Mar 15, 2011 · From what I understand, reading a history of Kramer guitars, They could never perfect their neck-making so they imported the necks from the ESP plant in Japan.

A small team of designers and Kramer enthusiasts work in Nashville (under Gibson's Epiphone division) making quality guitars that are reminiscent of the classic 1980's vintage Kramers. They are good people.

May 24, 2011 · Unfortunately, the original Kramer Company ruined the Kramer reputation by selling a bunch of crappy plywood guitars before they went bankrupt. The last great guitar made by Kramer was the American Showster, less than 1000 were made and yet Kramer couldn't sell them because they had ruined the Kramer brands reputation.
