I got my kramer really cheap 'cos of the grunge trend - all old "vintage" gear & jazzmasters was cool then - big backlash against the pointy ones.
I was supprised when I bought mine how cheap you pick up quaility Jacksons etc..
I'd stopped playing for a few years & when I got back into it, I had a job and spare cash so it was like christmas when all this was so cheap (I could never afford good gear when I started)
Its funny watching some of the "old school" widdler types now playing vintage strats with non-locking trems - it seems out of place. Only Vai & Satch sticking to their guns.
trouble is, now I can afford half decent gear I'm 10 yrs behind now - using a guitar with a locking trem
still got the telecaster tho..
