That shelf you made for the FR nut is insane. You should start selling something like that for Squiers and other common guitars. Nothing like that on the market.
Exactly a lot o people try to upgrade to a floyd on this kramer gibson guitars the nut shelf will sell a lot
Dude... That's one of the coolest custom guitars I've ever seen. Phenomenal job recreating it. I've always been a huge fan of Sammy Hagar and his time in Van Halen. Having grown up in that time I really appreciate that you aren't just recreating a guitar, but also an era in music. I really enjoyed the video and appreciate the attention to detail you put into making it. Super cool.
Also that yellow / red combo looks great. You really nailed the colors. 5150 guitars are cool. But it's great to see someone do a Sammy guitar, especially that one.
Respect man! Mad dedication! 🎸
Wow, amazing build!
Great video and good humour throughout.
Woa! Amazing work on this.
That is totally awesome brother!!
Seriously nice work dude
Very impressive work Stelios! The attention to detail is astounding..
DUDE !! you are a wizard , ive been looking at this guitar all night and your floyd mod component has sold me - INGENIUS !!! Going to buy it on reverb now you rock !!
I remember the last fb post about this guitar. Glad to see the final long awaited video. Great job man. Looks amazing.
You rock man, cheers from Costa Rica, niceeee build, you make it look so easy
Man, this is one of my favorites guitar. I was going to do this same thing. Your guitar it FIRE! You did amazing work and with pride!
I just found your channel by accident. I’m glad I did. This is a fantastic video. And you bled like a real man for your viewers! Thank you
Nice job, the guitar looks great
WOW, impressive work!!
The shim for the locking nut is a stroke of genius. I ended up putting a Kahler string lock that goes behind the original nut on my project, but your solution is absolutely perfect!
I’m interested to hear how you find the bridge dives with it decked flat on the body top. That’s how I wanted to set line up, but I found that deep dives were restricted as the leading front edge of the baseplate wanted to pivot into the top of the body. The only two solutions I could see was a) route a small channel between the mounting studs so the bridge could pivot into it, or b) raise the bridge so it was floating. I went with option 2, which is cool but I really liked the idea of the baseplate making full connection with the body for maximum tone.
That is amazing work, it also makes my hands tickle to customize a guitar myself, it is such a fullfilling work to do
Awesome work!!
I saw him on that tour in 88.monsters of rock.love that guitar.
That was really cool!
Dude. Fantastic job on the guitar and a fantastic video. This just might be the best guitar mod video on TH-cam. You are a Brilliant man. Mad respect.
agreed on mod man its so good
Love it. What a great job. Came here from your Kramer FB page.
Just ordered this 3d printed shim! doing the same thing but on a blue Baretta Special and it will make life so much easier. Amazing work
Wow what a cool project and kudos on a killer job, you got some money making skills…
I hope Sammy gets to see this vid🤘🤘
Very cool man. Had to subscribe.
This was super cool.
Discovered and love your channel… I bought 25 Kramer guitars over the past 2 years…
Looks incredible I might build one
Hi Great job....To a old guy like myself... that printing machine is beyond belief..making your own parts...thanks again...Dave
That's amazing work!!!!!
This is awesome.... great job!
So many 5150 replicas and Frankenstrats out there. I never gave this guitar a second thought until I saw your video. Its part of 80s rock history. Great idea with the filler piece for the nut.
Great replica of an underappreciated Kramer
Great job my man!! I see these being built more often lately but not all are good. Yours looks surprisingly accurate man. I use a dremel to polish my frets exactly like you do here. Works fantastic!
thank you for the kind words my dude
I use my drill press with a 10mm brad point bit to drill those inserts. Perfect alignment every time!
Awesome job.
👍
Awesome work brother! Great video brother thank yous 😎💯🔝
They should make that Kramer special in Yellow. Looks so awesome and goes great with the maple neck!
Great job! Thanks for teaching me that "every part could be painted" I was just painting wood. Right now I'm STILL MEASURING to drill the floyd rose holes and scared of screwing it up 😂😂
been there man! good luck!
@@QGMODS thanks! After watching your video I finally got the courage and did it last night! Everything worked out fine !! I didn't know about the shims. After placing one under the neck and one under the locking nut it was perfect. I also direct mounted the pickup and it looks beautiful. I'll post it in the FB kramer baretta group soon when I finish the electronics! Thanks again for the video. It's the one my guitar needed almost for a year 😂😂
Make a template it's not as hard as it sounds
@@smallmouthguy2264 yes, it was fear of screwing up the first one. After I installed this floyd, the second one was easier :)
Measure 8 BILLION times, drill once!!! 😂
very cool, thanks.
👌 perfection
love yellow guitars ! you did a fantastic job on this one pal.
