Belated NGD - 80s MIJ Kramer

[Archer250]

I actually forgot to post this, but I got this Kramer last weekend, put a DiMarzio Super 3 on it

It sounds incredible, like, really good.

I love the body size of those old Kramers.

Ikr? Pretty cozy

Looks like it should have a story behind it. Sounds great!

Yeah. Probs unknown now

Went through several owners, the previous of which bought it from a reseller

Really nice! And that is indeed not only MiJ, but a Japan-only model that never reached international audiences. I take it that is not the original tremolo? I am uncertain whether this would have come with an OFR or a knock-off Floyd originally.

Must be similar to a Soloist or Dinky?

Not a Soloist, but maybe a Dinky. The Nightswan was tiny, too.

 

[Artie]

Nice color. The double creams look good in there too.

According to some sources, some came with an OFR, some came with an FR2, some came with whatever knockoff ESP had lying around

I'm actually not sure if the trem is original, but the saddle blocks get gummed up enough that I suspect it is.

That was the first thing that caught my attention browsing the listings.

"Ooh double crea- WAIT AN 80S KRAMER"
