There are a few other Kramer models they'd really do well with reissuing IF they made them identical to the originals. Before Kramer got too big for their britches and started outsourcing stuff, they really made some fantastic guitars for reasonable prices. I can't believe it'd be too hard to...

I had an '84 Pacer that came with Schallers, but I'm positive the very early Barettas came with SDs and pretty sure the JB model. I now have an '83 Pacer that came with an old SD, can't recall the model, but not JB and not sure if it's original, but it's pretty old.

I thought the originals came with a SD JB.

My guitar teacher got one of the first ones back then. The three bosses at Kramer were personally driving around to all their dealers in NJ and he happened to be teaching the day they got to his store. They wouldn't sell it, but he finally talked them into it for $500, a princely sum for a...

I went by my local one today and it was slim pickings. They were selling light fixtures, displays cases, everything that wasn't nailed down and plenty that was.

I got Rising Force when it came out and had heard about him beforehand. But other than us guitar geeks in this tiny corner of the Internet, no one can name a single song of his, let alone sing along with it. He gets zero airplay and I can't name one of his albums after Trilogy. Yeah, I get...

Pat is a miracle worker. I've sent him a few guitars and kind of keep thinking about another project just so I can send it to him.

I got one for $350 once and it wasn't a Sterling. Needed some love, but nothing I couldn't handle.

I own two of the old EVH models and three more Axis models. I love them more than any other guitar ever. I don't need anymore and there's no need to buy new. But they are worth every penny I paid for mine.

The underground bootleg store in my town in the early 80s was fantastic. I got a VH one called Die Laughing on LP. It was their show at the Pasadena Civic Center in 1977, just after they had signed to WB, but before the first album was to be released. Of course, I lost it and the cassette...

I bought a like new 2016 2203x for $1399 a few mos. ago, just before the big price drop. I figured I'd enjoy it for a month or so and then maybe flip it for a nice profit. I got out of it for a $175 profit in a local CL sale. But I was expecting to make lot more before that price cut. If...

I used to work Amex and I can't count the number of business owners I spoke with who didn't want to use their card for vendor spend because they didn't want their vendors to eat the merchant fees. But if those vendors accepted Amex and didn't give terms for paying cash, then the business owner...

I'm probably going to pull the trigger on a Rolex with a card that has a 0% intro APR for 15 mos. In the meantime, I'll sell a watch or two and easily knock it all out in a few mos. But 2% of the purchase price is a non-starter. And that's assuming I can get it from a grey dealer who takes...

I just logged onto my Synchrony account, where it lists all my various cards and I can't find any mention anywhere of the 2% fee. Kind of thinking of using my PayPal Credit a big purchase, but a 2% fee will be a deal killer for me.

I thought PT's video sounded excellent. It's not going to make me run out and buy one. But it sounded pretty good. Still kinda like the PT100 more.

I'll be waiting until these hit the used market. And I really need to see a shootout between the Plex and several others I own.

I have a 1987x and Friedman SB. I need to see a shootout with the Plex and these two in order to make me pull the trigger.

Yeah, if I found one with the grey tolex and mirror panel, I'd be on that like a pitbull on a poodle.

Another benefit with these amps is that, when replacing power tubes, you don't need a matched quad for a 100w or matched pair for a 50w. Each side is independently bias'able. You could put a cleaner preamp tube like a 12AU/T7 in V1 and use a pedal to color. I don't care much for the red...

The way to run these is on the green channel with the volume knob dimed and then to use the gain knob as the volume knob. AC/DC in a box there. I've had a few and did an OT and choke upgrade on my last one. Damn, it sounded so nice. Kinda miss it, but I have too many amps. The new ones are...
