1987 Kramer Flashback

[Mr Graphic]

I ordered this brand new within a week of seeing the Guitar Player magazine ad. I told the guy I wanted one "exactly" like the red one in the ad. Took about 1 month to get it, and I think I paid $685.00 w/case. A few weeks after I got it, I noticed mine had 21 frets, and the guitar in the ad had 22. I called Kramer, and the very first person I spoke with informed me I received the wrong guitar, and to bring it back to the dealer and they would send a replacement immediately. Just the fact that they were aware of it before I even called, I figured maybe I had something special. I never did follow up on that. Anyway, I haven't looked at it or played it in years. I just gave it a complete once over, and it rocks! I'll be keeping this one out for awhile [img]graemlins/band.gif[/img]

Did he ever play that in any Cars videos? If he did, what color was it?

Wow, I don't remember those. They're a lot like the Charvel spectrum/Model 8 (which in turn were like the fender Bass's). Thanks for sharing!

I believe that 21 fretters were the norm for EEs.

It was inspired by JB....deatils here:

Holy Shit! That's freaky. I was watching VH1's Hits channel this morning and I saw an old cars video, I didn't catch the song, not one of their more popular ones, where he was playing that axe. It was the band playing outside on a dried up lake bed. Cool looking axe.
