I picked up this Baretta I Kline the other day and can't find any info on the graphic, can anyone shed some light on what this is? Thanks

Not entirely sure, the signature looks a little fake to me

I saw that on Ebay -- it was local to me. Looks like it was painted as a promotion for WPST back then but I'm trying to remember when they changed formats to rock. I don't think it was very long.

[jkremer1]

Yes, I got it off Ebay. I'm collecting Kline and Knapp Graphics and have never seen this graphic before, and figured it was for a promo or a contest. Thanks for the quick response's :)

Heh are we to the point that peeps will fake Klines? Amazing.

Steve- Hope you kept that FR body!

[Mac]

yes. Ive seen it in the past with a knapp swan that someone had airbrushed professionally then signed it himself and it look near identical!

I'll revoke though and agree it probably was a promo body for a radio station

So crazy. How did you figure out it was not Knapp?

Hi Vinny, yep it's me. Looks like he may have been inspired by that helmet:)

[jkremer1]

That's sweet!, here's a group shot of some other Kline/Knapp's I have.

Nope, but if you look close enough, you can see Vin 89 in the corner. ;)

[jkremer1]

Thanks for the kind words, I'd have a bigger pool if I could stop buying guitars:)

think the Voyager is a one off too... it was never completed

[Midnight_Highway]

*sniff* I love that skull-n-rose 'retta. Just something about it--S. Hall right Rick? :thumbsup

[amerturk]

Nice Klines! I didn't know that Hurst castle had Kramers in it... :D

Jim, were you not a member here before with a different handle?

[jkremer1]

You have the sickness too. Awsome Collection!!

[jkremer1]

Hi Amerturk, no I just joined. I'm sure I bought a few of the guitars from someone that may have been though.

[amerturk]

That's cool. Welcome onboard! I have a feeling you'll fit in just fine. :)

[Midnight_Highway]

Hey Tim, post pics of your "Playa Linda" 'retta again.. Love that guitar. :drool

[jkremer1]

Thank You:)

[amerturk]

Your wish is my command! :D

Aruba Kline, Custom Order, tranny neck....although it doesn't scream rock, I love the graphic.

[popvamp]

Right next to the harelip monkey Kline! :D

*sniff* I love that skull-n-rose 'retta. Just something about it--S. Hall right Rick? :thumbsup

Yeap George, its a S. Hall

[Midnight_Highway]

S. Hall did such nice work. I think I've only seen one other graphic he did, the Galactic Rainbow, and that one was killer too.

Nice one Tim, yea I love that graphic and I bet there are tons of folks who vacation in Aruba and have fond memories of the place that would take it off you in a heartbeat. Here's a pic I took of the hotel in Dec '07:

[amerturk]

Nice shots George! Did you know at the time that an Aruba Kline existed? It looks like a nice place to visit.

I also agree with the Lion :D I call mine the hair lipped monkey. :D

[Midnight_Highway]

I definitely didn't know the Kline existed Tim. If I did, I would've take more shots! Yeah, Aruba is pretty much paradise. I'd love to retire in the Caribbean some day.

George

[ullathorne]

I love Aruba too :thumbsup

me 2, he got some nice gear for sale on bay just a liitle out of my price range.

[TommysGs]

WTF are you thinking? Lining up guitars at the edge of a swimming pool.

That's a good way to have to start a: I dropped my guitar into the freaking swimming pool thread.
Amazing.

A good five feet from the edge would have acomplished the same purpose.
