Snake Sabo

Something new from the Kramer camp - Dave Sabo's Baretta. The newer generation of players are definitely not familiar with the name but Sabo, together with Scotti Hill, are the guitar duo of Skid Row. This is a late 80s - early 90s outfit, an extension of the hair metal music without the hair, if you will. I managed to follow the band's first two albums before being distracted by the grunge scene. Anyway, if you know me well, I'm always into single pickup guitars & this one has my attention. The lone humbucker is an 85-T designed by Gibson's Jim DeCola. The FR1000 bridge is equipped with an EVH D-Tuna for some drop tuning moments. The deal breaker is definitely that snake graphic; a love-hate affair. Listen to the snake man himself as he talks you through things:
