Yeah, lots of unique stuff on these. The biggest unique thing is the lack of a truss rod. The skunk stripe is a thick graphite strip going the entire thickness of the neck up to the fretboard. By far the most stable guitar i have. Japan is notorious for humidity swings. This guitar simply doesn’t shift.

The zero fret is the actual nut. The nut is simply to to keep the string from shifting laterally on the zero fret and the soft Velcro like strip mite post nut parasitic sounds

My rig for tonight. 2024 50's Standard and Warmoth Gilmore tribute. Into my MKVII, cab has X pattern of Creamback Neos and Splawn Small Block 55's. Boss GT1000 for Midi and all effects. The MKVII and GT 1000 are the 2 best gear purchases I've ever made.

Nothing else I’ve touched plays like this unicorn. Never thought I’d fall in love with such a giant neck haha

What do you think of the randall? Never heard your thoughts/ review of it.

I built this Warmoth recently and had a great luthier do the fretwork, amazing instrument.

I have a few that would be considered "Main Guitar" possibly my 2008 CS Charvel So-Cal or maybe my Warmoth's, Suhr's, Anderson's, PRS, Gibson etc...

How do you like those tuners?

How do you like those tuners?

They’re really smooth

They’re really smooth

They are odd looking, maybe custom made by Schaller? Don't see them for sale anywhere.

Here are my main players.....I call them the Twins.....1983 Pacer Imperials C serial numbers not too far apart from one another both poplar body wood. The one on the right came with an oil finished satin neck direct from Kramer, the only one I have ever seen in the wild, I know this because I bought it new from Ricks Music store in 1984 for $600 bucks out the door, I still have the receipt!. I thought all of them were like this but it is truly an oddball Kramer for the year. It was my only guitar through HS and College and played the frets totally flat all the way up the neck. My luthier couldn't believe it when I took it in for refret the first time.

I swapped out the Schallers almost immediately for a Seymour Duncan Seymourizer II and EMG lacer series single coil in the neck position out of a box of pickups I bought off a guy in Chicago, I taught myself how to solder and install pickups. I went through every Dimarzio and Seymour Duncan that was in the box and the Seymourizer II kicked all their asses, the box pretty much had all the best dimarzios and duncans at the time.... The SEY II is still in that guitar today, it's 12.5K with a rough cast ceramic magnet like the Distortion/Custom just less ohms resistance. The 83 with the heavy poly neck is my test mule for pickups and it is currently running a SD Whole Lotta Humbucker right now.

Most had the thick polyurethane clear like the one on the left. The heavy C backshape neck profiles on these are just on par or better than an EBMM axis IMHO, 12" radius, 6100 jumbo frets. Most of my partscasters have the same profiles and close to those measurements that I can get on order.
