    I love that guitar! My personal favorite is my '84. It's my benchmark. I don't care if it isn't period correct and all that other bs. It's a simple, top quality guitar that plays awesome.

    Well thats easy for me. My fav is my recent purchase, 87 swan redone in burnt orange metallic. Bridge pup was replaced just recently. Pic shows a tb-11 but I found an original full shred (BJ) from the 80's. Best playin kramer I've ever had
    LONG LIVE THE 80'S

    Easy...my '85 3000s. Versatile, great feeling, great sounding guitars that look amazing! Close second would be my '87 F-3000 (only second because I like 'nanas better than pointies and the bridge PUP isn't quite as good. I really should swap it but am terminally lazy ).

    Only mods are the D-tuna on the red '85 (will soon be adding one to the "new" blue one as well) and a black to chrome swap on the F-3000.

    I'm having a hard time just picking one. My favorite Kramer would have to be the ProAxe, but my PC2 is a great player as well.

    lol! Actually, I was hoping to see a Nightswan Aztec pop up in here! I love the Aztec finish, my next guitar project will have a finish something like that I'm sure of it.

    The black and red guitars are Peavey Vandenbergs, and the purple one is a Peavey G-Ninety. They're really great guitars for shred-type playing as they have short scales and the fretboards are really flat.

    I agree 100%. I like my NightSwan as well, but I think my ProAxes play a little bit better. I'd love to try a Swan II though, I think I'd feel more at home with a recessed Floyd.

    It is very comfortable! The Showsters all have such contours...I would love to find a Metalist II and a XML II (hum and a slant single is a killer config.)

    It's never easy ... it's between this B series and one of my C series Pacers ... I wish they had the lights on when my friend took these pix, but it was only sound check.

    That would be my 83 Imp with maple body, 10'' board round profile and 2 Golden 50s. That is the most elegant and sexy body shape of my Ks. But the Trans Red 84 follows close behind.
