Wayne Kramer Strat

I don't normally do signature guitars or Strats... but I'd do that.

Oh my god, it's so cool they made that. I have an MC5 poster with Wayne rocking the original that's been on my wall for like 7 years.

This alone almost makes up for all the indistinguishable sunburst or black "artist" model strats they've been dumping for the past 20 years.

Resemblance ?

A cool choice.

I can think of two examples were a nations flag looks cool on a guitar and this is one of them. Pity St Georges Cross looks hideous on guitars and the Union Flag even worse.

i like that. wouldn't buy it obviously, but it's a nice sig.

I want the backplate that reads "This Tool Kills Hate."

This is fantasticly gaudy, and reasonably priced.

a beauty. just that's i put 3 humbuckers on teh strat

oh wow... i kinda like that. minus the US-flag thing, of course.

Pat.

Fuck ya.

Kick out the jams on that mother fucker!

1300 is a lot but would be a cool CV project.

Very cool looking. Far FAR superior to 90% of the rest of the sig models they've made.

america, motherfuckers.

like it, but i hate that it's relic'd

Sweet!

I'm a patriotic American . 13 years military . 4 of them overseas . But that guitar is just silly . Only a step above flag boxers .





And the Union Jack and St George look pretty cool on a guitar . Seen a ES-335 done with the white and the red cross . Pretty trick . And the Noel Gallegher signature ? Pretty spiff.

Green is grasser on the other side maybe? In the UK a St George's cross or U Jack makes you look like an utter twat, Gallegher definitely included. I will agree that flag guitars or not my thing, but the pedigree of Wayne Kramer's strat where the flag symbolises subversion and rebellion instead of ignorant nationalism is a worthy exception. Plus the fucking PAF in the middle is awesome.

i never realized how much cedric bixler-zavala ripped off rob tyner. maybe not in vocal styling, but mos def on stage presence and theatrics.

that orange setup looks rad as shit.

Pretty much my thoughts on Max Cavaleras old BC Rich with the Brazil flag.


I thought Gallaghers sig was Man City Blue lol, or was that his old Epi? The Union flag is too Townsend/'pop art' or like the St George Cross it raises suspicion of an undercurrence of racism. Shame really.

Incidentally Wayne got the idea from Pete Townshends union jack coat...

The Epiphone Supernova was definitely blue. Noel himself played Union Flag guitars but i'm not sure if they were offered as a finish on his signature guitar. I know Aria made Union Flag guitars too.
