I know 'cheap crap' imports.
Ignoring that, the feature set is astounding.
Set neck LP types with 25.5, single coil neck/mid pup, hb bridge and a Floydesque whammy and well priced....vs say a Gibson LP axcess or whatever they call that.

Yes...A long scale trem'd LP with better fret access and single coils.
This has to be worth a try though I have no idea where to find them around here.

I saw those a week or so ago... definitely unique. If I didn't have so many cheapos around here right now, I'd probably give one of those a whirl.

FYI, you can get them through Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Kramer-Assault-Electric-Guitar-Tremolo/dp/B00365FJ20/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1271787782&sr=8-1)for ~$400US.

They should give gary kramer back his name. They're interesting, but really shouldn't be called Kramer. I just don't understand all of the different names when they're all owned by Gibson. You'd think it would just say Gibson on it instead.

I like the look of that fixed bridge one. How can they make them that cheap?

The longer scale lengths on those makes their necks look they stretch from here to Jupiter. I bet the balance is terrible.

Color me uninterested.

I have to agree that putting a strap button in line with the 18th(!) :nutsfret is not likely to put the guitar in a good, balanced position.
I'd sure like to handle one.
