New Guitar: 1986 Kramer Pacer Deluxe

Another amazing stroke of luck - the only bidder on this fine piece. This beautiful Pacer is a rare transparent blue finish, with a great neck in amazing condition. The rosewood fretboard has very tight grain and it’s as smooth in appearance as my other Kramers, and the board is very well hydrated looking with rich color. It also has some very interesting light blue control knobs, and an original Kramer case - but not original for a pointy necked one. I’ve since moved another guitar into this case, and now this one resides in a more period correct case.

New Amp: EVH 5150 III 50w Head

I came across this one at my local Sam Ash music store. The amount of gain and how thick and full it sounded really surprised me so I worked out a deal and took it home.

It’s a great compliment to my Marshall TSL, which has a dryer tone with more upper mids and less bass. The EVH can be dialed in conservatively for classic rock tones but the fun to me is going all out on the red channel, which is as saturated as the 5150/6505 it is based on but with more hollow sounding mids and more complexity, making it sound a little more clear and articulate.
