There is less than nothing wrong with that Kramer. It made it an objectively better looking instrument

There's magic dust flowing from the knobs too, so who knows what they'll do to your tone! :D

my one memory related to any kind of dealings with the steam punk community was a friend dragging me to a con and having to pretend to be her boyfriend because a lot of dudes in their 40's and 50's kept coming onto her. honestly i know furries get a lot of shit but i've had much worse experiences with steam punk folk.

I wonder where all the steampunk bands playing all of these guitars are. I haven't ever come across a single one I think.

I think the crossover of Steampunk and wannabe inventor/maker is much higher than Steampunk and musician much to the detriment of these poor instruments.

I can think of only one. And they just might be crazy enough to make use of that one. :D
