ESP Guitar:
This
is an ESP Stratcaster. I'm not 100% sure, but the bridge is
probably a Floyd Rose and the bridge pickup a Seymour Duncan
"Custom" as always.
Fender
Guitars:
Checkerboard
This
is the famous Checkerboard guitar. Ronni paid only $150(!) in
Norway for this '71 Fender Stratocaster with a Rockinger tremolo,
a Seymour Duncan "Custom" pickup in the bridge position,
and an Italian made "Magnetics" pickup in the neck position.
From the 17th fret and above are scalloped. The neck is attached
to the body with 4 screws instead of 3. Original tuning keys were
replaced with Schaller tuning keys.
Fender
This
is a very unique "Le Tekro, 1/4 Stepper Guitar" known
as "Quarter Stepper". An American craftsman named
Bernie Hamburger made this guitar, and this is a proto-type.
It had a Kramer logo as you can see in the picture to your left,
but it is not a Kramer. This guitar has twice as many frets
as normal guitars do below the 15th fret. Normal guitars have
frets like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5..., but this Quarter Stepper has frets
of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5... Black frets are
the extra frets added to this guitar, and if you play those
frets, you get a quartertone instead of bending a string like
you do on the normal guitars. If you play white frets, you get
the same tone as normal guitars. Ronni used this guitar in the
solo to Wisdom on Intuition, on Rypdal & Tekro II, and several
others. He's wanted some guitar manufacturers to rebuild this
guitar, but he has no luck yet...

Hamburger
Guitars Cont.:
Hamburger
12 Strings
An
American craftsman named Bernie Hamburger who made Ronni's Quarter
Stepper made this 12-string guitar. The body is semi hollow and
the high quality woods were used to build guitar. Ronni played
Angels Ride with this guitar during the Firefly tour.
Kramer
Guitars:
This
is a Kramer strat,but it used to have a Fender logo on the head
because of the endorsement. An EMG in the neck position and probably
a Seymour Duncan in the bridge position. The bridge is a Floyd
Rose.
This
is a Kramer Custom model. I'm not sure what kind of pickups are
installed, but the bridge is a Rockinger.
