Seeing these behind the glass case at the local music store in 1988, was a thrill for me as a kid.

Seymour duncan custom custom sh11 bridge pickup. Dimarzio fast track single coils, sustainer pickup in neck. FU brass block for floyd rose.

[@GregTalksGuitars]

Nice. I've never used a custom custom. I already planned on the brass block.

[@guitardude1981]

@GregTalksGuitars neal schon from journey uses them in all his guitars. There really warm sounding with great sustain.

[@asofotida443]

I have small hands, will the neck pose a problem?

[@sourayanbiswas4591]

How does the neck thinness compare to the Kramer Focus VT-211S ? By thinness I mean measuring the neck from fingerboard to back of the neck (not the wide of it). Thanks

[@GregTalksGuitars]

I haven't got my hands on a focus vt 211 yet but both models say they have slim necks so I would assume they are similar.

[@everettsmith971]

I have the same guitar and the same dead fret. Do you file the fret causing the buzz ? I live mine otherwise. Agree pick ups are ah

[@GregTalksGuitars]

Mine was buzzing when I fretted the 4th fret, it was the 5th fret that was a little high.

[@Nebzies]

mine also came with a messed up fret i got it set up and a shop and they filed it down i believe but i like the guitar

[@mmikeyhignight8573]

Hey Greg how's the tuning stability on this guitar when abusing the tremelo on a scale of 1 to 10? I'm seriously thinking of ordering one from Sweetwater. thanks for helping me research this guitar brutha.

[@yeetyfreety6938]

Tuning stability is largely affected by whether or not you've properly set it up.

[@newmexicosaint]

Are they factory 10-4’s or 9’s on this one?

[@GregTalksGuitars]

@newmexicosaint I bought mine through Sweetwater and it came with 9s.

[@newmexicosaint]

Thanks man

[@andretopy]

how much did you say it was? $350 or was yours a deal

[@GregTalksGuitars]

Yes, they sell for $350. I got mine at Sweetwater. No special deals.

[@guitardude1981]

Nice review

[@kt3505]

I'm seeing conflicting info on nut widths online. 1.626" or 1.693" , how say you everyone?

[@sourayanbiswas4591]

Same confusion here. Anyone?

[@jesterraj]

small or medium frets???

[@GregTalksGuitars]

The Kramer website calls then medium jumbo. They just feel medium to me.

[@jesterraj]

@@GregTalksGuitars I have the earlier one has small frets.....kinda suck
