Re: Metallers: Jackson or Ibanez



Sorry I don't have up close pics but my Kramer Barreta was made for metal or hard core rock. It's got a Warmoth neck with graduating fret board and a Seymour Duncan P.A.F. pup. It's also different from the usual Barreta in that somehow this guitar's body was made from maple, not basswood as they were originally intended. This is a fact because when I first read about this mix up at the Kramer plant I thought what a bunch of hogwash until about 16 years ago I got in a band where the other guitarist had the same year Barreta (85 different color) that I had. We both were like cool, we have the same guitar until we played each others guitar and what a shock it was. His weighed in at a little over 8 pounds and mine is 10 pounder!!! And quite a difference in tone to. This frickin guitar sustains forever!!!