You did great !!! #sammyhagar would be amazed at this build !!!
very nice great job
You did a great job...
Nice work! I hit like and subscribe the second u broke out the 3d printer😂
I'm always looking for guitar related 3d printed parts.
SO COOL!!!!!
Cool !
HI! I saw your post on the Baretta Special page on Facebook. Fantastic job man! Seriously, really well done! Don't be surprised if you start getting alot of questions, or offers for the part you 3D printed. It's difficult to install the locking nut on that neck, due to the way they cut the nut at the factory. Your design and 3D printed idea is the best I've seen so far. The others I've seen aren't done as well, and frankly look ugly : ). Beautiful job once again! : )
what ? there is a Baretta Special Facebook page?
@@jamiewhite6798 Yes sir! It’s a private group on Facebook but you can join it. I think the only rules are that you have to own a Baretta special, and you have to love Kramer Guitar’s :-) we chat about everything Kramer, and people show and share their mods on these guitars and also share ideas how people can do mods etc.
@@jjcollins well I am going to look for it , cuz I have a special I am modding and my other 2 guitars are both Kramer as well.
a 1986 Pacer Deluxe , and a 1983 Focus 1000
@@jamiewhite6798 That’s awesome! A 1986 pacer deluxe! That’s bad ass :-)!
If you have the same guitar and want to do the same mod, THE 3D PRINTED PART AND STICKERS ARE FOR SALE!

What size nut did you use - R2 or R3 for this guitar?
Where did you get the red floyd rose from??
@@friedem0n2004 Sorry not sure...
@@chad6326 FU-TONE
Awesome work! It looks terrific as the original!
Yassou file mou Stelios, I can’t believe somebody finally modded the Kramer Baretta Special the correct way! I’m so glad I came across your channel. I’ve been putting off Modding my Kramer Baretta because of not having the correct idea of modifying the locking nut. You creating a 3-D printable piece that fits in is just AMAZING. How can I get a hold of one of those? Are you selling them?
Hey! Can you pls further explain or show how you painted the pickup?
The guitar looks incredible!
Cool.
Great job man!! Looks amazing! I wonder where did you get the red hardware? Thanks!
It's custom ordered in the current color sceme from futone.com If you need stuff like this talk to Adam He's the man!
Awesome job! What kind of clear coat did you use?
Good job man!!!! Insanely good spot on work!!! Now sell it to me.
Sometimes you have to screw up in order to achieve perfection.. lol did that myself drilling the post holes on a cheap Ibanez guitar.. I've got the BYO Lunatic guitar kit from BYO... and it's very close to yours! straight mounted pick up pocket and slightly different fretboard end profile, squared instead of rounded like the shredder neck. they are decent for the price... highly recommend them.
I love it great job ? Did you paint the floyd red?
if so what procedure preparing?
Awesome and inspiring to us modding junkies!! Thank you! One little question though, not sure if you mentioned it, but did you paint the FR bridge red yourself, or was it some sort of custom order?? Thanx again!
Thank you! It custom ordered from FUTONE
1 humbucker guitar with candy color. Very nice to watch.
crazy intonation
Yea noticed that. He needed the bridge mounted forward just a tad more.
@@markrogers7304 My bad, the final videos were taken before i did any intonation work on the bridge, it's how it came from the factory. You're just seeing it installed stock cause i was in hurry to finish... When intonated it sits futher back, especially the B string
@@QGMODS Hey long as it works. I just assumed you had everything setup in the vid. I installed an Original Floyd on my Barretta Special also except I painted mine like Ed's 5150.
Only issue is my neck is cut just so slightly uneven on each side of the fretboard but plays great as long as you dont wild on the low string vibrato. I didnt catch soon enough for a refund but doesnt matter now. I have just ordered a custom made neck from Musikraft with Stainless jumbo frets for my Barretta.
Hey, awesome guitar.
Wich laquer did you use?
Man... Very nice! Where did you find a red Floyd?
περιττό να πω οτι ειναι πανεμορφη :)
questionable?? )))) man, your mods and playing are just great!
I'm interested in that Floyd rose templet you do great work
There will be an updated version with a full video on it very soon, subscribe so you don't miss it
Amazing
thank you :)
I had a carvin the v220 and it just had the fluid and no locking nut so I ordered a lucky nut and I mounted it at the very bottom of the truss rod cavity that would have to take the nut off and it's kind of '80s but the damn thing don't ever lose tune
amazing replica,what number of grain of sandpaper use,to remove the gloss finish of the body?before re paint,thanks
Enjoyed your video, one tip to get your 3D print off the ender plate is to just flex/bend that ender rubber base and your part will come of without any force.
