Need some help!!
A friend from work has come across an old Kramer of unknown year model. It has two humbuckers that are the EMG Selects,the neck pickup is slanted,not the bridge. It has the standard fulcrum tremelo and the neck is amazingly fast. The neck plate says "Made in USA",not the typical "Made in Neptune NJ",it has a nice weight to it,so I don`t think it`s one of the plywood bodies, which are usually very heavy. It does not have any series markings(Focus,Stryker,etc)
The guitar is ,as far as we know in totally stock condition. Anybody got any clues?? I know about the "Vintage Kramer" site,but I don`t have the serial number handy. Oh yea!! The body is painted in a "Colonial White" but the headstock is black with the logo in block lettering in gold.
Any clues?? |

Still on the battery. A regular, at that. None of those supercharged things (that I did look for but couldn't find around here).
Sounds great all the same. Just tone heaven this afternoon. Even took the time to read the instructions as to how to care for this fine instrument today. Just out of curiousity. LOVED the advice from Gibson Custom as to watch for "blue smoke" coming off the guitar if you move it from extreme cold to hot. Close the case immediately! Wood expanding too fast for the paint!

Speaking of tone, my friend. Sitting here with the SG in my lap + DS-1 + Vox Valvetronix = PARADISE!!! DAMN, this sounds good!
Still can't really figure out what the Keeley mod is doing on the DS-1, btw.

If the tone has stuck to you like that,try a little rubbing alcohol!!!lol! If you liked the tone that much,that`s your amp. All this time later and you still think about it, sounds like that your choice is made. The MG`s have a good thick tone,very tube like. get it and go for it!! When you need to upgrade,you`ll know what you`re expectations are from an amp. The Line6 stuff is good also,but I think I would go for the Marshall,since it`s "stuck to you" and all!!
