Well, actually this came on Thursday - but I've been pretty busy all weekend.It's a Kramer Baretta Infinity Sustainer. It's got a device built into the neck pickup that generates a magnetic field which causes the string to vibrate into eternity - or until the battery dies. hahaha.
I've wanted one for years, but they were discontinued. A batch of them recently popped up on eBay, and with some detective work and a few emails, I found a new/old stock one for $100 less than they sold new.
Something that was really cool was that when I got it, I discovered they had re-created the classic Baretta neck profile from the 80's Baretta's! It's fairly flat and thin with rounded edges and I've just loved the profile ever since the first time I played one.

I'll try to do a clip tonight. These retailed for $399 a few years ago, I snagged this one NOS for $302 + shipping. Kramer must have been a bunch of perfectionists, I've bought a couple different guitars blemished, and never found anything wrong with them.
P.S. My dog has good taste in guitars!
