He put a Kramer neck on his og to begin with I believe before he put together the 5150 guitar.
That's not a half bad idea!
Yeah! I was just a kid in those days and it was a few years before I took up guitar, but I was super into hard rock/metal even then. As I recall Kramer's big score was the EVH endorsement. And I think that he never actually played like, a Pacer or a Beretta... they just made him a copy of his Frankenstrat, or something?
I've owned an SG, but I never found a Les Paul that agreed with me. I considered giving them another shot a few years ago when they redid the lineup... but then 'Play Authentic' happened and I was too disgusted with them.I have had a LOT of Gibsons over the years, The last one, a great older 335, left a few years back. Having found something much better, I do not really miss it. I understand their new guitars, at least at the "custom" level, are great. I just have no need to go back. (Among other things, some PRS Singlecuts that are better than any Les Paul I ever owned, And, surprisingly, a Hamer Monaco with custom pickups that is better---IMO----than the original '56 Goldtop I had for nearly 2 decades. Blasphemy!).
I need to take an inventory of the many pieces of Mesa gear I have. More than I have any justifiable reason to keep. Maybe I should cash in a few (or several) But I am not of a mind to be shipping big hunks of iron and glass across the country.
I'm confused...
+1The buyout forced my hand to buy another Mesa before Gibson screws them up. In that way, I guess Gibson helped to sell the existing stock of amps.
