New Cheapie Guitar Day! (Kramer content)...

Edroz · 10-04-2007, 12:47 PM

... Scored this Kramer Striker 7 off ebay about 2 weeks ago, just got around to taking some pics. this was purely an impulse buy. as some of you know, i have a weakness for maple fretboarded 7s (

) and for the price ($360 shipped) i couldn't let this one slip by. i must admit, i wasn't expecting much, at the most i figured it would be a decent beater guitar to have around... but i'm REALLY impressed with the overall sound and quality of this thing

. very thin body and neck that feels ALOT like an Ibanez Saber, another plus is that the previous owner installed Dimarzio blaze neck (which i took the liberty of throwing an alnico 8 magnet in already, thanks Scott

) and bridge pickups as well. check out the flame action on that fretboard too

.

SPECS:

Neck: Canadian Hard Maple
Neck Profile: Elliptical, Slim-Taper
Construction: Bolt-On
Body: North American Alder
Frets: 24 - Jumbo Nickel/Steel
Headstock: 14 degree pitch
Non-Reverse, Pointy
Fingerboard: 24 fret, Hard Maple
Scale Length: 25.5"
F/B Inlay: Black Dots
Finishes: Black Metallic

That looks pretty killer man \m/

Nice score, Mr. Drozdowski!
That's a rather rare model for what I know...
And those headstocks are some of the most beautiful out there.

Now waht's the deal with maple fretboards? What's the difference from say rosewood or ebony(most common ones)?

lostcomingdown · 10-04-2007, 12:59 PM

maple has a bit of a brighter tone than rosewood. i've found ebony to be brighter than rosewood as well, but not as bright as maple. and since it's part of the neck, it has a much bigger effect on your instrument's total sound than you (or i) would think.

*sigh* this guy here's making me miss my maple fretboarded RG. even though noone seems to know exactly what it was, and i can't find another one ANYWHERE

Nice score! I played Ari's at Drew's last year, he has a metallic red one, it played nice.
