Im not a pro guitar player, but i do play guitar since i was 13 (now im 37). I can't describe my self as a good guitar player but im not bad either. Anyhow, back to our subject.
I had a 2 years break from guitar due to family obligations. Since things got better now, i have decided to make my self a present, to buy me a new guitar.
Im mostly into heavy and thrash metal so i was looking for a guitar with FR tremolo system (since my other 2 guitars don't have - gibson flying v and an american strato), so my "research" was emphasised on jackson guitars, schecters and etc.
By accident, i fell into kramer's reissue models. What actually impressed me with these models are the low prices with the good feautures they come with. Finally, the SM1 was the guitar that attracted me the most, as it has the looks of a heavy metal guitar.
The features from the specs that i read are pretty much fine as the seymour duncan SH4 bridge pickup is pretty much ok and the FR 1000 tremolo is a top quality system.
I was then trying to find some videos on the internet reviewing this guitar, but couldn't find anything that could convince me that this is the guitar i am looking for.
So i took the risk and ordered it.....and then the unboxing day was finally here.
BEST GUITAR I EVER HAD !!!
Good sound, tremolo works perfect with the handle not falling down, frets radius are just suitable for me, 24 frets easily accesible, easy and comfortable playing.....this guitar is just great.
In my personal opinion, SM1 is a much better guitar compared to the €1000 LTDs when it comes to quality.
So if u are looking for shredding machine in a good price, this is the one!!
