It's 2020 and the 1980s Are Back?! || Kramer Jersey Star Reissue Demo/Review
I'm almost ashamed at how good this demo track came out 😂 Serious question, though: thoughts on the first episode of Picard??
Agufish You’re welcome ❤️
engaging
Didnt see it but that demo was awesome. Want the tabs.
I liked it. A great start to the series. I'm eager to see more.
I can already tell it's too Next Generation and I just want more grey zone decision making like in Discovery.
Yep, Jersey Star - it's the Ritchie Sambora guitar. His original Les Paul on the early Bon Jovi albums was a three pickup model, so when Kramer built him a guitar, they did it with 3 pickups.
Dave Lanciani are three pick ups superior to two? What’s the deal with that if you don’t mind me asking.
@@ThinWhiteLuke Looks. It's all about looks lol. If I remember right he got the three pickup LP because Ace from KISS had one.
@@ThinWhiteLuke nah. more magnetic pull, less true vibration of the strings.
@Darwy_cjh Yes and no. The one he used in the video was an early model. It only had one humbucker and two single coils and it had a reversed headstock. Plus it only had the one star inlay on the top horn.
THIS IS RITCHIE'S GUITAR?!?!?! Actually, that makes sense now that I think considering the demo song literally sounds like Slippery When Wet but heavier. Lol
Hunter: I want the mix to sound like the 80’s
Me: How 80’s do you want it?
Hunter: Yes
Yes
Agufish Yes
Luke Kramer yes
@@AB-vn2jc *Yes*
Noor Alamgir Yes
Richie Sambora and Bon Jovi's SLIPPERY WHEN WET - album back in 1986 was the reason why I started to play guitar seriously...just remember the song "WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE"! Thanks for the review and keep on doing what you do...Cheers from germany! THOMANN rules.
This guitar looks like something you’d find in a cartoon 😂 I swear there was a guitar that looked exactly like this in Regular Show! Love the vids dude, keep it up 😅🤘💜
@Gregory Croney oh I haven’t watched cartoons in years, but it is indeed a very sweet guitar! 🤘
jem and the holograms perhaps?
Kramer rarely gets a review on the TH-cam so it kinda nice too see one, flaws aside flash back too when I was a kid.
I can't actually hear you over the 80s-ness of this demo track, it sounds like a Phil Collins/genesis b-side. 😂😂
Phil would fall off his chair while headbanging to this ! Sorry Phil ;)
Maaaaan this has to be one of your Best sounding demos so far holy shit
Lol I was worried it would sound too much like a parody of 80s metal but I guess it turned out alright 😂
Good Lord
The "Richie Sambora" !!
Back in The Day
When Dinosaurs Roamed The World , This Was The Guirar of Choice Plugged into a JCM 800
at Full Volume , and a Million Cheering Fans !!
Thanks For The Trip Down Memory Lane , Those Were The Days My Friend !!!!👍👍👍👍
Thanks for making me feel older than I am. My cousin took me to see Bon Jovi way back in the Jurassic Age of 1986...
I'll be honest, I'm not usually a huge fan of the demo tracks... Just not my cup of tea.
But this one absolutely RIPPED! Nice job my dude.
hahahahaha you grew up in the 80s didn't you
@@EpicStuffMan1000 haha, I grew up in the 90's... I just had parents that listened to a tonne of 80's music.
I'm just not a massive metal head is all.
this demo song sucked, I like most of the demos dude does, but I couldn't even hear what was being playing outside the lead guitar that sounded like a cat in heat.
fondfarewell2 ! Thats just your opinion bro lmao everyone has different taste
Thank you for reviewing the Jersey Star. I’ve been a huge Richie Sambora fan since I started playing guitar seven years ago and I’ve always wanted this guitar. I got the chance to play it late last year and loved it. Glad your showing some love to the Kramer brand and I’m excited to see them coming back. Keep up the great work as always
Where was your duster jacket and leather pants (no shirt, washboard ab's only)?
You forgot to mention hairspray.
@@Jakob_W3Ch4rg3_ Aquanet... So much Aquanet
I was a teen in the 80's. It was a fun time for me...great music. Now I need a Jersey Star in 2020.
I need one in 2022 lol
I was expecting you're hair to be longer by the end of video 😆🤣. Great demo as always, they are a true motivation and inspiration to keep playing while staying positive. Thanks 👍
Only four words you need to know about this guitar: Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora. And YES - the 80s often were AWESOMELY FUN TIMES.....
bruh that demo track sounds kinda reminiscent of George Lynch.
