Real old school tight grain ebony fingerboards on these.

I have one from the black run.

I have a Kramer Nightswan Aztec, absolutely my favorite guitar. I bought it new and still have the bill lol.

I don’t see any actual tubes in this. Looks like op amps from the photos. I’m beginning to think the tube version was a lie for promotional/copyright purposes to add mystery. I’ve looked into the patent and 16v dc for the tubes makes no sense anyway unless it’s intentionally running them as a starved plate.

I own one of the originals which I bought from House Of Music.

It was a Buddy Blaze guitar in the Whitesnake video not a Nightswan.He was not yet endorsed by Kramer.

Wrong, the Focus guitars came with Floyd Rose Fine Tuner models. Strikers came with Non Fine Tuner Floyds

I wished they would make the nightswan with derek frigos finish on it which had different color triangles on it!

Not the original trem length....looks like 80mm.....too long ...not like eddies

The PDF of the schematics is on gearspace there’s a thread there with a link to the original 402 schematic

If you're not gonna dig up Edward Van Halen's body to cut off his fingers and sew them on to your hands so you can play like Van Halen, don't bother building a guitar exactly like Eddie's if you can't play exactly like Eddie. 😅 waste of money. Just buy a Striped series EVH and be done with it.

I have the exact Stagemaster shown at the very beginning of this video that Eddie is holding 😊

Kramer was never the same after Gibson bought it up. Facts

I used to always play the Kramer Nightswan whenever I went into my local guitar store. Had a great feeling neck that I liked.

And in 2020, they released the Jat black and the Aztec finish options as well on the new nightstand. I have one of the Aztecs and I have to say they're really nice guitars.

U high

He recorded 1st album with the might might trem or fender trem? Cool video

Creates title claiming authority then posts video where he "doesn't really know much"

27 frets??

I have the reissue Nightswan Aztec made in Indonesia I believe. I love the guitar!! It plays great, fretwork is outstanding. I got it from a dealer who got it fully setup though, so I don’t know how it came out of the factory. I can’t wait to swap the JB for a full shred and that F1000 for an original FR. In my opinion they are a great bang for the buck but they need a professional setup.

homie....you are recording audio tech vids, can you use a de-esser please or a pop filter? jesus

Great job enjoyed it very much.Made me subscribe to your channel.Thank you looking forward to more!

I saw Floyd Rose band here in Spokane back in 1982.

I think you missed one model, it’s a ESP Flicker base with Floyd Rose mounted on top. Theres only one picture I found with Akira Takasaki holding his Random Star with one mounted on it.

Hammer Boomerlang

JB is jazz/blues It's not Jeff Beck...

Coolest guitar I’ve ever seen. Hockey stick headstock, blade pickups, natural finish. Gotta have it

I just purchased a Fernandes ST85 BG Brad Gillis Model that has the original Head Banker and, I have to say, I am SO impressed at how well it stays in tune. my first tenure into the NFT Floyd-ish designs. thank you for the historic background. great vid collection

These 80s pointy floyd axes were killed by the Les Paul ironically enough. They have their place but it's mostly in that era.

Fantastic players instrument Miss mine ... Yep, same neck dealy...

First one I saw was Randy Hanson's long before it was commercially sold.

And yet They said there is no magic bullet device

I had a yellow one. Miss it. Great guitar.

One of the many things Eddie was bitter about was he came up with the fine tuner idea and Floyd said,”Great idea and screw you Eddie Van Halen!” Then he got the patent behind his back according to Eddie. Ed coulda used that extra money

I bought a beautiful white Rockinger Super Strat ("The Strat") in 1987 that was equipped with a Rockinger Tru Tune tremolo system. It was a very good and reliable system. I preferred it to the Floyd Rose, as you could adust the string action for every string separately with the Rockinger Tremolo. Maybe the Floyd Rose was better suited for 80's shredder antics, but for me as an average player, it worked really well. I found the following text on the website of the onwer of Rockinger company, Dieter Gölsdorf: "Shortly afterwards, we had our first stand at the Frankfurt Music Fair [...] Our [stand] neighbor was KRAMER-USA. Their boss, Dennis Berardi, saw our tremolo and was fascinated. Yes, the Americans were enthusiastic about our fine-tune tremolos [...]. The contract was signed in no time at all and we had to increase the production volume considerably.

why would you do a video about vintage Floyds and just say “my guess” for half of them lmfao

At first I was thinking...YES!!! Then I could get everything I've ever wanted for CHEAP. but then I thought about it again... I'll be 65 years old... or dead. At that point.. WHO GIVES A SHIT

Brad Gillis says (depending on the interview) Eddie got the first, Santana or Neil Schon got second and he got the third.... it's bizarre that Eddie had so much to do with the first Floyd's then he goes over to musician who uses gotoh. I mean it's not bizarre the I did that, I went from having 3 floyd originals to 3 gotohs but it's because I got tired of losing the little brass pieces under the saddles. Nah. I'll stick with the gotohs.

I recently bought a 1984 original FR with a brass block and brass fine tuners. Put it on my Japanese Jackson dinky strat. Stays in tune like a dream. Great investment. ❤

So what happened!?!?

the 2nd gen stagemasters have the exact same body as the ESP Horizon, both launched in 1987 and both made by ESP.

I have the new Sm1 in orange crush and the metal black. Both are Outstanding instruments. For 80s metal and hard rock these are perfect. All 5 pickup positions sound great and the coil tap also works great on 3 pickups. The floyd 1000 seems to be built well, I've had no issues in the two years ive owned both guitars. The necks have a unique feel and take some getting used to but once you do they are superb. Very balanced body and gorgeous finishes. Over all the best value i can think of. Been playing 20 years and own jacksons, gibsons, washburns, kramers, fenders, among others. I put these kramer Sm1s at the top of the list. All i did was add strap locks and adjust the height a alittle and both are stage ready. The thru neck is very stable and easy to keep in tune. Over all couldn't be happier. They need to make a metallic green next ❤

I believe that I owned the gray and white one you have on the wall. I bought it new from Ed Roman in CT and then sold it back to him when he moved to LV. It had EMG pickups.

All usa custom shop and hand made and expensive. I think in 89 the retail was equal to Jackson.

Do you have PDFs of washburn catalogs pre 1990? It would be great if they were on your website.

I love the ones that say original on the bridge

can I install this to my Ibanez
