Neptune, NJ?

I believe this is the same situation that Charvel has with the Fort Worth, TX address.

Re: Kramer Question

yes, it was Neptune, NJ. and i thought it was the same as charvel. It was cheap, i think 129.00. it had alot of knicks on the guitar, so i passed. but it is still there.

Re: Kramer Question

It will depend on a few things. Most kramers were built by ESP and assembled in the USA, but there were a few years that Kramers where built in the US entirely.

Usually their high end "American" guitars have a serial that begins with only one Letter, for example FXXXXX would be an "American" Kramer and FCXXXX would be an import. There are exception to that rule for Kramers built around 1989 and on, as the company neared bankruptcy they began using serial numbers that began with only one letter for their imports as well.

Check out Vintagekramer.com for more info. Odds are if it has an Original Floyd Rose then its worth what they are asking.

Re: Kramer Question

+1 on it being plywood. My son and I have 2 kramers from back in the day. both solid wood. I'd pass on it too.

Those strikers didn't even have a decent FR on em. Pot metal crap