And I mean that in the best possible way.
Hope thar guitar came to stay. I'm seriously thinking of buying it in a year or two. Richie is one of my biggest influences of all time since I was a kid and this guitar is just history to me!
Save your money, because they have a candy apple red version also. Plus, Richie is back with Ovation, and released a 6/12 double neck just like he played on “Wanted” with abalone pearl stars in the fretboard, and body. Check out Ovation’s website.
This guitar was originally called the Kramer RS. There was an interview with Richie Sambora where he talked about getting a tattoo of this guitar with the slogan "who dares wins." Then he leaves the company a year later, lol
Intro track was amazing, definitely an homage to the 80's rather than a throwback, still had your sig grind riding gently along.
First time ive commented in a while and I'm sad to be at a point where there is literally nothing to criticise about Liverpool. I'm a Leicester season ticket holder and what I saw on boxing day was the best team we've ever had be dismantled by the best team this country has ever had.
Astonishingly good.
I hope you go unbeaten just so you can take away the last thing that makes Arsenal special.
Hell, win the treble and go the league unbeaten and be the best team of all time.
As a product of the 80's my guitar playing hayday was smack in the middle of big hair arena rock. That being said....I love the review/demo. I think I'll go play some Dokken.
Rockin with dokken!!🤘🏻
Into the Fire!
8:26 yeah he calls it like that because it was used on his theme song "the eagle has landed"
Those bends sound good and the timed tapping is good. I believe your continually getting better and better. You are a very talented guy. Keep up the good work.
Picard reminds me of the best night of the week in the 90's and that was when the next gen came on. Love it!!!! Finally, a reason to bring out the popcorn.
Kramer did fans right with this model in keeping the Extra Jumbo fretwire! Probably one of the most crucial components for a true shred instrument. Thank you Gibson/Kramer!!
I was about to comment "Hey I have that same shirt on right now!"
Then it hit me
Great demo track! I'm a child of the 80's and didn't know much about this guitar until recently. I like Sambora, but didn't follow all his guitar endorsements, so don't feel bad. Love your videos and the Askgufish are always informative and amusing. Keep up the good work! God bless and rock on 🎸😎👍
cool use of the trem at the beginning of the track!
I have one of the original Krammers from late 80's or early 90's. It didn't age well as my father had stopped playing it in 90's and then it was in a garage for about 20 years. The trem system is in terrible state, it doesn't hold in tune, but that neck is the best I have ever felt and it plays so good, also the pickups are really vintage and they sound exactly like 80's rock/metal. I'm really thinking about changing the floyd for new working one. I'm glad to see that Krammer is making some good stuff again.
Classic Seymour Duncan configuration in a unique way...the JB is IMHO the best humbucker in the business. I finally found time to see this review and I appreciate the thoroughness.
This is my favorite demo so far, amazing job!
Volutes should be standard on most of, if not all guitars.
Your 80’s demo track turned my Les Paul brand new again....
It felt like it was back in the 80’s....
That moment you realize the 80s is 40 years ago now. Damn. I grew up in the 2000s so the 80s have always been just 20 years ago to my mind haha
Lol right?
I was born in 85 so I got to enjoy a tiny bit of the 80s. Man I'm getting old. 38 now
Guitar playing sounds killer, dude 🤘🤘🤘
Fair assessment...didnt think you would on this.. appreciated
Jackson/Charvel instruments have the wrenches on the back of the headstock on the MIM stuff.
Matheau Dodds Old US ones did too. Super practical feature.
I'm so proud of you omg
HELL YEAH BROTHER
@@agufish #ChurchOfOscar
Are you sure you weren’t alive in the 80s? Bc GOD DAMN this is the most Miami purple and blue aesthetic thing I’ve ever heard
Great groove on the opening demo track. Kramer was God back in the 80s. Loved the one my dad got me.
so hunter... how much hair metal did you listen to to get that demo track right?
let's just say my Spotify recommendations are all fucked up now 🤷♂️
Agufish I respect the commitment though
@@agufish *A small price to pay for salvation* ?
Rip to your discover weekly
Such a beautiful guitar! Love the jersey star. 🙌🏻🎸
thats the kramer Jersey star model famous for being used and built for the former bon jovi guitarist Richie Sambora during de 80s/90s bon jovi era. sambora used to have 3 differnt models the black one and red quilted top also he had the "BAD MEDICINE" guitar. awesome guitar and awesome guitarist.
Thank God for the star inlays and volute.
