His goal was to perfect the famous aluminum-neck design pioneered by Travis Bean and Kramer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic Kramers were notorious for being freezing cold to the touch and incredibly neck-heavy (causing severe \"neck dive\"). Vaccaro solved this by designing a wood-encased aluminum neck core. The core provides incredible stability, immense sustain, and a quick attack, while the exterior wood sleeve provides a warm, traditional feel and better balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vaccarro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68019132301555,"sku":"68VCR000","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img50527.jpg?v=1793319190","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.com\/products\/used-1999-2002-vaccaro-x-ray-p-j-bass-body-black-with-original-pearloid-pickguard","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
