spider-people Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Hoping somone can provide info on this guitar that I just picked up today from an auction. I haven't had a Kramer since the mid- 80s so I don't know much about most if them except for the Focus 2000 I had back in the day and the early Striker 200ST that I'm customizing right now. I'm a little confused on this custom snakeskin guitar because it is in just about mint condition but the 5 digit serial dates er' from 1982 ( according to Chat GPT). Also, the Floyd Rose says JACKSON on it. Finally, the snake skin custom covering, I cannot find online anywhere so far. It also has etching on the guitar body underneath the snake skin cover to make it more snake like. I've never seen a guitar body modified like that before. I'll be taking er' apart tonight to see what I can see but thought one.of you Kramer efficianato's may humor my ignorance with some insight. Is it a re-issue? Is it from 82? What model? Is it a fake? It's super well put together and " feels " like a great guitar. Any info is highly appreciated . Please just let me know if the link doesn't work Thanks! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ocH2B-xeNFyCN_fgi4ECYwEx7nRsBUzi/view?usp=drivesdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibSinCity Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 A few things... I've never seen a Kramer model quite like that one. Possibly custom, but I'm thinking it's something someone put together. Especially with "Jackson" on the tremolo, and what might be a Kramer neck. Or at least a Kramer logo decal. The point on the "Chicken beak" style headstock looks a little more "pointy" than any pictures I've seen. Although it's a little hard to tell from the picture at that angle. The Chicken beaks were created by cutting Fender Stratocaster style headstocks due to a lawsuit. Some good Kramer info here: http://www.vintagekramer.com/index.htm Chicken beak: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
