This guitar sounds great - it gets a real gritty sound but can also clean up quite nicely. The Kramer signature guitar is a hard tail so it is a bit heavier than other Strats - but I think that is what allows it to get such a throaty sound. I love the Seymour Duncan in the middle pickup position - a favorite spot of mine on normal Strats. It gets a slightly bassier sound but not muddy and not so much high end as a bridge pickup. Perfect for dirty blues sounds, proto-punk sounds or just raucous rock. Blends perfectly with my (mostly Fender) sound. I really can't say enough good things about this guitar. The radius was a bit to get used to but after a band practice or two I've completely adapted. One caveat - the frets were pretty sharp when I received the guitar. A quick trip to the local repair shop and I was good to go by the next day.
