Beauty, Stevie. :drool

[Steve EZ]

Thanks guys. I'm not sure that the fine tuner tail is stock but otherwise it's in incredible condition. Plays nice too. :)

[ullathorne]

Stevie thats a cracker. :thumbsup

[serdontos]

Nice maple goodness, I notice you've been adding quite a few Lumies to your collection lately, this one's another beaut:thumbsup

Um, not sure what you mean. :scratchhe

j/k :D

I may never get my 650 back but at least I am getting to enjoy the metal neck feel again. Almost had a shot at a 650 down in Nashville but it was sold a few hours before Rod and I showed up :banghead

[pel666]

Niiiiice!!! 5 :drool 'er

[Florida Sam]

Very nice!! I love clean oldies. I took my "new" 250G apart tonight to clean the pots (the volume was a bit scratchy) and I swear its never been opened up, clean CLEAN CLEAN! Pots date '76! My new Fender looked like crap under the hood compared to this.

[lostinthemasses]

love that flame maple

dont think the fine tuning tailpiece is stock though

is that an x2n?

[Sluggy]

Is that solid Flame Maple???:headbang

And how do you know it's a kramer?

I know nothing about a "lumies"

Sorry...:funnel

[NightRider]

i think that was supposed to go to my house... steve you need to stop paying off the ups guy:)
but that is:drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool

[simpler1]

Mmmmmm Maple Lumie :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool

Nice find Steve!

[serdontos]

Hey, Steve, I see just one mini toggle, so is that a DMZ 1500 :D:D:D . Does that lone mini look original?, I'm assuming it splits the bridge.

[Steve EZ]

Yep, solid flame maple and it's definitely a Kramer ;)

I'm wondering about that single toggle and the bridge pup :scratchhe

I checked though and the electronics are all factory original. I thinnk it's a DMZ1000 v1.5 :D

[DethConsumer]

Wow, that's lookin' very nice there buddy! :thumbsup

[Lewd_Dude]

U gotts to love it when they look like new!!! The lumie's sure do have a comfortable feel to the neck. I have the DMZ600G and i can dial in some nice warm tones to boot!

CONGRATS! :headbang :headbang :headbang

[lostinthemasses]

i think i see a hole where the second toggle used to be, i think since the bridge pickup was replaced the coil splitter was taken out with the pickup.

its definitely a 2000 though

[Steve EZ]

Hard to tell from my picture but there isn't a second hole. The metal shield plate inside the control cavity doesn't have any extra holes.

(Think I'll stop before I say something vaguely obscene :help )

[lostinthemasses]

so there isnt even a spot where a hole was filled?

[Steve EZ]

so there isnt even a spot where a hole was filled?

Nope. They must have used a perfectly matched flame maple plug followed by sanding and buffing the polyester to be perfectly flat. :thumbsup

btw, the X2N is also factory original. If this was made in 78 it may have been slightly different.

[lostinthemasses]

factory original x2n? so does that mean this dmz was a custom order?

[Steve EZ]

Dunno. I'm not positive that it's an X2N but it is the original soldering so it was installed at the factory. The coil tap is on the bridge pup though and it is one of the quietest guitars I own :scratchhe

[lostinthemasses]

thats suprising the coil tap is on the bridge pickup, so the neck pickup is a super distortion then?

[Steve EZ]

Looks like, yeah.

[That guy with a kramer]

PLEASE TELL ME THAT'S LIKE A SEVEN POUNDER!!!

:arrg :arrg :arrg :arrg :arrg :arrg :arrg :arrg

[simpler1]

Steve, that is no doubt a factory reject, please send it to me immediately. I will give it a good home in the land of misfit toys! :)

Seriously though, given all the recent historic pictures I have seen, there are quite a few variations and paint schemas I never knew existed. I wonder what else is out there? :scratchhe What years did you work there?

[Steve EZ]

I was there from between 80-83.

The DMZ is the one I reach for first right now. Amazing how quiet the electronics are on it. :scratchhe

[simpler1]

Steve-what do you mean by quiet? Like the volume doesn't go loud enough?

[Steve EZ]

No, like not hint of hum. :thumbsup
