Wait a minute...




The tremolo cover is the wrong color!

That finish on the forearm cutaway is quite arousing. It's also funny how the headstock spreads the keys apart, defeating the purpose of online tuning keys.

When I suggested that it *might* be a Kramer KS-400 and worth $129...

Thanks for that but I did have a chance to get my buddy at guitar center to run the serial number and get the info for the build and type but thanks for your concern

Unfortunately this is business as usual in Kramer-land. There are a lot of scammers out there, and I sincerely hope that potential buyers educate themselves. With VintageKramer.Com it shouldn't be too hard!

That's appalling. I just bought an F3000 for less than half that. First time I've seen a period Kramer gig bag, but I'll take it!

His buddy at guitar center ran the serial number for him, huh? (Thats enough right there)
Well there's no running a serial number really when it comes to Kramers, only if you know enough details between the specific models will you get an idea on the time frame, which is fairly consistent and conclusive, however the serial number on that little Krapper isnt even listed or registered because its a low end guitar that didnt merit the time to do so.
Yea KS-400 maybe? Either that or a Korean XL-3, but definitely not a Baretta. The only thing that would be comparable to would be a Kramer Classic 1 because of the SSS pickguard, but thats an 8-hole vs the 11-hole on this.
The only thing this has in common with a Baretta is that it also has 6 strings that you pluck or strum with a plectrum.

I had a buddy who fell victim to a Kramer scam. He got a scrap Kramer neck, but a decent strat body and pickguard from the late 60s that was more than worth what he paid for it.

Gotta wonder how that happened.

This totally made sense to me.

Wow you really put some effort into that. The hardest part would have been getting that Ratt sticker centered.

I turned a dead charvette 150 into this majestic wizard.


Step up acebob.

I think you have done what I previously thought impossible. You have made a guitar with stickers that did not look tacky.

Just out of curiosity, are those the stock singles?

Well, looks like I have more work to do?

Yes. But I primarily use the Fast Track II split for single bridge or bridge + middle single tone.

Re: Somebody quick - buy this Kramer "Beretta"
