    Default Gary Kramer Illusionist - Magma

    Here's the one I'm reviewing on VK, I'm way late on getting it done, but thought I'd throw up a few pictures of this guitar. Its pure sexy in this color. Hard to believe its made overseas.

    Although I'm not fond of 3 pup guitars, that thing looks killer!

    I think the Magma is such a killer color, the other two are really nice but that orange pops and you don't see a lot of well done guitars in a similar color.

    South Korea. Neck is very similiar to my Cathedral, although they are slightly different. Plays exceptional, these are great guitars.

    Hoping to have the review done early next week.

    A beautiful creation in a beautiful colour. The "fake pickguard" thing always gets my attention. So unusual.

    It's like a candy orange. Makes me want to take a bite out of it

    Looks killer though.

    What's the price on those puppies?

    On garykramerguitars.com it says that they have a Floyd Rose original? Is it trully german made... or is it a FRT-1000 like voodoo666 was saying in another post?

    Wow! What a cool looking guitar! I can't wait for your review Mike. $799 shipped seems like a steal to me. To bad the 'Super Pros' won't be able to get over the Korean made aspect or the brass block issue. But hey, they're 'Super Pros'.

    Not to knock Gary because he's a great friend, but I think Leo was behind the design on that one. It is very cool and gives an otherwise flat superstrat guitar some character and depth. Yea, looks are secondary to playability, but it does make a difference. I plan on gigging it this weekend to see how it works out live too.

    The American Illusionists were awesome too. I just love those USA necks the they used on those custom shop models.

    "Super Pro's" have the option of ordering professional guitars from the custom shop.
