Reverse headstocks actually have a purpose. They laid out to feel more natural to tune. I don’t know if that was planned, or just realized when someone put a left handed neck on a right handed guitar.
Got the privilege of hanging out with Snake a couple times...got to tell ya....he is the coolest most humble dude ever....and a guitar idol of mine...what a great dude
Check out the rock bands from Sweden. Many of them sound very 80’s and they are awesome! Arctic Rain, Creye, Eclipse, Captain Blackbeard, Perfect Plan. Very good rock n roll.
Charvel DKs/Jackson DKs/Ibanez Genesis are up there too. Such a nice brake from the multiscale/headless/8 string stuff that got oversaturated too quick imo.
Wow... the nostalgia that some of us feel just seeing Dave and hearing him talk about the hay day, for us who were teens back then, it feels like yesterday does it not, where does time go!?
Got my Snake Sabo model on Monday and got her all set up. Loving this axe. It screams 80s and I freaking love it. Neck is butter and the guitar is so well balanced. Hat's off to Gibson/Kramer and Dave Sabo.
I recognized this nice guys, the one who jumped out from the stage in the middle of the show, just to help a girl who knocked down by the crowd! What a truly gentleman! Cz I never saw something like that before!
I just bought this guitar today. Took home went over every nut and screws tighten snug. Put 9"s on. Lowered action very low before fret buzz. Truss rod for strait fretboard. Adjust spring tension for zero pivot floyd parallel with body. Guitar has great frets!!!! No tiny frets here! Not super jumbo maybe larger than gibson? Plays like butter and pickup is a scorcher with tone!! Really breaths! One thing nobody has mentioned.... open back cover and you find a bridge block stop adjuster that you can set to your liking. Interesting. Guitar plays like a dream really!!
It's so cool to see this guy in such a great shape. Watching this video made me realize that Mr. Sabo is indeed a legend who wrote some of my favorite songs in my early teen years. Always loved Skid Row, Bach was the ultimate archetype of the coolest singer ever. It's so cool to listen to his enthusiasm about music.
Finally! This dude has been one of my favorites for years. And as far as the tone goes, this guy knows what he's doing. Put this sound in the mix and it will absolutely jump out!

Not crazy about the paint job, per se, but I love Dave and he was one of my original guitar gods. He looks great and seems genuinely stoked to have his own guitar. Long overdue. I hope he gets another one, like the Blue "i Remember You" Kramer. Good luck Snake.
I met him briefly at Heartbreakers, a bar in Asbury Park, NJ.(late 80s - early 90s) I told him how much I loved their music and he said thanx a lot. That means a lot to hear. He was a super nice guy. Very humble and just a regular dude.
I've been touring with Skid Row a couple of years ago in Europe and that guy (but the whole band actually) is one of the most easy going person ever found in the industry! Super friendly, super kind, then he jumps on stage and he's the freaking Snake Sabo! Great Memories
Beutiful and very good equipment for the guitar and great job for the aerography desing. Amazing job! And Snake Sabo is a great guitarist to. I like it very much his music with the band Skid Row.
It'd be cooler if there were standard finish options available. It's a uniquely cool SuperStrat that probably does sound and play really well. Snake and Scotti are underrated and often over looked, in my opinion. Skid Row as a whole, was amazing. One of the best late 80's, hard rock bands. I like to think of them as the precursor to Grunge, they were right on the cusp of the 90's. Much cooler than many of their ego bloated contemporaries. Slave To The Grind is like passing the torch to AIC's We Die Young ! Just my silly opinions.
I agree... I love those 80s graphics but I understand that that stuff isn't that cool anymore so do some standard finishes... maybe all blacked out too. What are the modern rockers playing... there's your target market.
That story about the neck sounds familiar. :) Great interview! Thanks for sharing it! That's really interesting about the graphic from Kline. That is an amazing piece of art.
Some of you are just discovering Snake Sabo now because of his bitchin' Kramer. Others know all about Skid Row and know every solo & riff from Skid Row & Slave, aswell as the newer, Subhuman etc.
Snake sabo man!! Fu€&in congratulations!! Well deserved signature guitar! This might just be the next guitar that I save up for and add to my collection!
Man I've always wanted that guitar, it'll go perfect with my original 1989 Kramer Nightswan! Out standing! I've had this guitar for almost a year now , and freaking love it! I'd love to get Dave to sign it lol. I added some Fu-Tone trem block and Titanium saddle screws and saddle blocks, absolutely slamming guitar! I have to say Gibson is doing right by the Kramer name. I was a little disappointed with the Nightswan, only because I have an original Aztec one from 1990 and it has the R1 nut and the rereleased is an R2. It's just my preference. However the Sabo guitar is beautiful!
I just picked one of these up to go with my other kramers. I always loved Skid Row but I wasn't sure how the 85-T was going to sound but damn does it growl through my XXX.
i remember that on the 1989 tour and some videos they ( Snake and Scotti ) played Spector guitars, love those....They are impossible to find, i don't think they were available to the public
it sounds like skid row in snakes hands....you know im not really a shredder per say...but i could see playing n keeping this in my arsenal. hey they were da shit in 1985 man
More deserving then some other no name artist the most of us don't have a clue,,congrats Dave,,l truly believe u gotta be an established artist over couple decades to be considered a signature anything,,,
Saw SkidRow with Winger, Firehouse and Tesla at Freedom Hill in Sterling Heights, Michigan in 2015 I think it was. Although Winger, Firehouse and Tesla were AWESOME...SkidRow were the top players that night. So much energy! They opened with "Let it go".
I'm so happy Dave finally has a signature guitar. He's deserved one for a very long time.
Snake being celebrated with Kramer is further proof that You Can’t Stop Rock N’ Roll!!
hail hail rocknroll bro
not even if you tried
As Twisted Sister would sing
@Valentin Cody lol way to trust your girlfriend
this cinematography is TOP NOTCH. Killer job to whoever shot and edited this for Gibson
I agree, fantastic work to match a fantastic guitarist! I hope Gibson gives me a call to do a video someday 😂
I know, I would love to edit pieces like this for the big guitar companies. Dream job.
Indeed. So well done
The 80s headstock is speaking to me! Usually not a reverse guy but this one works

