- Hey guys, today it's the ultimate 80s guitar battle with the Kramer Baretta Special going head to head with the Jackson JS11. These are the cheapest guitars from both brands, so I think it's a fair fight. And joining me in this ultimate guitar duel is my buddy Joe, aka Thrash Potato!

Both of the guitars are amazing in my opinion, Thank again for having me on, as always, it was an awesome experience and a great time, as usual!!
It was great having you on 🤘
Jackson Dinky vs Kramer Striker!!!!
I just got a Jackson JS32 dinky in transparent black and i love it it plays great!
Enjoyable video the jackson is a heck of a value too. Richard great artistry as usual! Great guest too
Great video! I have 2 Kramers actually made in the early 80s, 82 & 84 made in the USA and I have 2 Jacksons, a Dinky made in Japan and RR V made in China. I love the old Kramers but the Jacksons are great guitars also so you can't really go wrong with either one. All Jacksons have really great comfortable necks no matter the price point.
The outcome of this was totally predictable on both ends, so the shocked horror look on your face when Potato said he’d pick the Kramer was priceless! 😂😂😂
Nice shirt Thrashpotato you guys killed it both Guitars sounded killer.
Love a good spinal tap reference
Another great video! Thanks guy’s..
Good thing that desert island has a huge solar powered amp! 🏝 You guys are both amazing. JOE: you've been in my continued thoughts & prayers man! 🙏 I've gotta go with the Jackson by a nose. 🐎 I have very small hands and am really learning to appreciate the thinner necks. They both sounded like totally rad!
🎶💥🎶🎶💥🎶🎶💥🎶
I was diggin the contrasting styles.
Great work guys, that was an awesome video 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome showdown!!🎸🎸 I own both and really enjoy them!!
To me the Kramer just sounds better, more full tone, the Jackson sounds good at higher registers but is muddy in some aspects. I love the Jackson Talon style headstock over the Hockey stick.
Awesome guys! But yea I'd have to go with the Jackson myself
Every time I see your video I must resubscribe
Always favored Jackson/Charvel guitars since before I could play as a kid seeing them in magazines & on Albums, I would eventually find out that they play as amazing as they looked. I owned one of the recent Kramer Pacers & I feel like it was an excellent guitar for the $200 I paid for it, though I just didn't fall in live with it. The Jackson Neck Profile just feels soo soo perfect/comfy in my hand. Thank you for making this engaging video & sharing you Amazing energy😁
"Heart of a Lion!"
🤘❤️🤘
I own a JS32 in Satin Black, SDMX Adrian Smith in Snow White, and I own a Striker in Jumper Red, a Dean MD24 in Orange, and a Ibanez RG450DX In blue. All shredders, and I wish I could play like you.
I'm gonna get the purple baretta special as my first guitar
I put a set of locking tuners, and a Graph Tech nut on my Dinky JS11 and I am in love.
Awesome shootout…I played that Jackson dinky at GC a week ago…about $130 and a great guitar for the money…the dinky is sooo comfortable
I have a Kramer Strat with an HSS setup. Love it! It's the fastest guitar neck I have of all my Strats. It's light grey. I swapped the pickguard to black from white and did a full setup. I've never played a Jackson. I play Teles, Strats, and LP type guitars. I have 1 double cutaway.
It seems the kramer specials around here are all sold out now, crazy. A couple of months ago retailers still sat on the indonesian ones.
Great video Richard and Joe. For me, hard not to like the kramer. Now I do have a question, which fretboard is wider? I prefer a wider neck. In actually, both sounded great.
I don't remember. Probably pretty similar.
I can’t say 100 percent for sure but I own a Beretta Special and the string spacing feels more narrow than my old Ibanez RG but it feels almost the same as every dinky I’ve ever picked up. I don’t think there’s enough difference in string spacing to make a difference , the Kramer is supposed to have a 12in Radius and I’m not sure what the Jackson has. The Kramer neck is flat compared to a vintage strat but it’s a lot rounder feeling that my RG I believe is a 16or17 in radius. My Kramer was unplayable out of the box, but I suspect most guitars in this price range would be needing a set up to unplayable out of the box. The fret ends were sharp out of the box on my Kramer but honestly there was nothing that anyone couldn’t fix while doing their first string change.
In my opinion the biggest difference between these two besides the Jackson has a neck pickup would be the placement of the bridge pickup, I prefer a straight bridge pickup with the pole pieces closer to the bridge, this makes a bigger difference in tone than you might think. If you have a chance to try them out I’d say do that but don’t be surprised if the Kramer doesn’t have the string definition to really “chug” out of the box. If you prefer a fatter bridge sound than it’s the Kramer all the way.
Got myself a Jackson PS1 JS22 JS32 & it's bloody awesome! I prefer Jackson than any of my Ibanez for Metal Tones...
I like them both, I have both brands but I pick the Jackson because its shape. I love Kramers because Eddie, Reb Beach, George Lynch, Richie Sambora, Vivian Campbel...l
I have always been a Super Strat guitar player all my life, my go to guitar, I have owned the longest and only guitar I own that's insured, my 2006 Ibanez S520EX, bought it new, changed pickups to Demarzio PAF-Joe in the neck and Demarzio Fred in the Bridge, professionally setup in Memphis TN, and the stars must have been aligned because damn, I have had so many guitar players play this guitar and were shocked at how good it played and sounded to be a mid line guitar.
winner winner Richard won a chicken dinner....no mash potato's though, joe did pretty good ...But Richard cooked them both. Doesnt matter what guitar you play, talent pure talent.😊
🤘
I can't say much about Kramer because the last time I touched one, it had an aluminum neck! I straight LOVE my Jackson JS22. Richard, you might want to try a JS22 or higher, because THEY ROCK!
