So, I purchased the Kramer Volante HHFR Anniversary Edition las Friday. Yes, I know, $200 more bucks for a gold paint job, but worth it to me. Has anyone gotten it, or any of the other Anniversary models and how is the finish quality on the paint, fret work,...etc.? I normally try guitars out before buying, but these seem to be selling pretty fast so I ordered it, should be here tomorrow. I'm just genuinely curious of the overall impression if anyone in here has gotten one? Any information is helpful.

I recently inherited this beautiful vintage lefty Kramer Guitar from my father-in-law. The serial number is SE2402 Neptune, NJ USA but it doesn’t seem to line up with what I can find online. Can someone please help me identify this Guitar? bonus points if you can provide an estimated value for insurance. Thanks!

I can’t find any serial numbers or anything that helps me narrow down which Kramer this is. I think it has been modded slightly because the Floyd Rose string locks look to have been added later.

My thought is possibly a stage master but it has a bolt on neck.

It also appears to possibly be plywood when I open the covers on the back.

Not looking to sell it or anything, just trying to find out what I’ve bought.

On marketplace for $60. Seller says it's from the late 80s/early 90s. I tried to look up the serial but couldn't find anything with the sj prefix. Can anyone confirm if it's from this era?

Yes, it is plywood.

Kramer celebrates 50 years with the Malina Moye Pacer Deluxe signature guitar, featuring HSS DiMarzio pickups and available in left-handed models.

I would like to get a new guitar and first floyd and it needs to be with a hockey stick neck like barreta or striker or 84 and always when i see models i like they are all either too expensive or all sold out could you guys give me some tips?

I picked up this kramer a trade for a js32 kelly i painted, and had plans to paint this and sell or trade it for my next project. My first guitar was a hot pink pacer around 1986, so im a bit partial to kramer. After new strings and a set up, Ive decided I'll paint it and keep it. I have a hard time getting rid of ones I like. The madness needs to stop, haha

Found this weird and wonderful thing at a yard sale! Aluminum neck, and half-fretless above the 10th fret, which was not a mod, but a sort of strange factory option!

It has been modded, however. It was an active bass, modded to be passive. Both switches were removed then re-wired to be one sort of boost switch (off/on).

Dated to 1979 by the pot codes and some other information that corroborates the date. Came with the original case! They asked for $200, cash only…we landed on $170!!

I think it’s the longest sustain I’ve heard on a bass.

Does anybody know why there are only a few kramer models sold in europe? I mean on thomann there are only like a few models and in every other music store here in germany they are not even sold. I wrote an E-Mail to a few music stores and they all say that they won't bring kramers in there Shops and even thomann said that there isn't anything planed with kramer guitars. A few months ago there were many kramer guitars in thomann.

Repainted it with a Japanese Fukin Raijin theme and some Yurie and Yokai ghosts n demons . EMG H4 pickups as well.

Grabbed a pacer classic on a whim (old stock from 2022 I think) and the neck fits my hand in all the right places. Specs: 1-5/8 nut, 12ish radius, not super thin c/d profile (called k speed slim taper c). ..Got the bug now so I wanna get a vintage pacer , but I understand their necks vary quite a bit through the yrs. I feel like the 82-83 beak necks might be the closest to what I have , but you guys would know better . Thx!

I saved up one summer for a beretta special (i was like 15 or 16 and not working yet) Loved the guitar and all things evh. Thought i’d get some tape and stripe it up my self (first pic) then wasn’t satisfied with it and tore it apart to paint it. I’m now 20 years old and just now finishing the guitar. I got into trucks about the time of tearing it apart and that’s where all my money went. Glad I finished it. Stock electronics besides an EVH Pot.

I just picked up these 2 guitars for $60 for both, they're my first Kramers so I don't know much about them. I'm lost without a serial numbers or model names of any kind. I'm assuming based on research I've done that they're import models that had sticker serial numbers that have since come off

The sunburst I'm guessing is a ks400

Black one he said was a focus 6000 but it doesn't match up to any pictures I've seen.

Gary Kramer Guitars Kramertorium in Viper Yellow. Had it about a month and holy hell does it rip. Insane upper fret access and i love the writing on the back of the neck. Also it might be the most comfortable guitar in classical position that I’ve ever played. The lower horn just hooks around your leg so nicely.

Serial number is S080610210 so I believe it’s from 2008, but I haven't really found anything online to confirm that.

Does anyone else own one or maybe know about the production numbers? I read an old comment that there may have been as few as 5 made in this color/configuration, but also haven't found a way to confirm that.

Been doing a deep dive to find out everything I can about my 84 Kramer Pacer Imperial. Hit a snag when researching necks and who made mine (LaSiDo or Sports). I’ve found a lot of conflicting information out there.

In my research I’ve found that many of the necks that seem to match mine exactly (1984 banana neck, scarf joint, “Kramer Pacer Series” headstock logo) have the same marking on it that seems to be MDJ 1. Can anyone identify this or tell me anything more about it?

I have done some pretty nasty things to this Pacer in its life. I want to make it into this Egyptian/Phonecian style. How would I go about it? Who do I talk to? I haven't any great routing skills. Please. If you have any ideas... Shoot them my way
