Steely Dan Elliott Randall KRAMER AMERICAN SHOWSTER SAVANT II Elliott describes this guitar: "This is another from my 'studio-super-guitar-road-case' - for use in hard-rockin' music! When the client wanted that overboard sound, this is the axe I'd reach for. Designed by Rick Excellente to be a 'next-step' in solid body electric guitars' technology, his body design incorporates an internal metal rod. The idea for the metal piecing on the body was to properly balance the response of the treble strings to the bass strings. By utilizing the metal inserts, the body doesn't need as much mass for resonance and therefore can be thinned out substantially. For an instrument of its size and width to be able to vibrate for such a long period of time is quite remarkable. And its lines are so sexy! It should be noted that, in all probability, not many Showsters did see the light of day before the demise of Kramer. So you could call this one a bit of a 'rarie'."
