MightyMite neck, Brass sustain block, Graphtech saddles, EVH Frankenstein Humbucker. In '93, the bodies were American size and shape made of Alder. This guy started life as a 1993 MIM Squier strat. You already are starting with an OFR equipped nice piece of wood, so you are wide open to put whatever neck on it you choose, and electronics.
KRAMER GUITAR IDENTIFICATION MOD
The only mod has been the addition of a D-Tuna, shown in last pic. Its a 2008 Leo Scala designed Gary Kramer Custom. It's great to find pieces like the one you have, because you can mod it to a great playing piece with whatever parts you want to use. I dont have a regular Kramer but I do have a Gary Kramer. If you want a little color, you could finish it with a few thin coats of lacquer. It's really a blessing that someone did the hard work of removing the thick finish for you, because you have an aged piece of wood that should resonate extremely well. If you start out with good bones, which you have, you can make it into something amazing.
KRAMER GUITAR IDENTIFICATION SERIAL NUMBERS
These serial numbers do not pertain to the new line of Kramers from Musicyo. That being said, I don't really concern myself with resale if I've got a good sounding, good playing instrument. While there are several places on Vintage Kramer to learn about serial numbers, here is a rundown of serial numbers, with year models and distiguishing characteristics for I.D. Kramer was the only guitar company offering Original Floyd Rose tremolos stock on their production guitars, a competitive advantage of Kramer over other guitar manufacturers of the period. Kramer Early Voyager, Very Low Serial Number, This Guitar is available as an Abstract Star. So, you can see that the sum of the parts sold independently would be worth more than the guitar as a whole. This guitar is so old its Pre Floyd Rose Very low serial number. The neck could probably bring in $40.00 or so by itself. The body, if it were sold by itself could probably fetch $60.00. Those guitars came with Original Floyd Rose trems on them, which in itself is worth $100.00 if it's still in good shape. Your guitar as it sits is probably only worth about $150.00 on the market, but that doesn't tell the whole story. Chances are that your guitar has an ESP neck on it, in which case I would keep it. I have heard that they also had necks made for them by Godin in Canada, although I'm not sure on which models and during what years those were done. At the time that guitar was made, Kramer was outsourcing the necks from a couple different places, the most well known of which was ESP in Japan. I'm not sure I would abandon the neck on it though. If you painted it white and threw a classic Kramer logo on it, you would have what looks like a rosewood fretboard, non-tilt headstock Baretta, although the headstock shape is thinner at the end. It is more close to the "Holy Grail" Baretta. I wouldn't necessarily go that route with this guitar, just because the body isn't really representative of the 5150 guitar.
I guess to answer your question about the neck, I would ask what your plans are for the guitar?Īre you planning on striping it up and making a "5150" out of it? If so, I would say yes, you probably want the KnE neck.
