Snake Sabo Unveils The Snake Baretta Signature Kramer

- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Skid Row guitarist Snake Sabo stopped by the set of Gibson TV to chat with Cesar Gueikian to discuss his upcoming Snake Baretta Signature Kramer guitar.
Of his collaboration on the Snake Baretta model, Snake states "The attention to detail and adherence to the legacy is profound. I’ve never had a signature guitar, so to say I’m humbled would be an understatement. When I put the Snake guitar away 25 years ago, I never thought it would be resurrected, much less through a Kramer (Gibson) partnership! I’m so proud and grateful to be a part of this and the history this represents."

Man, Snake seems like such a genuinely nice dude. Great interview.
Seems a lot more down to earth, than some.
Definitely
Snake and Scotti were two insanely good guitar players, great leads and riffs
Monkey business is probably one of the best riffs of all time
Are*
Always thought of snake as Dave more aggressive and explosive right out of the bat and scotti as Adrian more planned and constructive
Snake has always been that guy, never heard a bad thing about him and i've been a fan since 89.
I'm glad gibson is starting to give Kramer some love. They were great guitars back in the day.
I still have my original 84 Baretta & 89 Stagemaster Custom 1.
@@bobkaiser8782 those are both neat. I have a zx10 and a striker 600 and both guitars play like butter.
The necl on my Stagemaster is like a surgical tool. Sadly, my playing isnt what it used to be. The neck is faster than my fingers these days.
That Neck-Thru SM-1 is a Killer guitar for the money! Yet, no one is talking about it.
@@1970borntorun The SM-1 is the current interpretation of the late 80's archtop Stagemasters. Essentially, an ESP. The SM-1 I played was pretty much a carbon copy. The SM-1 also retails for about $400 less I paid for my Stagemaster in the late 80's. Accounting for inflation, the SM-1 is a bargain at ~$1000.
These dudes had some of the best 80s guitar stuff.. I loved it
thanks man!
One of the most underrated guitar duos of all time
I have always been a big fan of dual guitar bands, and the idea stems right back to my exposure to Skid Row as one of the first seriously bitchin Rock bands I ever heard. Them and GnR...ruled my walkman!
Anyway, what I learnt from them is.. a dual guitar bands, ultimately shouldn't be a one lead guitar god, and one rhythm guitarist playing support never switching their roles!
It should be two Rockin guitar players of similar skill level, but different style. The competition brings the best out of each other, and the combined music is always greater than any could have produced on their own.
The whole being greater than the sum of its parts, kinda thing. Skid Row were a Master class in this. All other bands should take notes! How they kept that balance for 30+yrs without an epic Ego explosion is beyond me. But that's how you do it : whatever they did, that's how it's done!
Skid Row is one of the very few bands where both guitarists are as capable at rhythm and lead as each other.
who? SezARE and Snake?
So cool to see Kramer coming back into the spotlight again. Hopefully Gibson continues to put money into the brand.
Doesn't matter if you like gibson or fender, kramer or Ibanez in the and we are all guitarist and we love music
Great comment. I love them all - no discrimination from me!
..In fact, I'm getting my final piece of my little motley collecksh tomoz...an Ibanez.
That's to go with my Gibson, Fender & PRS. See?? It's best not to be guitar racist - then you get the love from all the beautiful guitar races!!
Edit: ..Would love to welcome a Kramer "Snake" Sabo into my guitar family, though...
@@lueysixty-six7300 I love them all to brother. 99% of the time, it's the player, not the guitar.
well duh
Manpreet Ralhan DAMN RITE, PREACH IT !!!!
Snake is so underrated! First Tracii, now Snake!! I’d like to nominate Tom Keifer next!!
You damn right. I am from the tri-state area of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware (New York too).If they made a Tom Keifer model Les Paul I would buy it (depending on what they decided to price it... I'm not going to spend $12,000 on one guitar). I really think Tom Keifer deserves one though. I remember seeing them dudes play clubs before they were well-known.
Mick Mars very underrated as well.
Get a black Les Paul custom and you have a Tom Keifer.
Mister Black So is C.C. DeVille, Warren DeMartini, George Lynch, Steve Clark and Pete Willis!! Pete never gets mentioned!!
@@jerryvahnknight218
Pete Willis - Hamer Explorer!
