Forgot just how awesome this guitar is.

[Hellbat]

Nice fiddle, only thing that I don't love is the inlays.

I have a memory boy delay as well, love the nice warm delay tone it has. It kind of reminds me of the 80s Boss BBD analog delays.

[straycat]

Yeah it is a great analog delay pedal with chorus/vibrato too.I use just a little chorus to open the amp up a bit.
I restrung 10 guitars tonight and just had to play this one for a few min it was calling me.
This one is mahogany wings on a maple center.Just a bitchin' guitar.

I love those Kramer stagemasters always wanted one.

Were those made by ESP? I have a 1980's Horizon with the Jackson headstock and love mine. The single coil isn't slanted in mine, and my OFR isn't recessed. It is a fantastic guitar, or the Custom Custom is a fantastic pickup, or a little of both.

I know the center is maple but I don't have a clue as to what the wings are made of. It's fairly heavy.

How do you know the wings aren't something else? I've heard the painted ones were basswood ( just messin' with ya).

I love those Kramer stagemasters always wanted one.

Me, too!! Those are the coolest looking Kramers, and I love the slanted single coil... Jake E. Lee style.

I believe the wings on those are made of Mahogany

before the company folded they also put out a couple that were 24 3/4" scale and had Floyd Pro's

and yes, they were made by ESP. all the "US" Kramer post 1985 (except the Larivee made Paul Deans) were manufactured by ESP

Definately the best of the Kramer stuff from a consistent quality perspective.

Nice one...!!!

I had a Standard like that.

[straycat]

Yeah its mahogany the original owner had to drill the jack hole for a stereo jack when he put EMG's in it.
It has the original Schaller golden 50 in the bridge and a Fender single coil in it now.Coil tap switch were the tone used to be.
I'm the 3rd owner and I have kept up with this guitar from day one when it arrived at Willcutt's guitar shop in 87.
The original owner was a guitar tech at Willcutt's for years.
He traded with another dealer 40 miles south and that dealer had it hanging in his shop for years and I finally struck a deal and got it 6 years ago.
I had an ex Kramer sales rep see it at the Cinci guitar show and he said wow that is a sweet 87 stagie.

[Frigo89]

it should have a Duncan in the bridge, a JB (or JBJ)

that would be a late 87 if it is infact an 87

[DonP]

My Horizon has the three knobs. I have it wired as vol neck, vol bridge and tone. The tone pulls to split the Custom Custom. Combined with the single coil neck, it's humbucking with both pickups.

[straycat]

Frigo The schallers is what it came with new that I do know.I've had lots of Kramers some with Duncans some with Schallers.
