Epiphone, Kramer & Some Funky Headless Guitars from Steinberger!

[@elchompo6114]

The return of Kramer makes me unbelievably happy

[@JMEAUS22]

Skunkmaster B Kramer weren’t selling anything the last 3 years, it got warehoused. Perhaps you shouldn’t comment on a brand if you didn’t know that basic thing about said brand

[@regend762]

I have two of them, a legit Baretta from like 84, and a Striker the scooped upper frets. Both collecting dust and worth nothing.

[@regend762]

@Skunkmaster B Yes. In the minds of the people who are paying that much for them sure. But I own one, in good condition, and it is pure junk. My Yamaha RGX 612S runs circles around it and it is worth...$250?

[@1970borntorun]

@Skunkmaster B Dude, it's not "Magic" that made the Kramer guitars sound good. I like the old Kramer stuff too but there's nothing ( aside from the Neck-Thru stuff ) about the 80s Kramers Guitars, construction-wise that isn't EASILY duplicated by buying parts from Warmoth. Hmm, let's see. Alder/Mahogany body, 2 hot Humbuckers, Floyd Rose. It's not Rocket Science lol :)

[@1970borntorun]

@@regend762 I agree. A High-End Yamaha Guitar is EASILY as good or better than the counterpart from Kramer. I'm not "anti-Kramer", it's just all the Rose-Colored Glasses people look through as they also dream of being Eddie Van Halen or Vivian Campbell, circa 1986 LOL

[@jessefillmore]

I liked how the new CEO said he wanted Epiphone and Kramer to be their own thing . Be cool to see high end Epiphone's and Kramer's . Epiphone used to be state side and it's own company . Keeping Epiphone and Kramer as the cheaper alternative is okay but some USA made Epi's and Kramers would be pretty damn killer !!!

[@piRaufasertapete]

Question is if Gibson might loose some lower price market share then... A similar strategy worked for ESP

[@rickbrown3426]

I have several that are USA made customs and they blow the last few years of Gbsons away. The custom shop Sheraton II with ProBuckers is epic!

[@alanaustin4260]

glad to see Kramer back. My first guitar back in the early '90s. I still have it.

I clicked because i saw kramer. the 80s lives forever through these guitars.

[@dominicmcmahon4798]

Yeah he is great. Man I hope that his signature epi has the option to not have that blues power plate on it. Or is it a sticker? Love to find out.

Jack Cassidy was Jefferson Airplane's original bass player. He's a very talented musician. Back in those days he played a Fender Precision.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.

[@hughsnyder891]

One of my favorite bass players . He and Jorma are rock and roll legends . I was fortunate to see Jefferson Airplane ages ago and Hot Tuna who I’ve seen over the decades .

[@KsiazeIgor]

Still being mistaken for Jack Cassidy, the actor and singer. Probably that's why the Captain misspells the name.

[@TheTurkey79]

He played on "Voodoo Chile" aswell

[@akc5150]

As for Steinberger, probably the BEST example of the uniqueness of them and the TransTrem system is Van Halen's Summer Nights which is played in 3 different keys and only made possible by either the TransTrem or some SERIOUS finger twisting!!! Shame they didn't bring that back!!

[@BRKsEDU]

I'm in early... hoped I'd be there at NAMM but at least got your videos to enjoy it =P

That Kramer Assault is LITERALLY my dream guitar

[@versnellingspookie]

I would totally go for one of those steinbergers! Those Kramers look cool too!

[@darkinertia2]

I love my headless guitar, its nice being able to lay it down anywhere without hitting the tuners and becausd its double ball ended, it never goes out of tune and you can work on your guitar without having to buy new strings

[@surelytheend]

That Jared James Nichols Les Paul does things to me. I may need to take a second look at that...

[@BenFentem]

Steinberger guitars make for a superb travel guitar option. I'd seriously consider getting one for when I'm travelling with work. That, headphone amp and hotel rooms are redeemed

[@jwguitar]

It’s nice to see Steinberger coming back. I would really like to see the return of the graphite models.

[@charlesb7831]

I want the Kramer Nightswan, I have an original and I would love another. I can't wait to compare them! Definitely want that red Kramer Stagemaster as well.

[@Spartanjp308]

The polka dot guitar is the Vivian Campbell model from the 80s.

[@stratblooz1]

Spartanjp308 haha..... I was also shouting that at my phone..... and it is a Sambora reissue. Do you think the new Viv Campbell reissue will be marketed as the Nightswan...... I saw a prototype of these being made a few years ago being marketed as Buddy Blaze guitars, (after Vivs original prototype of the 80's)? If they make one with the lightening sky graphic I'll be having one!

[@BigMateo24]

@@stratblooz1 It's being labeled in their brochure as the Nightswan, so yeah. I've also read on Vintagekramers.com that this was in the works for quite some time, I think like since '04 but wasn't ever released, and they used measurements and specs from original guitars to get it as close as they can. Kind of wish they would release pricing for these as I'm really interested, but I haven't been able to find anything.

[@jairotena8281]

I'm surprised about Vivian's epiphone. I was hearing the rumors about the Nightswan the past month and had no clue about the LP till this vid. Both are gonna be awesome

[@KeeperOfPoops]

i want the Jersey Star cos it's pure Bon Jovi

[@TheElliott5]

Great tour guys 👍 I wish Epiphone would focus more on there back to basics catalogue like Gibson are - original spec Casinos, Sheraton’s etc. Give us the original vintage Epi’s rather than simply cheaper versions of Gibson’s best sellers from the year before. I don’t think Gibson value the heritage of Epiphone enough at times... Just my take on it. Great NAMM coverage 🙌

[@b00neDawg00]

Finally they're covering something I can afford Edit- Kramer might give evh some real competition if the price is good

Think folks have been waiting a loooong time for some decent Kramers to come back out, especially the NightSwan.. Would be good if the guys at Andertons could do a shootout between some real vintage Kramers and the new ones to see how different they really are, especially the Barettas. I own a nice '86 Baretta in flip-flop pink and to me it's the iconic 80's rock guitar!