Excellent review and killer playing. Now, all you need is the look to match the tone.
So, when are you going to review a Nightswan?
Ibanez is a great example of a Superstrat. So a 16” radius neck is right at home on it as well as Charvel and Jackson guitars. The world was a happier place in the ‘80s.
The hair bands in the 80s played Kramers. Looks like they're making a comeback.
Nice guitar, its not exactly a *JEM* but its closer than most super strats, anything with 3 humbuckers gets my metal approval nod.
7:50 it used to be a thing in 80-90s charvel/jackson guitars
First manufacture to do the allen keys like that, was Jackson. All the USA model had it prior to Fender fucking Jackson up, and some still do to this day.
To increase your sound quality swap the neck and the middle pickups. That leaves the middle pickup as the one that is different so when you have the selecter to the bridge and middle pickup sweet sound is what you have, 80's style
i got the white & red jersey star!...i love it!🤘
The guitar and the demo track is so 80s it hurts, but like in a masochistic good way. Safe to say that, I feel like I got dropped into an 80s movie that takes place in the future.
I think the only thing missing is a third mini toggle for splitting the neck pickup. HHH, HSH, HSS, SSS, SHS, SSH, etc, are all available. With only two mini toggles, the neck is always a hunbucker, which is a tad strange to me. I could see the mini toggles be for splitting the middle and neck, but bridge and middle? Very interesting choice.
I love the look of the guitar 😍
I saw an 80's version of this guitar given away in a music store giveaway. Those were great. ESP Japan made parts assembled in the US with Original Schaller made Original Floyds. They really kicked San Dimas Charvels when they got exclusivity of the Floyds. If they remade the new Kramers in the same manner they would have to charge $3000....as with many things from the 80's.
that riff was soooo dope!
It’ll be cool if other brands would do non recessed floyd roses
Really enjoyed your video. Great to see recognition of such an important era of rock music. Have an off topic question for you. What’s the brand / style number of your glasses. Been trying to fine ones like that with Ray Ban and haven’t been able. Thanks & keep up the great content!
Thanks for the review Hunter. Honest as usual. Man that opening 80's style track reminded me of Def Leppard and a Phil Collin type solo. Very good and the Eagle sound from Glenn is from his song on his channel. The song is called "The Eagle had Landed". That song has one of the heaviest riffs ever IMHO. Being a teen in the 80's I was not a hair metal dude. I was into punk and thrash. That Kramer is nice but I'd buy just the white classic. Only liked Bon Jovi because most girls I dated were into that stuff. They couldn't relate to Slayer,Venom,Exodus,Metallica, Megadeth,Anthrax,Destruction,VoiVod,Celtic Frost etc. Anyway nice guitar but not my cup of tea. Cheers.🤘👍🎸
Hey man! Great video as always! 👍🏻
Did you change your spectacles?? (Glasses)
Community Property ? You are the man!!!
death to all "butt metal"
I’m kind of surprised you never tried one of the Kramer Assaults considering how much you love les Paul style single cuts
I love the 80s so this is epic guitar and such a great look to it
The Epiphone Nightfall had that Allen wrench setup on the headstock. I have one.
You should test a baretta special or just the vintage one.
This is so 80's and I FUCKING LOVE IT!
The peak 80’s track is all in the Canon Shot snare, that’s the 80’s
No better way to play authentic than with a Gibson subsidiary fender knock off lol
@@dante8227 that's not his point.
❄️
This original Kramer was a Gibson les paul reinterpretation.
Gibson owns kramer now
So....
I own a Kramer and I can tell you why not everyone uses those key holders, they keep falling off! Eventually I gave up and just bought a multi hex key tool and haven’t lost that yet! Good review though!
I wish they had another finish option on the nightswan other than the polka dot, like those lightning bolt graphics on the originals. Man it's such a cool guitar.
Good job 👏
Thanks, I probably won’t be buying one either with a middle hum-bucker.
They did do that. Regarding the wrenches
this song is stupidly good
Check out the Assailt model from Kramer, it's a Les Paul style body with a Floyd Rose & 25.5 inch scale
Damn the guitar sounds super noisy in the solo'd playing portions
My exact thought
The ground hum is bothering the shit out of me.
It's almost like there's no shielding at all, like I'm pretty sure my tele isn't that noisy in comparison to this thing
@@thebloodychord My yamaha pacifica is unshielded and I bought 2 noise gates (one in front and one in the loop.) because I fucking hate ground hum more than you could ever believe.
