After many years and many many guitars mine was and still is my 1983 Kramer Pacer Imperial(Poplar body) (Unfinished Maple neck from the Kramer Factory) that I bought new. I installed a Seymour Duncan Seymourizer II Bridge pickup around 1984 and replaced the neck pickup around 1987/88 EMG passive single coil but ihave been thinking about going back to a Duncan 59 neck. I played the frets flat on this guitar and I finally had it refretted a few years ago because I had to trust the luthier to not mess it up. I also have a number two 1983 Kramer Pacer Imperial that I play alot, it currently has a Mighty Mite 1400 9K bridge pickup and stock Kramer neck pickup in it. 6100 Jumbo frets are my favorite frets. I didn't care for the 6105 frets on the EBMM axis Amber quilt but at the time(2001) when I bought it, it was the closest thing on the market to my 83 Kramer and it was comfortable to play but the 10" radius neck and I didn't get along well over time but I did like the guitar alot and it did see alot of play time for many years.
I also have a W/B Franky that I built in 2008 that I am fond of since it's neck is most similar to my Kramers. I also have a Jake E Lee tribute guitar that I built in 2009 but the neck isn't as comfortable to play but it plays and sounds great.
I have since owned these guitars over the years but the Kramers are where it is at for me personally and all guitar gas has ceased.
In no particular order:
EBMM Axis x 2, Gibson Flying V, Explorer, Dean Import Dimebag, Gibson S335 solid body(my first decent electirc guitar), Gibson Les Paul Custom, Edwards Les Paul lemondrop, USA Dean Baby Z, Fender Strats, J-Frog Superstrat, Charvel San Dimas, EVH RWB striped series, 83 Kramer Carrera, Ibanez RG x 2(when I was in a Petrucci phase)
. That's pretty much my list over the years and I'm now down to four guitars in rotation with a 5th Kramer KNE poplar body/ Musikraft maple neck/pao ferro fretboard(think NUNO) waiting for paint and assembly.
