I'm sure the Eddie thing has a lot to do with many of the people who want them...and the era has a lot to do with many of the people who don't want them...the fact is that if you try a properly set-up American Kramer from the 80's it is about as good as it gets.
The sounds from the H/S/S ones are almost limitless (I've had people mistake mine for a Tele and a Les Paul in recordings) and the feel is smooth as can be.
Anyway...I'm ok with many people 'not being into them' because that allows me to get them for $400 or so...and they kick the snot out of most stuff on the market today for 3 times that price brand new. I guess I hope people keep buying $1100 LTD's and PRS and the like...that'll allow me to get a few more (when the kybosh is lifted).
