That's a cool looking Zakk Van Halen guitar you have there. The circles seemed perfectly centered. Congrats on the geetar.

I wanted one of these SO badly in high school, the closest I came was my ST300.
A good ax indeed, But the Baretta, well thats like the head cheerleader...
"Everybody Wants Some..."
As for the new ones, I wouldn't say no.
The Classic red and white are cool, and I REALLY like the "Diver Down" Version

that lasted about a week....

Didn't try this one out yet, but I love my Kramer Pacer Vintage Tiger. My guitar for all the shredding stuff.

Not true,
"In 1984 and 1985, Kramer switched to Duncan pickups, and the Baretta was included for the change. The Seymour Duncan JB became the standard, still featured in the Zebra color scheme. The majority of Barettas featured reverse Zebras, but there were some Schallers and Duncans that were installed as standard zebra, with the creme coil being closer to the Floyd."

And it is a Schaller.

One of these showed up in the used stash at my local GC and it was gone in a friggin' single day, I never even had a chance to convince myself I needed it, much less get up there and sample it in person, grrr!
Congrats!

Yeah, they do indeed look awesome. But don't get it just for the looks; it sounds and plays as good as you're gonna get. I wrote a short review about mine right here:
