My Stagemaster I's

[axe4me]

I picked these up at the weekend open to the public Kramer, Neptune NJ sale many moons ago.
The salmon pink Stagemaster is one of 2 made in this color and layout. I should have bought both.
The black Stagemaster I is a Canadian Prototype.

Got to love the stagemasters

"Before Kramer closed it's Neptune, NJ doors in the late 80's, they had a dealer only Friday sale and a Saturday open to the public sale.

Here's what I picked up along with lots of hardware; p/u's; necks and body's:

Kramer Stagemaster I in see through salmon pink. It's only one of 2 made in this color. I was offered both but I only bought one.....

Stories of lore.....

What info on the Canadian proto?

[KickstartMyHeart]

Man, they look sweet . Welcome to KF. Salmon id a dicey color on a guitar but this one came out great. Is this a neck-through-maple-sustain-block? Wings look a bit like ash, don´t they?

From what I remember, Kramer was beginning to explore Canadian made Kramer guitars.
This was towards the end of the Neptune facilities existence.
I think they were using La Si Do for these prototype builds.
My black Stagemaster prototype body is slightly smaller than production Stagemaster bodies.
Former Kramer insiders, Paul Unkert or John Hingie would know more about this offshoot.

Did I miss something? I see the OP is now banned?

"Show me another! Show me another!!!!"

if I'd have had photochop available when I found that, I'd have named that bear 'amerturk'. lol!

sadly, there's no 'after' photo, where the bear is having that guy for a mid-day snack. haha!

I think dude lost his mind when he found out his guitar wasnt the only one. but as a preview. I'm building a one of a kind!!!! It will be on the tech threads. Poor poor axeman. how sad it must be to be banned from a bunch of guys like us.

That salmon pic is from a commercial I've recently seen.... Me thinks....