Love Snake Sabo. Let's see how much this killer guitar costs, I want it.
Kramer USA needs to come back in a big way, we need 'em! The KING of 80s hard rock music!
Maybe it's a good thing that Gibson owns Kramer now.
Remember all those Jacksons and Charvels ?
Bring back the 80s so we can have more guitars like this
Check out the rock bands from Sweden. Many of them sound very 80’s and they are awesome! Arctic Rain, Creye, Eclipse, Captain Blackbeard, Perfect Plan. Very good rock n roll.

DUDES, HIS PEAVEY AMP TURNED ON THE LIGHTS IN THE WAREHOUSE
It's so cool to see this guy in such a great shape. Watching this video made me realize that Mr. Sabo is indeed a legend who wrote some of my favorite songs in my early teen years. Always loved Skid Row, Bach was the ultimate archetype of the coolest singer ever. It's so cool to listen to his enthusiasm about music.
"Livin' on a Chain Gang" is a really underrated song.
Glad they made this signature on the 30th anniversary of "Slave to the Grind"
My favorite SR song, and one of the greatest metal tunes of all time.
He's looking good, looking healthy...
Best wishes to SNAKE SABO, god bless!
The guitar looks awsome, very nice.
Go ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Snake. Well deserved. Great player, great guy!
We all waiting for this🐍 WoooW dude this Kramer looks badass as hell🔥
From the first time i saw this Kramer i fall in love with it.
Finally! This dude has been one of my favorites for years. And as far as the tone goes, this guy knows what he's doing. Put this sound in the mix and it will absolutely jump out!
Snake Sabo. An original badass.
Respect to Gibson for letting the legend, Mr. Sabo use his Peavey amp!
and the guitar looks insane by the way. Tremendo Guitarrista !
I miss my Kramer 1988 Striker. Man if I could go back in time and get that guitar back, I would be very happy.
Wow Kramer is coming back strong
So is Peavey!
I saw Skid Row live years back, what a great show.
What Gibson publishes: NAMM 2021: Snake Sabo | Skid Row Legend's Premier Signature Kramer Baretta
What I See: NAMM 2021: Dave Mustaine | Megadeth Legend's Premier Signature Kramer V
Yes yes yes yes
Dave is such a shill
Seeing this, my inner youth has gone wild- AGAIN!
Still have my first guitar
Mid eighties striker 400st. White flying v. Had it since '91.
00:09 awesome, how did they manage to connect the amp switch to the overhead neon lights?
YESSS!! Really hope airbrushed custom graphic guitars come back, they're so cool!
Been a fan of you since 89' Skid Row, Guitar For The Practicing Musician, and Guitar World! You inspired many of us to start playing. Sweet Ax!
Kramer killing me again. Awesome new guitar for awesome player. I love this guitar.
Took me back to the glory days of late 80s and 90s when I was growing up.
Amazing! Skid Row, great band!
Beautiful piece of work, wow!
guys...If you keep pushing out kickass guitars like this, i have to raise a credit...
Thanks Kramer for giving me another thing to save up for
LOVE all my Kramers! Each and every one..... Keep Playin Ya'll..... ~ ROCK ON ~
I wasn't going to watch this whole video, but I was captivated. It ends on a very sweet note. Thanks Snake!
80's = Best music ever!🤘🤘🤘
Not crazy about the paint job, per se, but I love Dave and he was one of my original guitar gods. He looks great and seems genuinely stoked to have his own guitar. Long overdue. I hope he gets another one, like the Blue "i Remember You" Kramer. Good luck Snake.
Snake is such an inspiration I wish I could meet him
Seems like a good dude!
I met him briefly at Heartbreakers, a bar in Asbury Park, NJ.(late 80s - early 90s) I told him how much I loved their music and he said thanx a lot. That means a lot to hear.

