Hey what's going on Expo. I'm the DVD guy and today I'm gonna go over the Kramer and it's the Focus Fatboy and it's the or VT-211S which I have no idea what this stuff is for. These are just basically the cheap knock offs over fungustratic caster. The label was most identical I mean the real big difference is a little bit different in the hot head stock and then the quality. Big time in the quality I mean you can go out and pick up this guitar for about new hundred box. I saw the names on news for under eight dollars and you really can get this super cheap but that's what they are. They are cheap guitars and they are made to basically any -- you have a five-year-old six-year-old kid who wants to play the guitar so bad and you can afford it. This might be the way to go but if you really like to play guitar and your a little bit older and you want some things that's gonna last you this is not definitely the way to go. You have to bet the pick ups art terrible on this. I wouldn't recommend picking this up at all. You can play through an ad and does pick up some sound but I just think they're real bad. I had problems ahead right away two main keys breaking how to replace with generic parts I mean I used the tender parts I can find and make them fit. I also had an end broke the strap peg on the end broke right away and I had to replace all the knobs because they fall off so easy that that's what you gotta do. So I mean generally I mean it plays like a regular guitar I mean that's a little bit finer and tender. And this is basically called the fatboy model because it supposed to mock a previous model of the -- fender strap boy. As you can see it's not very fat. The fat boy is actually very thick model from tender and this is not really anything thicker so I don't know why they even called that. As you can see right on here this is the kinda more rocky pick up that it has but again as what I said even though this is a hum bucker I mean if your inventive you wanna try to a prince your guitar you probably easily can go out and buy some some tender parts such as like the wiring and your tone knob you can change all that stuff to get a good quality stuff and probably just pick up a good hum buckers and get a different plate to fit in or just run the hum bucker if you want something really rocky. Other than that I had a lot of trouble when I usually play the eleventh and twelfth strings. This thing wouldn't do it I really have a lot of problems trying to rearrange to play a heavier string like that and sorry so the thing is if I didn't want to play that the file down the knot or the bridge so that it could fit and I was supposing that I wouldn't be bothered with it. This is -- you get these things cheap when you try out and just to review it you know so alright well this is the Kramer Focus Fatboy. I guess if you can rate it on value I'd say it's a two but as a guitar player I'd say it's really a one. So I wanna fight for this sorry and the big deal is probably 'coz the pick up just don't really sound a lot great. So alright thanks.
