Guitar Information

KRAMER introduced the Nightswan in 1987 as a Vivian Campbell Signature model. The Nightswan was based on the custom Shredder guitar built from Warmoth parts by Buddy Blaze for Campbell in the mid 1980s. This guitar had a scaled down super strat body had a 24.75" scale length bolt-on neck with reverse headstock, two Seymour Duncan humbuckers (in the bridge and middle positions). The dot fingerboard inlays have an unusual diagonal vertical spacing
The NightSwan was available with graphic finishes. Lightning bolts and light or dark blue polka dots were the most common. The Aztec and holoflash finishes are more unusual. They also came in black, white, red, burgundy and blue sparkle finishes.

My Thoughts

The nightswan was the guitar any kid from the period wanted it was the best of the best, this one has a great neck (very small) and is amazing to play, would love a holoflash or aztec but these are rarer than hens teeth and very expensive, there has recently been a reissue model done which by all accounts is pretty good.
