    I bought 2 Baretta Specials and modded them into EVH style guitars. Inexpensive guitars to have fun with. Great job Tony!

    These guitars are definitely worth spending more than you paid for them on mods. I have the striker model and I spent more modding it then I paid for it, but the guitar I have now is one I’ll never let go of. I’m going to do the same to a baretta special next. They really did a great job with these necks, probably the best foundation for modding currently on the market.

      I have a Squier classic vibe Tele that I spent more in upgrades than I did on the guitar and I have zero regrets. I've yet to find an American model that plays or sounds better.

    It looks really great with the black hardware! It actually makes a massive difference and gives off the impression of a way more expensive guitar.

      Yeah, I agree.

      agreed sometimes its the little things that can make a cheap guitar look feel and sound alot better i own the same guitar but white, i put a graphtech nut Seymour duncan JB and locking tuners and it plays and feels like the 1000$ counterpart - the floyd

      If you are implying that putting a Vegatrem or Floyd Rose on an inexpensive guitar is dumb, it seems to me that Eddie Van Halen did exactly that with his original Frankenstrat... Just saying!

    I put a Babicz bridge on my Baretta Special and put a Franky pickup in it. The necks on these guitars are thin. I put a Japanese made Kramer neck from the 90's on. Great guitar...and you are right...makes a great modding platform.

    In debating trading my ESP Viper for a Kramer Nightswan. Love ESP, but Kramer has a certain nostalgia for me. The Kramer Nightswan also has a Floyd on it. However it will be another black guitar in an endless train of lefty black guitars.
