Here I'll show you "99 guitars" at any given time on a rotating basis. These are guitars that I have personally owned (except these two tasty morsals. These belong to George Lynch! This was a great photo op though!). Each will have a brief summary of the guitar. Most of these guitars where purchased through various newspapers, second hand stores, trades or eBay. Some will be rare, some will be cheap, but all will be genuine!
GUITAR #96 - ca. '84-'86 - KRAMER USA Baretta.
Mid 80's American made in NJ. This is THE GUITAR Eddie Van Halen Made famous. It has the tilt back angled headstock. The original Floyd Rose trem.. However this was modified with a Killer EMG. Great balance and looks. It came with the original hardshell case. I paid $300 in a second hand store for it in 2006.

I knew I wanted to play guitar once my brother told me I had to hear this guy he just heard on the radio. "...his name was Stevie Ray or something...". I immediately walked to Tape World in the local mall and bought it unheard. Thank god I was introduced to Stevie Ray Vaughan in 1983. My world changed that day. I then started taking lessons with my buddy Frank. We jammed in the basement to Zeppelin (no Stairway To heaven) and AC/DC with some friends. I had the opportunity to see SRV live 3 times. Starting in 1996, I had the privilege of meeting Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton of "Double Trouble" several times with both Storyville and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. I have fallen in love with 1,000's of different interpetations of guitars I have been lucky enough to come across in my life. I look forward to many more...

I have an original 1985, that i bought used in 1986 and would like to get back in playing condition but threw the volume pot away about 10-15 years ago since it was shot. Unfortunately I can't remember the pot value. If you could take a picture of the back of your volume pot if you ever open the electronics housing I would be grateful.
