Shredder search update: - tried the G&L. quite liked it. played it for 30 mins in the shop, was ready to pull the trigger, then they told me it had sold earlier that day ?? oh well. - tried the Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas at GC -- needed a good setup, but I didn't find much I liked about, even with that in mind. Can say I'm not a big fan of unfinished necks. Was sitting in the GC parking lot, feeling kinda bummed, and got a text about a Hamer from my local CL. Guy had an amazingly clean 1990 Hamer Centaura in the granite finish. I bought it on the spot after playing it. This thing smokes. Love the neck. It sounds great -- though I will definitely switch out the single coils. Look for a NGD here soon. thanks for all the help. I dunno, the Hamer feels like home

Congratulations, Case! Can't even begin to explain why, but I don't hate this.

Despite my agreeing with velorush on the Dinky being in the upper echelon of shredders, I'd have to concede JohnnyB's point- the EMG's in this are an acquired taste and fairly style-specific. Though, I have to say that the EMG 85 cleans up quite nicely. Slap a more versatile set of passives in there and you got a real contender. Outside of the limitations of the p'ups, it's exceptionally good at what it does. As the comic book hero Wolverine states, "I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do ain't very nice."

Love that color on the one in JohnnyB's post! Honestly though, if I were in the market for a shredder, this would be the answer! I'm not in the market for a shredder but this is still kicking me in the head telling me it's the answer! If you're as old as me (granted, fewer and fewer are each day), THIS was the quintessential shredder. The Bengal paint scheme is just beautiful, beautiful, lump-free gravy!

No, ugly Jon Kammerer guitars. Period. Sorry. Not my style. I like my electric guitars to look like, well, like electric guitars- not a misbegotten union between a teenager's wood shop project and playable, non-representational art.
