NAMM 2021: Snake Sabo | Skid Row Legend's Premier Signature Kramer Baretta

[@erikvaldur3334]

I'm so happy Dave finally has a signature guitar. He's deserved one for a very long time.

[@jerryvahnknight218]

Snake being celebrated with Kramer is further proof that You Can’t Stop Rock N’ Roll!!

[@imannonymous7707]

hail hail rocknroll bro

[@silentj80]

not even if you tried

[@davidallen346]

As Twisted Sister would sing

@Valentin Cody lol way to trust your girlfriend

[@masonenfinger3135]

this cinematography is TOP NOTCH. Killer job to whoever shot and edited this for Gibson

[@GlamourSwinexXx]

I agree, fantastic work to match a fantastic guitarist! I hope Gibson gives me a call to do a video someday 😂

[@forgotmyname4971]

I know, I would love to edit pieces like this for the big guitar companies. Dream job.

Indeed. So well done

[@502Imcomingthrough]

Bring back the 80s so we can have more guitars like this

[@Imokyourok440]

Check out the rock bands from Sweden. Many of them sound very 80’s and they are awesome! Arctic Rain, Creye, Eclipse, Captain Blackbeard, Perfect Plan. Very good rock n roll.

[@liviofraschetti4713]

@@Imokyourok440 Great new bands of aor !!🤘

[@MaestroJericho]

Charvel DKs/Jackson DKs/Ibanez Genesis are up there too. Such a nice brake from the multiscale/headless/8 string stuff that got oversaturated too quick imo.

[@philfrank5601]

Kramer USA needs to come back in a big way, we need 'em! The KING of 80s hard rock music!

[@stergiosserres6680]

Maybe it's a good thing that Gibson owns Kramer now.

[@stricknine8623]

Remember all those Jacksons and Charvels ?

[@mattfletcher2084]

Got the privilege of hanging out with Snake a couple times...got to tell ya....he is the coolest most humble dude ever....and a guitar idol of mine...what a great dude

[@saltpeter7429]

Love Snake Sabo. Let's see how much this killer guitar costs, I want it.

[@Yuliaagatha]

I recognized this nice guys, the one who jumped out from the stage in the middle of the show, just to help a girl who knocked down by the crowd! What a truly gentleman! Cz I never saw something like that before!

[@Xaion6]

The 80s headstock is speaking to me! Usually not a reverse guy but this one works

[@Cr16604]

Reverse headstocks actually have a purpose. They laid out to feel more natural to tune. I don’t know if that was planned, or just realized when someone put a left handed neck on a right handed guitar.

[@srincident]

Got my Snake Sabo model on Monday and got her all set up. Loving this axe. It screams 80s and I freaking love it. Neck is butter and the guitar is so well balanced. Hat's off to Gibson/Kramer and Dave Sabo.

[@liamn8497]

Wow... the nostalgia that some of us feel just seeing Dave and hearing him talk about the hay day, for us who were teens back then, it feels like yesterday does it not, where does time go!?

[@WadeSafechuckAndTheWNB]

DUDES, HIS PEAVEY AMP TURNED ON THE LIGHTS IN THE WAREHOUSE

[@MetalMike87]

"Livin' on a Chain Gang" is a really underrated song. Glad they made this signature on the 30th anniversary of "Slave to the Grind"

[@EarthAltar]

My favorite SR song, and one of the greatest metal tunes of all time.

[@peevee605]

Snake Sabo. An original badass.

[@dizzyastr989]

Finally! This dude has been one of my favorites for years. And as far as the tone goes, this guy knows what he's doing. Put this sound in the mix and it will absolutely jump out!

[@siddcandy]

It's so cool to see this guy in such a great shape. Watching this video made me realize that Mr. Sabo is indeed a legend who wrote some of my favorite songs in my early teen years. Always loved Skid Row, Bach was the ultimate archetype of the coolest singer ever. It's so cool to listen to his enthusiasm about music.

[@mpampesalampampidopoulos2003]

From the first time i saw this Kramer i fall in love with it.

[@nicatquluzad8969]

We all waiting for this🐍 WoooW dude this Kramer looks badass as hell🔥

[@GuitarExpress]

Respect to Gibson for letting the legend, Mr. Sabo use his Peavey amp!

[@Daniel-qd5oz]

and the guitar looks insane by the way. Tremendo Guitarrista !

[@quickwateroutdoors7301]

Congratulations Snake. Well deserved. Great player, great guy!

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

He's looking good, looking healthy... Best wishes to SNAKE SABO, god bless! The guitar looks awsome, very nice. Go ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gunnerman5435]

Wow Kramer is coming back strong

[@Speedle5150]

So is Peavey!

