Members Brian Krashpad Posted August 9, 2006 Members Share Posted August 9, 2006 Originally posted by Facejackets Looks like a Viper! I was thinking that too. I wonder if you could get a small guard for it and put a pickguard on? That would make it even more Gibson-y. OFG, what's the headstock look liike? Congrats and enjoy.

Members stanfield Posted August 9, 2006 Members Share Posted August 9, 2006 I wonder if it was made in the same factory as LTD? Or is LTD still made in Japan, like ESP? Cool shape, I agree with the idea of putting on a pickguard.. maybe even cut a batwing one out yourself, to match with lines better.good score man.

Members Seeds Posted August 9, 2006 Members Share Posted August 9, 2006 Would you say the construction and quality were on par with the Nelsonic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldFenderGuy Posted August 9, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 9, 2006 Originally posted by Seeds Would you say the construction and quality were on par with the Nelsonic? The electronics "feel and act" better than those on the Powerload, they just have a tighter more positive feeling and seem to react better. I also like the 90/98 pickup combination, and I'm sure they 'cloned' after the Gibson 490/498 setup. The neck on the Kramer is also more to my liking, as it has a fuller feeling to it. One minor but nice feature on the Kramer is that they even put of strap button on the horn, instead of base of the neck like on the Powerload. I know it's a minor thing, but it makes the guitar balance in a more natural position when playing. Quality of both the Powerload and Kramer are 'spot on', with no noticeable blemishes or defects.

Members 2manband Posted August 9, 2006 Members Share Posted August 9, 2006 I like it - I'd been thinking about a 24 fret SG for a while now, but the only ones I could find were the SG supremes for a silly amount of $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