What a great guy to interview. Very down to earth. Kinda reminds me of Jim Breuer. Glad I got to see them back in 91 with Pantera.
Such a nice guy, seems genuinely greatful for everything Kramer did for him. Really good interview
His gratitude alone makes me want one, let alone ALL the usaully reasons for purchasing any signature guitar...
What a cool ass humble dude! That's enough to make me change my rules about signature guitars. Can't wait to check this one out!
John Margiotti What are you rules about signature guitars?
@@willparker547 I just don't do signature guitars at all. Maybe in my teens I may have but I'm not trying to look like or sound like anybody else because you never can. Now I'm not busting on those who do buy the signature guitars it's just not MY style.
snake sabo one of the nicest dudes in rock and roll.
A true Rock Star with your best friends attitude and demeanor. Refreshing to see his appreciation for the past and present. Way too many egos in this business that you never like to see or deal with. It may go for Rachel and Scott too.
Zakk Wylde said in his book that he used to go in the guitar shop and hangout like a wall flower. He looked up to Snake and the other guys, and Snake would hook him up with strings. So before any of these dudes were on anybodie's wall, they were hanging out in a guitar store in New Jersey. SkidRow and Ozzy's future guitar assault masters. I guess the next time I pop in my local guitar shop for strings I'm going to pay a little more attention to the kid ripping solo's in the corner.
That was cool
Yeahhhhh...So Im gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday....and Sunday...and get these things built asap. I NEED ONE!
I love him cos he's humble. And he's humble cos he was always underappreciated. Overshadowed by the likes of Slash & Kirk Hammet... and even closer to home, Scotti Hill himself...they served to let the collective music audience forget just how fantastic an Axe-wielder this guy was/is.
I never forgot! I was a diehard skid row & slave to the grind fan! And up to..20 something years later, just in this last month, I finally got around to learning the 2 biggest solos, I shoulda learnt as a kid. They, of course, are 18 & Life, and I Remember You.
Not particularly difficult..thank God for the internet - I went my whole headbanging adolescence not knowing how to shred their 2 big power ballad solos! Thank God for Utube.
And thank God for Dave "the Snake" Sabo!
Same bro just got a shred axe for this shit right here.
I was like 16 when “I remember you” was on the radio and I really tried to hate 80’s metal but so much of it was really great and Snake, you were someone I really wanted to listen to. Your guitar playing kicked ass and inspired me to play. Thanks for your music and motivating me! Congratulations on your signature Kramer!
Of course, the lead on that song was Scotti.
Which of course, doesn’t change that Snake and many others inspired me to play. And I appreciate it.
I remember when they worked at the music store in Toms River, NJ. It was called Garden State Music. Scott & Dave sold me my first real drum set. A set of Pearl MX Customs with Maple Shells, in black. They were the coolest guys even back then and I enjoyed hanging out in the store just listening to them play and tell stories and joke around. The custom guitars they had in the store were called Custom Dreams, my guitar player had one very similar to this model, with a single humbucker, the reversed neck and the finish was in different shades of purple. HAAAAAAAA!! Good times!!
Got to have this guitar, always loved it! Love Dave and Skid Row, they had such a huge impact on me when they hit the scene. Would be awesome to own a piece of history like this. Hopefully someday. Thank you Dave and Skid Row for such awesome music and memories and thank you Kramer for offering such a cool guitar to the fans. You guys Rock!!
Snake Sabo has always been one of my favorite guitarists. He seems like such a genuinely wonderful dude.
I owned several Kramer guitars back in the 80's and one thing that I can say is they were phenomenal with their customer service. If I ever needed anything their techs were always available and fantastic. 👍🤘
That guitar sounds incredible.
Gweheeheeee
I saw him at a guitar clinic in Mexico around 98 what a great player!!
Damn, just when I was thinking there wasn't another Kramer that I just had to have!!! Oh well, I can always fall back on my mantra, "There's NO SUCH THING as too many guitars! LOL
Really great humble guy. Loved is and Scottys playing on the first couple of skids albums, really had their own guitar sound and tone.
Sab is such a humble guy! It’s great to see guys like him who are musically successful but don’t give themselves any credit because they understand that it’s their fans and supporters who give them success. I’ve seen guys much more musically gifted who never get any notoriety!
I loved my Kramers back in the 80’s. That’s all I used back then. Then I moved to Ibanez after Kramer went out of business.
