Greetings all! Well they said it didn't exist. You know, that perfect guitar that would make you sneer at other guitars, and make you sell the ones you've had, since you have no desire to touch them. After 20 odd years, I have finally found that guitar. A 2007 Gary Kramer Simulator T. Made in Korea, solid mahogany body, maple neck. 2 tapped hums, 24 frets on a bound rosewood board that is wonderfully flat. Sustain, tone, and comfort all in one package! When I saw one in Premier Guitar magazine I said, "I HAVE to have that!" My boss, and everyone else, wife included, thought I had finally inhaled too much solder, and went off the deep end. so it was much to my surprise when my wife told me she ordered one as my anniversary gift. (Best wife EVER!) Everyone who has played it, wants one! Even my boss, who is a guitar snob and only plays his custom made tele, (made by yours truely) is ordering one. I've met one other owner of these, and we both agree that if GC were to start selling them, Gibson and Fender would be quaking in fear. It plays like a dream. It sits where you put it, and makes you push yourself to find it's limits. Although it looks like a metal heads dream, it does jazz and blues beautifully! [

Not quite my thing, but very nice all the same. Although worryingly, my first thought when I saw that picture was: "Man, that guitar looks an awful lot like a hoover."

It might Spit, but unlike a Hoover, and a Fender, it DOESN'T suck! ;D

Hey! I have a vacuum just like yours! Cool. At first glance, I thought that was the back of a head-less Steinberger type thing...

My first thought was "Why does he get 2 Rick basses when I don't even get one." On second glance I'm thinking maybe the red one is something else. (?) I'll take the tele, PM for address.

Alas, only one Ric (A 4003) The other is my wife's Daisey Rock. And no. The tele is not up for traveling. (A Squier, with 4 way switch and 2 Wilkenson P/U's.)

Well, I showed mine. You showed yours. Hmmm, is there a theme afoot? Well, at least I don’t have to play mine with Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).

I need to get a chin guard for mine. The upper horn could impale me if I get into the music too much!

Chin, yeah.
The Chuck Berry duck walk would become "Go Johnny nad go."
