'83/'86 Kramer Pacer Imperial

[@dougs6433]

I have both an 85 Pacer Imperial and a Pacer Deluxe and just love them. They are from before my Ibanez and then the following Suhr infatuations.

4K looking crisp and clear! Great vid as always

[@ghostofgar]

A grin like that thumbnail can only mean a mid 80's guitar :D

[@jwalker1200]

Nice! I still have my Kramer Striker 100st that I bought in 1984, but now has a Floyd, a Paul C neck and a OG early 80's bill Lawrence L90 all installed in 1988... it's still my favorite to play over my other 3 guitars. As always, thanks or the video and the entertainment.

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Yo Steve, the clean tone that starts ~9:00 sounds like split coil or coil tap... but it's not? love that sound... all the tones here with smooth!

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

my god the video quality is insane

[@siggysignal]

Got any vintage Stagemasters Pixx?

[@sarnman]

HEY !! What's up Dude !! WOWZAAAAH !! Spectacular Looking and Sounding video !! A whole new Amazing Visual standard at a much higher level and somehow it's all streaming to me perfectly with no pauses or glitches down here in Central Florida !! BTW I Love what you seem to naturally play when you go to a Clean Patch , just Gorgeous ! Sometimes Reminds me of Bill Frisell. I Always Enjoy and Appreciate hearing the history/back stories of the guitars, the parts, purchases and manufacturers that You (or Bobby) own or have owned in the past. Thanks for everything Pixx !! Rock On !! Sarni

Steve, does Bobby still own his EVH 5150 "Mean Streets Guitar" Guitar? I'd be interested in seeing a video of the MSG vs the Fender EVH 5150 guitar.

[@elsobnumberone3306]

That paint job is INSANE

[@NiqScott]

Any way to see what bitrate KZbin transcodes it to? I'm getting a fair few pauses at 1440 and 2160 on a 70mb connection.

[@NiqScott]

Never mind, it's settled down now www.thebigkahuna.co.uk/stream.jpg

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

Didn't know you were shooting in 4K, nice quality.

[@ferengibri]

That guitar sounds great!!!!

[@storystoredave]

video quallity is great!!!

[@idea1511]

the Dual Fulcrum Vibrato by G&L works real well and does not require any locking nut ...my SC-2 stays in tune very well

[@kyledurand8528]

New camera is great Pixxy

[@NelsonRodriguez_]

Ok this video actually explains a lot about something i pick up on Thursday i got a Kramer pacer but they said they had an 81 and i said no way i could tell by the headstock shape. There was no beak or banana shap but i didn't know what year they switched to the hockey stick so i probably got a 88- 90 but still not sure the SSN was way to high but she does look more like that guitar my finish is kinda a bubblegum blue 🎉

[@ultrafloss492]

Really cool! Love the neck pickup. Enjoy it! 😀😀

[@davidevans3175]

I've been a subscriber for two years, and I still don't know - who the hell is "Bobby"?

[@jshoenfe]

Lol. Me either.......

[@tnikoli40]

his friend that lends him guitars

[@levibaker173]

His friend that seems to do nothing but figure out how to buy more guitars.

[@josephjones422]

The tone is just so damn good killer man!!

[@nasanction]

What was the first patch you were using? and what program is that your using? Not an amp?

[@nicolasespinasse]

Another great review, thank you. I own the same guitar (almost, needs to be refretted this summer). Can I ask why you changed the stock pickup for a DiMarzio super distortion?

[@CtheG420]

Did they use Basswood back then?

[@MB-yw3pv]

Hey Pixx, gota question, speaking or re-wiring, i got a LTD KH503 that come with the EMG HET SET and the idiot i bought it off of didn't wire in the master tone knob, I thought these pickups are really muddy and hated them but then i realized what the problem was, question is how hard is it to wire in the tone knob?

[@schembri317]

MB215 not hard just look at a diagram, you can look the up and find em easily search the type of pick ups, but tone knobs your usually putting a capacitor on the pig too. So just make sure you look up or find the right value for your setup or whatever emg recommends. That is unless you have a preference. Good luck It really isn't that hard you just need a good soldering pencil and some sand paper to scuff the pot to get the solder to stick.

[@puppyy780]

I dunno if you have ever been asked this or done it, but have you ever considered recording an album?

[@brianmorris5146]

What do you think about the aluminum neck kramers ?

[@headbaker44]

requesting an addendum... please play Supernaut !!!!

[@vasilijpupkin3681]

I have a '85 Pacer Deluxe and it's damn heavy

[@DerredmaxTRIAX]

I had a 79 AMC Pacer DL/coupe in High School we called the petri dish, because it was teaming with microorganisms and at least 15 types of mold spores and fungus...But it wasn't red it was kind of a greenish color or sort of a bluish brown, Yeah more of a bluish brown. Got 11 people in it for the homecoming parade in 83. lol

[@wheezyjefferson9136]

I know its a "shredder", but it's quite nice clean.

[@Ksprdaghost]

Beautiful guitar man, Bobby is a lucky guy

[@davedynamite77]

pixx...does the headstock say American......I have one, a rosewood with a Seymour Duncan jb and 2 single coils....

[@jljohnnysjeeplife]

Does Bobby have more guitars than you? If that is even possible :)

[@zigzagbigbag]

I feel going to the pointed headstock was a huge mistake. The banana was so unique and it was Eddie associated. I like the beak too but I was never a Jackson fan so the pointed was not my cup of tea.

[@brianspilsted7320]

A great looking guitar.

[@KevinMillard68]

great video nice axe man

[@phil8249]

Pretty cool you and Bobby have been friends for so long.

[@TheFoxcrusher]

have you gone over your japanese strat?

[@ryan.1357]

That mic is really picking up everything in that room.

[@IamUncledeuce]

better an more? How 'bout... Mo betta' you the man! Thanks for groove.

[@obey2018]

nice guitar!

[@skull222k]

how did u get so good those licks are from heaven lol

[@RetroTekGuyAU]

It's more interesting when you play that slow methodical stuff with lots of echo reverb and trem arm, I think it's way better than distortion out the ass.

[@adamp2]

Your such a joy to watch love your vids :)

[@handgunner1911]

at the time this was the guitar to have.charvel i think also.

[@ThunderBullet13]

next time do a closer look ROCK ON Steve :D

[@ryanchadwick4432]

Steve, are you ok? You don't seem to be as 'energetic' like usual. Might be because you film these at about 2 in the morning :-p. But hope y'all ok dude!!!

[@CRISSFRESNO]