I just bought this Snake Sabo Beretta and I am absolutely mind-blown at the quality, especially at this price point. The fret job is absolutely 110% spectacular and the factory setup is freaking awesome.
Out of the box the action was slammed, the guitar was perfectly tuned and the EVH D-Tuna was even setup and ready to drop D!
I’ve only bought one guitar that even comes close to the out-of-box quality of my Snake Sabo and that was my $3K Ibanez JS2480!
Folks Kramer NAILED IT with this guitar! It’s freaking ultra-Fabulous!!!!
It was myself and Paul Unkert at the store doing Custom Dreams Guitars and Dennis was painting those. After that the year before I was at Kramer is when that signature guitar came out.
Snake has one of the most underrated guitar tones in history!!
Finally , Ive heard of this Gibson TV Artist =)
SNAKE and Kramer is a perfect match... so glad to see this!
Nice GTR Snake. The only little Guitar shop left around here is Hi-Way Music. Remember Chasions on 35, Lou and Rose on 27 and Red Bank Music was the big one also Freehold Music but they never had too many guitars. My buddy worked at Kramer. And there weren’t too many guitars too pick from back in the 70s probably before yer time I remember going to 48th was like Disneyland for a young Guitar guy that’s where a lefty had to go to find a left handed GTR. Times have sure changed we have Guitar Center on 18 and Sam Ash on 27 now it’s hard to choose which guitar to get. I have about 20 guitars and basses that’s probably peanuts for you but I never thought that possible all them years ago. I actually bought my son a Gibson Les Paul I had to beg, borrow and steal for my Guild JS 2 and I was very proud of that.
Awesome to see Snake still rocking. Now I'd love to see more USA made Kramers.... the hand painted ones from this year seem to be all snatched up. Even basic paint job USA models would be cool :)
He’s the man! Love Skid Row
Great guy - killer guitar - I just got the Nightswan and need to get Snake's new release!
Snake and Scotti are the most underrated duo in rock n roll! Inspired me before Dimebag hit the scene and changed everything!
So glad I finally got my hands on one of these, only waited since 1989, but it's all worth it, it's such a slamming axe!
VERY WELL DESERVED!!!! Sabo is a great guitarist & a great guy
Love the skids no matter what.Scotti and snake are my fav hair metal guitar duo.So very underrated.God for ya,snake,so very well deserved.
That's my guitar on stage far right (our left)...the Pelham Blue SG Special... only mine now has a Lollar minihumbucker in the bridge now. It's an effin' machine!
And it's the least of the Giants on that stage!
(She's on my lap right now, I just love her! I'm jonesing for that Sabo superstrat, tho - tell ya what!)
Dam Dave got old ..I used to see him at garden state music center all the time in Tom's River took lessons for awhile from him ...good guy
Wow Dave seems like a very humble guy. God bless him. Despite all the drama, his band was definitely one of the best in that period of time. Such a huge Rock band Skid Row became, and a Jersey boy nonetheless.
What a genuine guy!
I've always loved this guitar, I may look into getting 1 ! Depends on how much theyll be
The snake is such a humble dude you got to love the guy ! Rock On
I hope Kramer release more signatures models. Also, it would be cool if Kramer gave their original models modern specs.
Cool dude. He and Scotti were an awesome duo. Love this axe.
I want that guitar, I have a pretty big collection of 80's signature guitars. Never thought I'd see this one, it's a must have for sure. Both guitarists in Skidrow are great players.
Legendary Guitars!
Snake and Scotti, one of the best guitar duos ever!
What a cool guy Snake like always, a true charismatic rockstar
Awesome, I had 2 kramers in the mid 80's. I had bought them in Ridgewood NJ, but I traded them both in for a les paul custom. I definitely interested in getting another.
Great to see him get a Sig gtr. He's a monster player and a great guy. I met him briefly at Heartbreakers, ( go go bar in Asbury Park) in late 80s or early 90s. He was with Traci Guns I think. It was just after a wedding of someone in the band. He was a super nice guy. That's all I remember. I was there for hours before he showed up and I was severely pickled by then. Still I remember he was just a nice, down to earth guy. I told him how much I liked his playin and music n he seemed real appreciative. No ego whatsoever. Great guy.
Congrats Dave.
I might have to get me one of those axes.
