Ive owned two. 86 Baretta, and a 87 Stagemaster. Good axes, never could get what I wanted outta them. Sold them for a good penny though. But I still like the looks of them. In honesty, my buddy's Focus 3000 import sounded more Van Halen than either of mine. Was heavier too. Mine were alder, his might have been Maple? Not sure.

Yes, BUT, it's actually a Pinnacle or clone of the EVH Frankenstein, but with four conductor wire for coil-splitting. Could not be happier with this guitar and pickup.

2006, Shimmed the neck, this thing is a monster very low action and a very fast neck.

Must've been a different guitar, I've had this since '83, never plan on parting with it (!)...as Marshall Law mentioned, the necks on these things are to die for. I can't explain it but even to this day, the neck on this guitar plays better than nearly anything I've ever owned, including my Suhr Modern Pro and...when I play this Kramer it just feels like home. They're pretty easy on the eyes too!

I had an '83 Pacer Imperial with the "beak" headstock and an '86 Baretta with the satin finish "pointy" one. The '83 guitar played and sounded MUCH better. Traded off the wrong one for my '73 Les Paul goldtop.