@@silvanoancellotti6394 people said Bach was a douchbag back then. Is that true?
@@AminNazari666 no idea, 🤷♂️ never met him… ZP Theart was the singer on that tour
Beutiful and very good equipment for the guitar and great job for the aerography desing. Amazing job! And Snake Sabo is a great guitarist to. I like it very much his music with the band Skid Row.
"Makin' a mess" what a killer overlooked song!
these new kramer signatures are a dream come true. love them all.
Fantastic looking and sounding axe.snake🐍. I remember seeing skid row and vain..rocking brilliant.. 89 ..90 🤔🤔.

Just get a baretta
I agree... I love those 80s graphics but I understand that that stuff isn't that cool anymore so do some standard finishes... maybe all blacked out too. What are the modern rockers playing... there's your target market.
If you do other finishes, it's no longer a signature/tribute model......duh.
Exactly!
The very best hard rockin heavy metal tone and guitarist from my fav band. So now I know the essence, thank you Gibson!
I have mine on backorder from American music supply, i cant wait for it to come
Snake is a real class act and a killer player to boot!
A Dave Sabo signature ? Hell yes sign me the fuck up. That guy is awesome.
Things are falling into place. Cheers Gibson 🥃
Sabo is an amazing guitarist. He's one of the best metal guitarists of all time.
Oh hell yes!! Now that's a shred signature guitar,yet another guitar I must have🥰👍🤘
That story about the neck sounds familiar. :) Great interview! Thanks for sharing it! That's really interesting about the graphic from Kline. That is an amazing piece of art.
80s rule! Nothing but 80s shred on my channel. That guitar looks awesome.
Great but they also should put out a kramer tele like the one mick mars used specially the mirror top
The Mighty Kramer!
I got mine the day they came out from Sweetwater last week and I love it! I can’t keep my hands off of it.
What do you think of the Indian Laurel fretboard?
Some of you are just discovering Snake Sabo now because of his bitchin' Kramer.
Others know all about Skid Row and know every solo & riff from Skid Row & Slave, aswell as the newer, Subhuman etc.
Dude is a legend! 80's Rules!
Happy new year's Snake Sabo!!!!
Snake sabo man!! Fu€&in congratulations!! Well deserved signature guitar! This might just be the next guitar that I save up for and add to my collection!
The Snake looks fantastic! Cool guitar

great guitar, long live to KRAMER
I just picked one of these up to go with my other kramers. I always loved Skid Row but I wasn't sure how the 85-T was going to sound but damn does it growl through my XXX.
Snake my man,where the hell you been,Going to sweetwater rn to buy this fuckin guitar.Thanks Gibson.Bring more 80s shredders please,we need them.
Very happy to see you back🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻👏👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Imagine going to Bon Jovi across the street and asking him to teach you to play guitar
Jon and Ritchie helping you out with the Kramer guys...imagine that!
Imagine RICHIE teaching you, as a teenager!!! Now THAT would be epic!!!
i remember that on the 1989 tour and some videos they ( Snake and Scotti ) played Spector guitars, love those....They are impossible to find, i don't think they were available to the public
Dave Sabo is super underrated.
Ordered one today from Sweetwater.
Kramer is the Best !!!
from JAPAN !
The 80’s were the very best decade of my life!
Gibson give us info about Dave Mustaine guitars if he is getting a Kramer or Gibson signature guitar please
Such a cool dude! Killer guitar too!
it sounds like skid row in snakes hands....you know im not really a shredder per say...but i could see playing n keeping this in my arsenal.
hey they were da shit in 1985 man
First album was 89
1989
I just keep rewinding the very last power chord. That sound is crazy
Seeing Snake with it at a distance, that guitar almost reminds me of the multicoloured ESP Vernon Reid used to play from the same era.
beautiful guitar
Nice axe! I've owned Kramer before, I felt the neck too large for my hand, but this guitar looks like it would play great. 🤘
! Badass guitar right there, hell I want just for the paint job and the pickup!
Dude who’s the editor? Fucking hell he’s got mad skills!
No one told snake only the a listers get a matching headstock at Kramer
I met Dave. He was awesome and down to earth
More deserving then some other no name artist the most of us don't have a clue,,congrats Dave,,l truly believe u gotta be an established artist over couple decades to be considered a signature anything,,,
Saw SkidRow with Winger, Firehouse and Tesla at Freedom Hill in Sterling Heights, Michigan in 2015 I think it was. Although Winger, Firehouse and Tesla were AWESOME...SkidRow were the top players that night. So much energy! They opened with "Let it go".
Bad ASS! How inspiring!

One of my guitar heroes
Should we be expecting the Alex Lifeson video soon? Really looking forward to seeing that Alex Lifeson signature guitar.
