    The Striker was the cheapest Kramer you could buy in the 80s and it was still a hell of a guitar. I miss my 84 Striker 200ST every day.

    This sounded incredible, but it’s also worth mentioning the rig that it was all run through because the amp was what made this sound the most incredible, IMO.

      It’s true, but good amps and sims aren’t all $3000 these days. As for what’s being used in this video it looks like a boss katana unit

      @johndubchak Рік тому +3

      I wasn’t suggesting the amp was a huge price tag. I was just curious what was producing such a great amp sound. The guitars are good, not taking away from that at all, but you can hear it’s a quality amp and I was curious about that.

      @@johndubchak yea I agree with you. I never go off UA-cam videos for that same reason. Whenever someone is testing out or reviewing a guitar, they never mention the amp. Lmao. 90 percent of the sound/tone is dependent on the amp.😅

    Never had a Kramer but Hopefully I can get one. I remember watching a tv rerun of EVH having a Kramer to play on stage when I was kid. It was the most epic thing ever to watch! I was and still am inspired to play the guitar because of him. RIP EVH.

    Nick is a lefty legend. Happy to see him still shredding. I've been eyeing the Striker lately, but afraid to pull the trigger as reviews often show poor QC at unboxing. I'm not rich so even $350 is gamble for me if the guitar I receive isn't set up at all, tuners loose, and the strings not aligned correctly which is what I've seen. Can anyone chime in how these guitars have been received lately?

    Specs say 43mm nut but also says it's an R2... which is a 1.625" nut (aka 41mm). Which is it? My problem with most Kramer floyd guitars is the narrow neck. Gotta have an R3, thankfully Squier created the Contemporary series just for me!

      Thanx, glad you liked it! I was plugged straight into a Boss Katana 100W Artist combo. Any and all effects (Chorus, Phase, Reverb and Delay) were within the Boss… and the sound was DI’d via the amp's Record Out.
