NGD: White guitar content!

[Joelski]

Got this one Friday. As I have said before, these are my holy grails; I passed on one back in '90 and never had the chance to snag one until recently when I got my first one. Now I have two of the same model of guitar, albeit with some differences!

Kramer Stagemaster Standard I:

i really want to play one of these, but they are few and far between and thats disregarding the fact that id ihave to find one in lefty, I guess they are so awesome that no one really wants to part with them. Awesome guitars! Congrats.

The Stagemasters with a carved top were made by Larrivee for Kramer.

Great find !!!!!

[mrrs]

Very nice.
I've always wanted to add one of these to my collection, preferably the archtop, but I've never found the right deal.
Congrats.

Ummm, did they make them for ESP too?

[krimson]

Yeah, I heard Larrivee did work for Kramer in the earlier days. Although I'm pretty sure that ESP was making these stagemasters for kramer. In fact they liked the design so much that they are almost identical to their Horizon model.

[Joelski]

The answer is yes and no. Larivee made the Paul Dean model (at least initially), but ESP always made the Stagemaster production models.

The Stagey gave way to the Horizon. The Horizon I was the predecessor to the present day ESP Horizon II and LTD MH 1000 series. The design was purely to go head-to-head with the Jackson Soloist and was in development a year before the Soloist's release, but delayed until 1986 for some stupid reason. Kramer was as famous for stupid moves as they were for brilliant ones; that's why hardly anybody even knows about them except us crispy 80's dudes.
