mmm maple. First one looks like a modified lonestar american strat and the 2nd would be very interesting to play
I like the looks of the body on the Kramer save the clear coating. I've decided my next electric is going to be some kinda unpainted natural wood without clear coating. Sure, it makes it all shiny and purty, but I think it hinders the woods tonal characteristics too. I loathe double locking trem systems too. For one, I never use it and it just gets in the way. Two, it takes longer to tune correctly. Three, it deadens the strings faster after the nut and nut locks get worn from a couple years of changing strings. I leave the nut locks OFF my Ibanez JS100 because it instantly deadens the strings and causes buzzing on the higher open strings. It's a motherbitch to keep in perfect tune that way too. I've played it death and treated it like a dog since I got in 96, so it just plain old sounds like crap now no matter what you do. Got a gash in the 12th or 13th fret under the 2nd string from where my ex dropped a ceramic tile table top on it and broke it across the neck. Stupid whore.