Now I want to buy that Jackson Dinky. It's very close looking to my LTD MH-10.
Me personally: I like Jacksons: And The Kramer Berretta! But I've tried to stay away From Guitars With Floyed Tremolo Systems . Fr one Whenn you break a String You have to Re tune the Guitar And what I've found out is that A standard 2 point System or A guitar with a fixed bridge is much more easier to maintain.
Heart!!!!!!!!!!! of!!!!!!!!!! a lion!!!!!!!!!!!
Personally I like light BODY Guitars...I don't like heavy guitars.. I don't want a boat ⚓ anchor around my neck... So I would pick the Jackson.. Also the thinner neck profile... Cheers 🍻 🥃 🥃 🎸 🎵🎶
We think alike.
Awesome
If I'm going to pick only one guitar and forget the rest, it's gonna be my Jackson JS Dinky 12, black, and customized. Nothing more metal, nothing more black. 🖤
I have 5 Jackson’s, 1 Kramer. The Kramer has small frets so I rarely ever touch it.
the Baretta "vintage" has jumbo frets, unlike the special that has medium ones.
I love my 93 Jackson King V Std with FR (Yes, I bought it new in 93). I do wish I had a HSS FR dinky style for playing while seated.
Mr. B. shredR you rocked that Kramer ..
Both of these guitars still seem like good value despite the fact some of the Chinese brands are now including roasted necks, push/pull knobs and other features.
Heart of a Lion!
Team Kramer Here!
Boo! 😄
Same here, team Kramer. My daughter has the purple one and she wanted me to paint butterflies on it, so I did. That’s what dads do. I’m looking to get another Kramer Baretta special for myself so I can do modifications to it. I’m talking paint job, Floyd rose bridge, locking nut, low friction volume pot, and kill switch which I have that.
Both guitars are Very affordable and greate for Novice or Intermediate players!
Both guitars sounded great when you play the Kramer what is the riff you play many thanks
I still haven't forgiven Joe for buying that Kramer I wanted you to send me for free lol. For me both Jackson and Kramer are up there as my favourites with Ibanez.
On the Jackson, you could turn your Tone knob into a passive Bass-Cut. It helps dial-in your amount of Chug!

no idea about jacksons, but the Baretta's neck (at least on the vintage) and the Pacer's, is around 1mm thicker on the first fret and 2mm on the 12 than an ibanez wizard III.
so not chunky by any means, specially if you have big hands.
Both sounded killer. But I prefer 2 humbuckers too. You should put it up against other guitars in its price point. Ibanez, BC Rich, Higher end squiers with 2 HB’s & other Kramers like the Striker
One had hair! The other one did not have hair! Both sounded good! 🤘😊 did I mention hair?😂
I'll take the hairless 😄
Both are great guitars 👌but I think the Jackson had a heavier tone than the Kramer 🤘IMHO but I would want the Jackson due to the Floyd 😁but I would like to try a Kramer 🤘great video 😎🤘🤘
Nice demos guys! I like the sound of that Jackson the most. Sounds beefy.
Beefy, just like my cheeseburgers.
I havnt played a Jackson so I cant honestly answer . I can say if its Not comfortable to play you wont enjoy it. Thanks RJ
I have a jackson js 32 monarkh. I'll tell u, the guitar is amazing. The huge frets, the pickups....it's all great. The only thing that was horrible was the QC. Does the j2 11 have those amazing jumbo jackson frets ?
Yes jumbo frets.
80’s Jackson vs Kramer ends up Fender vs Gibson. (Parent companies) Just like every other decade.
I like your friend Joe. He's a cool guy. Is sunday down the earth. Is it good player too. But I.
Would pick the jackson. I'm a strat guy and I love the strats on real thin. But I have a squire That was a limited additional while back. I have a black head.Start the big head.Stait's not paint a black like the rest of the guitar.Chrome pick guard mirror. And it's got a compound radius Mac and a pretty good, but you get up that neck. The thinner gets and I love it.. Who's Jackson next to their school? You should do it. Episode with you Your friend Joe and and metal dude put metal dude on base and do it song Data be cool together.
Well jackson is my choice its a fender product kramer is Gibson
I have two black guitars (Ibanez and Fesley) and two white guitars (Jackson and Fender), and I have to say...both black and white are just boring colors. The white Jackson is less boring than the Fender because the pickups and the hardware are black, and the black Fesley is a little less boring than the Ibanez because the pickups are white, but overall, both white and black guitars need the other color in them. Like a white Fender with a black pickguard, white pickups, and black hardware or something like that.
And yes, every guitar needs at least two pickups: bridge and neck, though I have to admit, I prefer the sound of a single coil in the neck to a humbucker.
Im a fan of Jackson, however the Kramer sounded better
This is like making me choose between my two kids.
(But I will choose Jackson with gun to my head)
I will choose Jackson with an ice cream cone to my head.
Dude are you hanging with Cartman ?
Oh KRAMER is best
Jackson sounds better to me. Fuller and fatter.
By the way, it's spelled 'duel'.
I knew that! Just wanted to see if you were paying attention. 😄
@@thebaldshredder 👍🏻
I would give the nod to the Jackson, however, a vintage non-Gibson Kramer reigns supreme. I am fully versed in all of the mental jiujitsu and professional setup-ology to always have the ability to correctly answer "Not-Gibson," so you would be correct to suggest I have something of an emotional bias. Jacko HH layout does lend itself to more versatile playing for a bit less of the bullshitery reply, in all honesty however. Handy if you encounter a native tribesman who prefers to play lead and youd like to not wind up in the desert island volcano.
That Kramer went out of tune fast