I noticed it on the split coil segments...you don't need no stinking split coils in hair metal👊💥
Fucking hell dude, this demo sounds like something off Scenes From A Memory mixed with Hysteria!
I kinda like that you didn’t know too much about the guitar....means you got some killer guitar coming up in your life!... ;)
Cool tune! Get yourself a plate full of chips and you'll have some bangin nachos. 😅
j/k always enjoy your vids!
Does'nt go with your preferences? Your always loving on pastel guitars lol.....glad you did this but I would have like to see metal played through it.
I would love to have that Guitar if they would get rid of the Neck and Middle Pups slant the Bridge pups one Volume knob and then shred like a Coked up 80's Rock Star !! Oh and for the young man yes the 80's were a Blast I couldn't write enough to explain how Awesome they were . Throw in I was a Guitarist started in 1980 and by 84 -85 was gigging Local and had all the girls , booze and Other Amenities the 80's provided everyday and night we partied weekdays or weekends it didn't matter the Party never stopped unless you personally took a break lol . It was everything you hear and read about and so much more !!
The play-through tracks tho 😌
Hunter, in my country when you play this guitar, you become a boomer! (yakov smirnoff inspired joke, very 80's)
Can't say I like the looks, but with those specs and the neck I am really interested to play it. It sounded very spikey harsh on it's own though. Was that the DSL or the Kramer?
He’s playing “dreams I’ll never see” by molly hatchet
Man the 80s were freakin awesome dood.
Whatever Hunter! You just wanted to write an 80's style song 🤣🤣🤘🤘
I admit to nothing 😝
@@agufish 🤣🤣🤣
So with all those pickup combinations, you can't have a single-coil in the neck position for something like Bed of Roses or Damned?
I like the way kramer is being better represented now . I still think that Seymour jbs are way too noisy when they are split . I have a few guitars with jb in them with the splitable option and I never use it because of the hum . I know it's just the way it is , but , damn ............ you would think that there could've been some way to split them and keep them a little less buzzy by now . Maybe one day . Sorry for the rant . Good review though .
If you remove the neck on this guitar, you will find in neck pocket a few pieces of wood. The neck is shimmed on this guitar. Recently I bought a Kramer Baretta Vintage Candy Blue and it had shimmed neck. I think for that price Kramer could come up with something better
Kramer were always supbar rip-offs of Charvel/Jackson supertrats even back in the day. They didn´t even manufacture their own parts and use to buy necks and other componends from ESP and other companies and just cobble them together.
Wow....that's terrible. I wonder if they are all shimmed? Indonesia made guitars are usually pretty good quality.
Good job 👏
Thanks, I probably won’t be buying one either with a middle hum-bucker.
So although you don’t care for the radius here or on Ibanez did you enjoy or have more fun here than with the Ibanez models you have tried before?
We'll turn you into an '80s shredder yet!
Wow...I have bad hearing....and have hard time hearing subtle tone changes but I could definitely hear that hum....oddly...I have three 80’s Ibanez’ and a few other brands from the 80’s and are all very hum buggy and micro phonic. I had to shield them and now use daddario power base ( highly recommend).
I feel the new Kramer line missed the mark.
1. Designs should have been each model has a crazy looking variant
2. quality looks way less than what you are paying for. Looks comparable to a $600 schecter or Ibanez but an 80's aesthetic.
3. again the price. Over a grand for this? why would anyone consider this over a mim charvel with similar features and hardware for less money?
Just a real let down for me.
Yup, the pickups are VERY noisy when split with a lot of distorsion (kinda expected tbh). Also the so-so finish issues are pretty disappointing for a 1k guitar. It's still very cool and it has a niche.
What would of been nice is if you would play some Richie Sambora on what he made popular.
They should have went for the trifecta and put a JB in the neck. They actually shred yo face off in the neck. Look funky as they don't make a proper spaced JB for the neck but still.... would have had to add a 3rd just because.
Great! Do you use here any overdrive pedals?
Kramer, seymour duncan and a marshall head... that was the 80s. Did Richie originally set up his floyd to dive only? I always thought his floyds were floating. Regarding the middle HB, can you lower it to reduce the magnet pull and get it out of the way of your picking? I find on my strat guitars that middle PU gets in the way a little so I lower it down a bit.
I would have preferred a Nightswan review. But that's my 80s fanboy that loved Whitesnake 100x more than Bon Jovi.
Is it bad that I think the 80s demo is one of his best? 🤣
You should do a review of the agile chiral headless guitar