Thank you for your comment, i know about the flexible magnetic base, problem is with delicate parts like this, when you're warping the plate you also bend the part...
@@QGMODS oh ok I will be careful with my thinner prints then. Still watching your video lol . I just did a squier mod and was thinking of a Kramer next.
Hell yes
Very cool man. The only thing that I would worry about if I did this would be getting the trem in the right spot. How did you insure it was in the correct location? The scale is 25 1/2 inches, so did you just measure from the nut where the string goes over the nut, and again down a line in the center of the fretboard 25.5 inches and draw a perpendicular line and then measure the 74 mms it whatever the distance is that the screws in the body are separated for the trem?
Yes
Why you gotta do me like that with the intro🤣🤣 my girl was like wtf??
Can you give me any info on the exact places to install the tremolo posts man ? What height did you add using the shims ? I just bought this guitar and want to put a nice black floyd on it - seriously impressed with your skills
Hello, i can't put measurements into words, but the posts go where the scale of the guitar dictates. Look for some intructions on that specific topic on youtube, but if you're not feeling confident enough maybe ask a local luthier.
That Bondurant sticker is old too, because he moved his school to Arizona in 1989
After sanding the body? Does it matter what paint you use or does it specifically have to be spray paint?
What grit sandpaper did you use to prep? What exact color yellow?
Did you gloss before the stickers?
What a awesome mod and in no way questionable… ;)
man I put a German Floyd on mine too , boy do I wish I saw this before . I would love to have tried one of those 3D printed nut part you made. that was very annoying doing it the way I did. awesome video awesome idea. damn lol can't believe I didn't see this before
Where can I buy a locking nut like that? Also thanks for the shims.
Great job man!! You’re funny too brother. Beautiful guitar!
This was super helpful,way easier to mod a cheapy then pay for a 500$ kit
Great video and mod!
Question - Is there any slippage of E strings off the neck from the wider string spacing of the new Floyd? Asking because I'm thinking of adding a Floyd to mine as well, but this is a concern.
Thank you, no didn't have such a problem with mine.
@@QGMODS Awesome! Thanks for replying!
Oh man that shelf for the nut is genius, do you sell the file or share it anywhere? I wanted to do it to my own Beretta special one day and put a Floyd in it. Great looking guitar, the red hardware looks wicked.
Thanks, check out the links at the description 😀
Nice job.. that shelf is a great idea.. but wonder how it sounds being plastic as the nut has less contact with WOOD.. also that saddle on the B string .. does it hit the body when doing big dives?.. excellent budget job..
Thanks, no it doesn't make any difference in tone. If we were to ban plastic we'd have to start with the nut itself anyways 🙄. The photos if the finished guitar were before I intonated it. It further back now where it belongs. :)
Mick Mars mirror tele next?
Bro I used to doit that way now I use a drill press they have to be perfect
LOVE this, I have an old school Kramer guitar that I always wanted to turn into an OU812 replica. I purchased your stickers, can you tell me what colors you used for the red and yellow? I am ready to get started on this.
Thank you my friend, not sure about the red but the yellow was labeled "cadmium yellow".
This is a random yellow shade that the local spray factory made, it didn't have RAL code, i'd suggest buy 2-3 shades and experiment, good luck with your project!
@@QGMODS Thanks! I appreciate it!
the red floyd, havent seen It anywhere. IS It a powder coat DIY or a licensed
you should make a template for those Floyd Rose post on the guitar
on it :)
have you considered making these as kits? stickers and the nut shelf thing?
gonna buy a cheap baretta soon and copy this
Thank you. link's at the description of the video
Beautiful!!! Quick question, where did you put the trem post holes in comparison to the six screw holes? Were they in line with the holes already there?
i put them where they should be according the scale length of the guitar
@@QGMODS thanks!
Awesome work dude, any chance you could do a sticker pack for this guitar?
Check at the description of the video, link is there my friend
Wow ! I have never seen anyone just rout away with no template! That was impressive! I don't want to destroy the guitar now! I just don't like Sammy ! But you did a great job !
Wow! Awesome build, I'm thinking of buying one and adding a Floyd to it. What height neck shims did you use? Thanks!
COOL! link's at the description of the video.
For neck shims i think they were 0.5mm? depends on the tremolo, i'd suggest you get multiple heights
@@QGMODS Ok, Thanks
@@QGMODS Did you use a Gotoh nut or a Floyd nut?
@@ahguitar9965 Both were from FU-Tone, dunno to what those compare... Great quality though
Did the body underneath all the paint have multiple mahogany pieces or is it one nice piece
Did you paint the FR tremolo your self? do you have a video tutorial for that?
Is the red tremolo repainted? do you use powder coating or just using spray?
