Great Beginner To Wail On

2008-05-01
The price of this Fatboy is great, for a hundred dollars I wasnt expecting much, but then when it was delivered I took it out and felt how light it was, the beautiful laquer finish (in red and white for me) and I started playing, then I realized why the box said "Kramer: Born to Rock Hard" It has a nice meaty sound to it, guess that's why they called it fat boy, Have'nt had any problems with it staying in tune or anything but there are two things that have been negatives for me. Number one my tremolo nut (the one that you screw the bar in to) is split and will not hold my tremolo still for anything, my other complaint would be the fret buzz. Other than that buy it.

reliable for its price

for 99 bucks your get areally nice looking playing guitar with nice action good sounding pickups and it seems pretty sturdy i didnt give it 5 stars because 1 of the neck pickups doesnt work but i had problems with fed ex getting my order lost so i blame it on that if you get yours with the neck pickup working u just got a great heavy metal guitar similar to other brands guitars that cost 200-300 dollars onnly its 99 bucks a steal

Good Guitar, Fantastic Price

This was my first guitar and for the price, it blows any other Strat copy away. But that is not to say it is without it's problems; fret buzz is a bit of a problem and is diffucult to solve even by raising the action and adjusting the truss rod, the lower tone pot is useless but this is case on most inexpensive guitars of this style, and finally the guitar has trouble staying in tune, this can be solved by adding locking tuners or if your are gung-ho about this axe a locking tremolo. The pickups sound great, the guitar is not that heavy, and the finish (mine was sunburst) was beautiful, if you are looking for a first guitar, overlook the Squiers and other cheap guitars and cut your teeth on this axe.

a steal
