Now those graphics are oldschool.

Re: Kramer 1984 Graphic\'s

I played those guitars at the Kramer Konvention I attended during summer NAMM.

Those graphics are actually vinal with clear coat over them. Cool components, but they lack the overall quality "feel" of a well built guitar.

I'm not saying they are some cheap-ass Korean import PILE type axe, just not Top-Notch like an old USA bolt-On Jackson Strat or Charvel.

I would rate it as equal to a Fender USA Strat guitar. Nothing special, but not TOO bad either..

Re: Kramer 1984 Graphic\'s

it sais at the bottom of the specs: Handcrafted In The USA. And on the back of the headstock also? Are they lying? I wouldn`t pay $700 unless it was. Jack.

Re: Kramer 1984 Graphic\'s

I think that the "Handcrafted" comment is a little misleading there.. If memory serves me, these guitars are like the old "American" Series of Kramers from back in the 80's.. The parts are made overseas, but the final build, setup, inspectoin, etc.. is done in the U.S.

I don't know where the parts are made today, but the "American" Series guitars were mostly Japanese.

Re: Kramer 1984 Graphic\'s

Yes, I remember that dude. Well, most of the hardweare is Schaller so that is good, the pickup is Gibson, the body is alder and the neck is maple both woods grown in the USA, so there is a possibility, the body and neck were made in Korea and it was assembled here, because Schaller is German. So the guitar starts out with high quality appointments, but fit and finish are important also, man I kinda want one and they come with a TKL case. Oh the agony of it all [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I like the red black bullseye. Jack.
