My jealousy is so strong, right now. I'm curious which pickup position you prefer on this style guitar?
I definitely prefer neck pickup with thin bodied short scaled guitars. Bridge pickup just kinda sounds a bit plinky and weak. I bought the bronco cause I had a Fender Swinger clone but really wanted a trem. The bronco trem is good but even with swapped pickups the guitar is just a bit wussy. It sounds great with fuzz but clean not for me.

The neck is off a Fender Swinger clone. It's a 20.5 inch scale length so really tiny. Feels great in my big hands.
It's on a Mustang body. I never really liked mustang switches and liked the way that the swinger sounded so now its swinger neck. Curtis Novak Duosonic Neck pickup. Custom mashed together mustang/bronco/duosonic pickup and a mustang trem with the staytrem arm. It's cool
Not a guitar as such, but my original bass setup.... Still got it and it is great. Done loads of work to it and upgraded the amplifier setup.... Now working on my SG project.

Vintage les pauls or sgs don't stimulate me anymore. I can't get gibsonerections anymore.

What do the pickups in that 250 sound like?
Thankfully they sound great, although I've only tried them on the lower wattage tube amps at the house for now. I assume they are single coils although ive read them referred to as mini humbuckers. They are very very quiet. I've only tried a handful of fuzz with the Kramer and the single coils are less picky and sound nice with everything I've thrown at them, but I'm more into single coils than humbuckers anyways for fuzz. They seem a little tighter and crisp than the humbuckers. Those humbuckers are Very microphonic and that's great for the noisy stuff I like to get into. Umm, both guitars sound extremely rich and I found that running the Raptio with them and some fuzz yields some incredible harmonically dense textures, just awesome in a way the Raptio has never sounded. Overall both of these guitars seem to have more treble energy than probably most of my other guitars. I'm really happy with both of them, but I havnt run them through the big amps yet.
Great description. I wonder if they are like Firebird pickups? That was my initial thought when I saw them. I love these aluminum necked Kramers....As long as I am sitting down. I wonder if these HB's are early Dimarzios, as it's where the DMZ came into their naming system later on, or if they are something else? The thing I've found about mine is that you don't always hear the overtones till you record. I think it's an F major that will get all sorts of freaky harmonics. Enjoy. They both look beautiful.
