#15 Sí Y&T es una de mis bandas favoritas, estaba buscando el foro de Dave, pero lo ha cerrado, una pena, porque contaba anecdotas y todo el equipo que usaba, y contó toda la historia de ese cambio de mástil.
De Kramer usaba las Nightswan y las Baretta, como se ve en el vídeo de Don't be afraid of the dark.

Esto decía del cambio de mástil en una entrevista en Inglaterra
Last time we spoke to Dave Meniketti his old faithful Gibson Les Paul had to have a new neck on it, we never realized how fanatical Y&T fans are until we asked him after the show if it came back ok?
Dave Meniketti: “Yeah I got it back and you know what? I brought it out onstage and it got a bigger cheer than I did ha, I’m not joking, fans were emailing the Gibson custom shop when it was being repaired saying ”Hey guys you had better do a great job, don’t mess up his sound” and all this crazy stuff . . They made the new neck exactly the same feel as my original, they distressed it to look like my old one, coloring the binding to match the guitar body, and even stamping the serial number in the peg head. I could have bought a new one with what it cost me to have repaired but it was worth it. I made sure I got my old neck back. When I first plugged my guitar into an amp I didn’t like the sound of it, the second and third time was the same. I thought shit I may as well sell it but then the fourth time it sounded ok I thought hold on a minute it sounds better now”.
BB’s: Maybe it just needed some fret miles and some sweat on the pick ups.
Meniketti: "Maybe, but its fine. I played it tonight did it sound ok?"
Ok is an understatement, the sustain, tone and controllability Dave gets from his Les Paul is admired not only by the fans but by musicians alike
