1985 Kramer BarettaThis is the original Kramer Baretta from the company founded in Neptune, NJ made back in 1985 not one of the newer ones!
Specs:Creme (or an aged white) PaintMatching hockeystick headstock 'Skunk Stripe' neck with rosewood boardOriginal Black Floyd RoseSeymour Duncan JBJ (Maricela Juarez wound -- now in the SD Custom shop)Barrel input jackBlack Custom Order Plate (Neck being what is c...ustom)Since owning the guitar I bought a fitted esp hardshell case for it and had a local luthier go over it - fret level & dress, blocked the trem (dive only), and setup (shim on the nut, sanded the neck pocket so it's more level than factory, etc). The action is MUCH lower than when I had first bought it and it's very easy to play. I also installed new Schaller Strap locks and bought an Original Black Floyd Bar with nut (the existing Floyd nut keeps loosening after I hand tighten it so if it can't be tightened when you take off the bridge, you have the replacement nut). The only maintenance thing to note is the allen screw on the A string, the luthier couldn't move it and it may have to be replaced in the future if you want to, however the intonation was fine so it was left as is.
I tried to take a lot of pictures as that more easily tells the story of a 30+ year old guitar. There are wear and tear spots with the expected dings, dents, and scratches that you'd see on a piece of vintage gear that has been played. I tried to capture it best I could in the pictures. The three main things i'd highlight are - the chip on the back of the neck which is through the lacquer, the chip on the edge of the fretboard (luthier suggested that it could be filled with super glue but it didn't bother me playing), and the extra set of drilled blackplate holes (the backplate covers these but I prefer leaving it off).
Included:GuitarNon original Chrome Floyd BarReplacement Black Original Floyd BarESP hardshell case w/keys (I bought this earlier this year)Allen wrenchesKramer warranty card (Model number written as 'SMS')Original well worn Kramer Leather Gig bag. The guitar will be well packed with the strings detuned and additional bubble wrapping inside of the case to protect the headstock.
