This is my first new guitar post in the forum...about the first seven string I've acquired!
I was introduced the Turbulence design back in 2009 when a friend purchased the original 36 fret version...I was completely enamored with these things ever since.
I had been considering purchasing one for myself for a while, but when I actually looked into it, GKG was sold out of all Turbulence models!![wallbash :wallbash: :wallbash:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wallbash.gif)
I decided to commit to getting a seven string at the beginning of this month, and a few weeks ago I was on the verge of buying a Jeff Loomis model when the Turbulence magically popped up on eBay.
It looked to be in great shape, was signed by luthier Leo Scala, and had a price of $800 shipped! So I couldn't resist.
Some general specs: 7 string, 29 frets, mahogany body, maple 5 ply neck, Original Floyd Rose trem, coil tap for both humbuckers...You can find all the specs at: Gary Kramer Guitar - Turbulence 729-R "Violex"
After playing on it for a few hours, I'm totally stoked on this guitar. It's a perfect mix of unique design and ergonomic comfortability...
7 strings....... yeah!
Also...I'd like to thank my credit card for making this purchase possible.![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
