Producing a number of its popular '80s guitars and new models like the Assault and Nite V, Kramer's guitars are still aimed at hard rock and metal players looking for searing tones and unparalleled playability. With some of the founders moving onto new projects, the Kramer brand was sold to Gibson in the late '90s and has now become one of its biggest divisions. Moving swiftly on, the above-pictured guitar is a Kramer-made Ferrington RT-3, a signature acoustic guitar for the No. Manufacturing a number of modded S-style guitars fitted with high-output pickups and double-locking Floyd Rose tremolo systems, Kramer's Baretta and Pacer models were often seen in the hands of some of the '80s biggest guitar heroes, including Whitesnake's Vivian Campbell and Motley Crue's Mick Mars. The current 'The 84' model is heavily based on the guitar that Van Halen used during his association with the company minus his famous striped finish!įinancial difficulties saw the original incarnation of Kramer Guitars come to an end in 1991. Apologies for the lack of a Guitarz post yesterday I was simply too busy to get to use the computer (these days Im trying to get out and about a little more and actually play the guitar rather than just writing about it). Initially famed for its aluminium-necked electric guitars and basses in the late '70s, Kramer is perhaps most synonymous with the '80s particularly through its association with Eddie Van Halen. The original owner planned to do some project work to it but never got around to it. We dont know much about this guitar other than it is very vintage and it could be from the early 70s. I am in Weston-super-Mare but will post/courier at cost if you want it.Founded in 1976, Kramer is an American brand that has produced some of the guitar industry's most distinctive instruments. Up for sale is a used VINTAGE KRAMER 350B BASS GUITAR that was taken in on trade, as it appears to be a pretty cool looking guitar to us. It is on Ebay but I would rather it went to someone one Basschat if anyone has need of a cheap starter bass. I bought this for my Son to learn on but it is too big so he now has a Squier Bronco which suits much better. The hardware is finished in black and is all in good working condition. The truss rod is free to turn and will tighten further if need be.

The neck is maple or similar with a rosewood fretboard. It is broadly a 'P' bass format with the body is finished in two tone sunburst and is in good condition with the odd mark as you expect from a used instrument. The Kramer 420S is a full sized bass and is relatively light weight so an ideal transition from a beginners short scale. Yes £49.00 is all you need to become the new owner of this Kramer Focus 420S.