[@antilaw9911]

I just bought this guitar today. Took home went over every nut and screws tighten snug. Put 9"s on. Lowered action very low before fret buzz. Truss rod for strait fretboard. Adjust spring tension for zero pivot floyd parallel with body. Guitar has great frets!!!! No tiny frets here! Not super jumbo maybe larger than gibson? Plays like butter and pickup is a scorcher with tone!! Really breaths! One thing nobody has mentioned.... open back cover and you find a bridge block stop adjuster that you can set to your liking. Interesting. Guitar plays like a dream really!!

[@jerryvahnknight218]

Seeing this, my inner youth has gone wild- AGAIN!

[@Twobarpsi]

80's = Best music ever!🤘🤘🤘

[@ajmann1187]

I saw Skid Row live years back, what a great show.

[@mlaforce]

I miss my Kramer 1988 Striker. Man if I could go back in time and get that guitar back, I would be very happy.

[@Troncrap]

guys...If you keep pushing out kickass guitars like this, i have to raise a credit...

[@KarlKarsnark]

Not crazy about the paint job, per se, but I love Dave and he was one of my original guitar gods. He looks great and seems genuinely stoked to have his own guitar. Long overdue. I hope he gets another one, like the Blue "i Remember You" Kramer. Good luck Snake.

[@judas2891]

Took me back to the glory days of late 80s and 90s when I was growing up.

[@Enoch-Gnosis]

The Mighty Kramer!

[@gfgranja]

"Makin' a mess" what a killer overlooked song!

[@letfreedomring2699]

Sabo is an amazing guitarist. He's one of the best metal guitarists of all time.

[@lknez13]

YESSS!! Really hope airbrushed custom graphic guitars come back, they're so cool!

[@connerpalmer9472]

Snake is such an inspiration I wish I could meet him

[@TheK20sedan]

Seems like a good dude!

[@erikvaldur3334]

I met him briefly at Heartbreakers, a bar in Asbury Park, NJ.(late 80s - early 90s) I told him how much I loved their music and he said thanx a lot. That means a lot to hear. He was a super nice guy. Very humble and just a regular dude.

[@silvanoancellotti6394]

I've been touring with Skid Row a couple of years ago in Europe and that guy (but the whole band actually) is one of the most easy going person ever found in the industry! Super friendly, super kind, then he jumps on stage and he's the freaking Snake Sabo! Great Memories

[@AminNazari666]

@@silvanoancellotti6394 people said Bach was a douchbag back then. Is that true?

[@silvanoancellotti6394]

@@AminNazari666 no idea, 🤷‍♂️ never met him… ZP Theart was the singer on that tour

Kramer killing me again. Awesome new guitar for awesome player. I love this guitar.

[@NameThatSong1]

Been a fan of you since 89' Skid Row, Guitar For The Practicing Musician, and Guitar World! You inspired many of us to start playing. Sweet Ax!

A Dave Sabo signature ? Hell yes sign me the fuck up. That guy is awesome.

Dave is such a shill

[@AleArzMusic]

00:09 awesome, how did they manage to connect the amp switch to the overhead neon lights?

[@GeoffNelson]

I wasn't going to watch this whole video, but I was captivated. It ends on a very sweet note. Thanks Snake!

these new kramer signatures are a dream come true. love them all.

Still have my first guitar Mid eighties striker 400st. White flying v. Had it since '91.

[@thebaldshredder]

80s rule! Nothing but 80s shred on my channel. That guitar looks awesome.

[@Mad_Axe_Man125]

Dave Sabo is super underrated.

[@luciotavares1978]

Amazing! Skid Row, great band!

[@m.e.c.j.5125]

It'd be cooler if there were standard finish options available. It's a uniquely cool SuperStrat that probably does sound and play really well. Snake and Scotti are underrated and often over looked, in my opinion. Skid Row as a whole, was amazing. One of the best late 80's, hard rock bands. I like to think of them as the precursor to Grunge, they were right on the cusp of the 90's. Much cooler than many of their ego bloated contemporaries. Slave To The Grind is like passing the torch to AIC's We Die Young ! Just my silly opinions.

[@DSchea]

Just get a baretta

[@user-qr7ee2cp4y]

I agree... I love those 80s graphics but I understand that that stuff isn't that cool anymore so do some standard finishes... maybe all blacked out too. What are the modern rockers playing... there's your target market.

[@grayson84111]

If you do other finishes, it's no longer a signature/tribute model......duh.

[@GFYS-666]

Exactly!

[@myrenschwartz4544]

LOVE all my Kramers! Each and every one..... Keep Playin Ya'll..... ~ ROCK ON ~

[@megatonhammer4723]

The very best hard rockin heavy metal tone and guitarist from my fav band. So now I know the essence, thank you Gibson!

