an inch, which I didn't modify with a router because I used a fucked-up '67 nitro pickguard.. stock single Fenders.

So when I first used a drill press for enlarging the pilot screw hole (3/16?) to support the "barrel" portion (1/4"?) of the pivot screw, I got break-out. The plys broke out sideways from lack of strength.

Even after filling with epoxy and re-drilling the bore of that hole, both pivot screws leaned forward slightly - forcing me to compensate by moving intonation points backward on the bridge.

With this body, you have lots of material between the pickup rout and where the pivot screw locations would be, but let me tell you that wood is a spongy, Phillipine Mahogany. I think you'd best suit it with a standard Fender trem.

Thing I've learned about parts guitars losses and insurance companies is: I could throw both our guitars into your car and set it ablaze, but only my guitar would get a check from them because I have that serial number.

That's right! I could write an invoice to myself for replacement value of $2000, which I'd give to my dealer so we could do drugs all nite.. and you'd be scratching your head over your $500 parts guitar loss. I know its' not fair, but maybe you should consider affixing any kind of decal and serial plate on that.

Consider writing the following companies for a free replacement decal: Kay, Carlo Robelli, Samick, Danelectro, Silvertone etc. I'm sure they'll kick you down something for twenty bucks.

Actually, I know where to get decals, and you wouldn't get shit because when the insurance company asked I'd say "What other guitar in my car set ablaze?"

That was funny, Gar!

I KNOW So is his career~!!

[jhale667]

Like you'd know, crackhead.

I KNOW So is his career~!!

Ah, but at least I have one, unlike you, the underpass dweller who smokes pole for crack...



STFU.

[GAR]

Careers are life-plans which include a notion called "Path of Advancement."



Sorry, Jay.

[jhale667]

A picture of your "office", douche?

Sorry, Jay.

Again with the projection - you're the one that can be replaced by an immigrant. Not me. "Usted no tiene un trabajo", remember?

So as far as career-paths go - where do you move up from the squat at the underpass to? Another janitorial gig?

[GAR]

Again - you're the one that can be replaced by an immigrant. Not me.

ANYONE can be replaced by illegals, career or no career: http://immigrationcounters.com/

This whole "not me / won't affect me / doesn't touch me" is a falsehood floated by the liberal media, and you bought into the lie.

Know your numbers before you parrot on the subject.

[jhale667]

Nope, not anyone - JUST IDIOTS LIKE YOU. Keep your "liberal media" bullshit in the political forum, idiot - or this gets merged with your crybaby/playpen thread.

[jhale667]

STFU, Sockfucker.

I thought Jay would rip me on the fact the guitar's a Focus 2000, yet he's so pleased I posted a pic of anything hes not mentioned it yet.

TWAS a free geetah.. I love free:

FREE Duncan JB
FREE Original Floyd w/nut
FREE Schaller Mini's
FREE neck, had a nice rosewood finggy.. but OH well, I flipped one part to pay for the rest.

- because I had an ESP Japan banana head.

Now it looks lot like the HFT guitar except it's a 2 hum