Gibson is definitely getting some respect back these days. Least from me they are.
This and Sambora's.... Love 'em!!
That’s a good looking guitar 🎸 love Skid Row and still crank there music today!!
My two 80's Kramer's need a new sibling to harmonize with!
Man, I never listened to Skid Row or heard of Snake, but this interview makes me want one! Looks so cool
Check us out! 😜
Congrats Snake !!
Awesome interview! 🤘
Would have liked a sound demo, but it is only a prototype. Strange that it took so long for such a great musician to get his own signature guitar. Rock on!
Dave.so great.his passion.interesting stories.and cool person.all the best .
Adooooro Rachel...Snake e Scotti
I had a couple Kline Barettas / Kramer's, but nothing this cool. Love how this one has the reverse headstock which is too cool man!
Kramer needed this. They're learning from charvell.
I remember that guitar back in the day, man I really wanted it, still do! It would go great with my Kramer Nightswan Aztec!
Need a price on this bad boy!
Great interview. Sabo always been a class act.
The most beautiful ending to a song on an acoustic guitar...
Dave Sabo - I Remember You.
Really enjoyed this video and listening to some great history! Snake is a cool dude and professional! 🤘🎸👍
Loved it!
Long live the 80's when no guitar graphic was too much. Air brush artists were in heaven. You would tell 'em "I want a pink dragon raining hellfire down upon a cemetery of the walking dead with a Marshall stack as the tombstones" and they would reply "cool, see me in three weeks." On another note, nice to see Kramer relevant again. So many 80's axe slingers rocked those Barettas. It's an iconic model that deserves this. So does Snake.
One of the best paint right now. I kinda want this guitar
Cesar! 👑🔮👏🏻🏟️
What a cool guy and amazing player!
New Jersey . Represent ! 🐍
Wish they would release a signature Spector. Those were awesome!!!
Just got that guitar few days ago 🐍🤩
I just LOVE Kramer guitars .... I bought a limited edition vintage white 2018 Baretta and it's amazing ... great prices ... $699 new! Shocking!
That's a actually affordable, isn't it?...wow
Met him he was really cool and laid back. Same with Rachel.
Great video! Such a really cool dude, I'd love to hang out with him. That's also a great looking guitar! It sounds awesome and the look with the snake is amazing. Put me down for one Gibson. I definitely wouldn't mind getting one.
I like the reverse headstock. But could you offer this guitar in a solid color? Something like blue or green etc. But keep the headstock color the same as this one.
i think that's called a custom paint job.
Tony Palmucci's "Scary Hand" was my go to axe.
I just bought the Jersey Star and hopefully soon I'll be getting the Nightswan. Does anyone have an idea of when the Snake Baretta will be out?
This fall!!!
@@gibsonguitar Thank you! I will definitely put an order in!
You missed Chris Compston's work with Trails guitars in Phoenix. Last I heard, he was working with the ESP custom shop in LA. Look him up. He's painted guitars for Dweezil Zappa (Madonna guitar), Clive Barker (Pinhead) and others. Check him out.
Beautiful gat so 80s love it
I want that guitar!
Is this still being released? Really interested in one
i just got notification today my card has been charged and the Kramer snake guitar will be here feb 4!!
awesome snake sabo nice axe congratulations!!!!!!!!
So cool!!
Blackhawks were great, thought it was Richie's tech that built them, that Pantera tour was great, Believe Sarge was the sound guy, Flaming Mug Fayetteville NC show rocked, Congrats to Dave on the Kramer, we've work a few shows together, Got Rachel his Shure wireless just over a year ago, seems like I've always been around Skid Row over the years, love em
Definitely must get, Thank u for doing this.
On another note would also love a Scotti Hill yamaha pacifica🤘
I wonder if there is any demos with Snake, and Bon Jovi? What amps and effects did Skid Row use on the first two records?
Monkey Business. I love that solo.
I am sold
Personal guitar hero as a kid
Any update on the release of this guitar?
I love Skid Row and Dave Sabo is one of my biggest current inspirations but why did he just now come out with a signature guitar. Either way it’s a kick ass guitar.
That's my dawg
Snake is such a humble genuine nice guy!
And I’m Glad to hear that he also is not as limber, I thought it was just me. Pushing 50 and your chops disappeared almost as quickly as your hair and libido 🤣