I have mine on backorder from American music supply, i cant wait for it to come

[@vernonhoover1387]

The Snake looks fantastic! Cool guitar

[@charlesb7831]

Man I've always wanted that guitar, it'll go perfect with my original 1989 Kramer Nightswan! Out standing! I've had this guitar for almost a year now , and freaking love it! I'd love to get Dave to sign it lol. I added some Fu-Tone trem block and Titanium saddle screws and saddle blocks, absolutely slamming guitar! I have to say Gibson is doing right by the Kramer name. I was a little disappointed with the Nightswan, only because I have an original Aztec one from 1990 and it has the R1 nut and the rereleased is an R2. It's just my preference. However the Sabo guitar is beautiful!

[@davidocampo6640]

I’m playing my original 84 Baretta!

[@SuperJiggawhat]

Beautiful piece of work, wow!

[@LukeRizzo]

great guitar, long live to KRAMER

[@heavybrett-al4082]

Oh hell yes!! Now that's a shred signature guitar,yet another guitar I must have🥰👍🤘

[@lueymeteora1410]

Some of you are just discovering Snake Sabo now because of his bitchin' Kramer. Others know all about Skid Row and know every solo & riff from Skid Row & Slave, aswell as the newer, Subhuman etc.

[@image30p]

That story about the neck sounds familiar. :) Great interview! Thanks for sharing it! That's really interesting about the graphic from Kline. That is an amazing piece of art.

[@freddiehull5421]

I got mine the day they came out from Sweetwater last week and I love it! I can’t keep my hands off of it.

[@KaizerTest]

What do you think of the Indian Laurel fretboard?

[@charliemckeever3192]

Fantastic looking and sounding axe.snake🐍. I remember seeing skid row and vain..rocking brilliant.. 89 ..90 🤔🤔.

[@maeyou0004]

Kramer is the Best !!! from JAPAN !

[@johndrake2729]

Seeing Snake with it at a distance, that guitar almost reminds me of the multicoloured ESP Vernon Reid used to play from the same era.

[@musicmantoto3770]

Happy new year's Snake Sabo!!!!

[@timothycormier3494]

Snake sabo man!! Fu€&in congratulations!! Well deserved signature guitar! This might just be the next guitar that I save up for and add to my collection!

[@juliantellez2130]

Beutiful and very good equipment for the guitar and great job for the aerography desing. Amazing job! And Snake Sabo is a great guitarist to. I like it very much his music with the band Skid Row.

Ordered one today from Sweetwater.

[@rickschneider3887]

Dave’s tone is one of the Ballsiest tones I’ve ever heard. Very signature tone to add to his signature Kramer axe!

[@imannonymous7707]

it sounds like skid row in snakes hands....you know im not really a shredder per say...but i could see playing n keeping this in my arsenal. hey they were da shit in 1985 man

Saw SkidRow with Winger, Firehouse and Tesla at Freedom Hill in Sterling Heights, Michigan in 2015 I think it was. Although Winger, Firehouse and Tesla were AWESOME...SkidRow were the top players that night. So much energy! They opened with "Let it go".

More deserving then some other no name artist the most of us don't have a clue,,congrats Dave,,l truly believe u gotta be an established artist over couple decades to be considered a signature anything,,,

[@gfgranja]

i remember that on the 1989 tour and some videos they ( Snake and Scotti ) played Spector guitars, love those....They are impossible to find, i don't think they were available to the public

[@steverizundrums]

Hey Gibson/Kramer, you’re heading in the right direction ⛓ it’s nice to see the Snake man with a new Signature axe. I have to admit, the world needs more high voltage and more raw power on a daily basis. The answer for that is simple, people just need listen to some Heavy Metal ⛓

[@newglammetalrevival4514]

Last time I saw Snake with Skid Row play, Waldo from Hot For Teacher opened the show. Hell of a show!!

[@gsp-greenstripepilot9508]

This was killer. Burnt off riffs the entire time.

[@chesterswingjr9796]

Better late than never!!! They should of released this back in the 80’s, when Skid Row, and Kramer were still at the top of there prospective fields. I’ve loved Kramer’s ever since they came out the RS1000 Richie Sambora model, and Villian Campbell’s Nightswan. I still have, and play Kramer’s, and looks like I’ll have to add another one to the collection!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Sabo and Hill 🤘🤘 Riff Masters with taste chops that removes teeth!! 🤠

[@anthonylove821]

So glad I got to see skid row at Nassau in New York opening for Bon Jovi and then saw them at giants stadium and got Sebastians cup that he kicked into the audience and scottis guitar pick which I still have till this day. The giants stadium show is on KZbin. If u see a chick with a black shirt on sitting on a guys shoulder that’s me. I know she’s in the video. Pretty wild considering it was so many years ago. Great memories. I’m from there area also.

[@thelolguy007]

They’re still keeping us waiting King Dave haha. Well now we know it’s gonna be a Kramer. Gonna be Killer 🤘

[@johnnylaw97]

Okay Kramer... you've stepped up your game big time... the reissue of the NightSwan, and now this Snake Sabo model... it's time to go up another rung... bring back the ProAxe series, and do a Derek Frigo Holoflash model.
