Kramer DMZ 6000G

Made in 1979 and hasn't aged a day since. Aluminum neck, ebanol fretboard w/ crown inlays, schaller tuners, roller nut, with walnut or mahogany inserts on the back of the neck, birdseye maple down the middle of the body with burl walnut topped wings. 2 DiMarzio active humbuckers with coil splitters and volume and tone knobs for each. Badass bridge which is a monumental pain if you break a string!

had to just paste and copy the other guys review. he is just dead on with the description.

it is a bit tinny but you know thast what the knobs and switchs are used for,dialing in your sound.

I play rock n f n roll 'nough said.

I wish my guitar didn't have the original pick ups. I prefer to keep my gear all original and I would rather have a different set up. It's better all original but I would yank out that active stuff in a heart beat,I just prefer a better low end as a rythme player

I swear Gary Kramer himself put alot of love into this guitar. It's a work of art. the wood grain,the way the parts fit,and just over all a nice instrament.

it's a beast.Custom strap buttins? WTF?! you won't find a guitar made in 2008 built this well. 1979 and it still looks brand new.

Been playing music 30 years and I can't belive all the Fenders,Gibsons,and various other guitars I've owned don't even come close.

If it were lost or stoled I would just die.

quik tip the roller nuts in the nut are actually the string ends in case anybody out there needs to replace or repair them. The pick ups were state of the art active pick ups,very hard to repair. I have a buzz in mine that I have yet to trace. not noticable really but I hear it.

anything else I wish I had? lol, yah 2 more.

For practice I run my Kramer through a 1965 harmony h400 with a Boss ds-1. Jamming I use a Marshall jcm 900 through a Mesa cab. Remember,Marshalls sound better at 50 watts on 7 then 100 watts on 3.

Made in 1979 and hasn't aged a day since. Aluminum neck, ebanol fretboard w/ crown inlays, schaller tuners, roller nut, with walnut or mahogany inserts on the back of the neck, birdseye maple down the middle of the body with burl walnut topped wings. 2 DiMarzio active humbuckers with coil splitters and volume and tone knobs for each. Badass bridge which is a monumental pain if you break a string! Neat body shape, like a cross between a vampire bat and a strat. Weighs a ton and sounds as heavy as it is.

I play anything from punk to metal to pansy-ass clean strumming and alternate picking. This does it all and probably more that I can't do. The pickups are so powerful you'll need to roll the volume down on some of the clean stuff...mind the tone knob too, or it starts getting a little metallic (hmm, wonder why).

The action is great, I've got the bridge as low as it can go and there's no buzzing. Haven't tried adjusting the pickups. I bought it used and the only things I had to do were resolder the bridge ground and have the bridge cut (kept breaking D and G strings). Other than that, it's a-ok.

This thing could fall out of a 747 and the local news would be all over it's landing point. Like a damn meteor. This guitar will outlast me. A thick clear coat covers the body...I don't think I'll ever wear through it unless I wear sandpaper gloves. I wouldn't gig without a backup, but would be bummed to be caught with a lesser guitar on stage.

The guys who made this guitar built it so that you'd never have to return it. Besides, it's 23 years old. Kramer is run by lesser beings now.

I've been playing for 16 years and also have a Fender Lead II that I've altered (but would never with this Kramer). I'm currently looking for more, everything works for me, especially the scale. If it went away I'd create new profanity to express my rage then hold off playing altogether until I had another one of this vintage. I put my tax refund into buying this thing and haven't regretted it for a second.
