Vintage Kramer was created to remind and inform fans of an 80's legend, Kramer Guitars . This guitar company started out in the 1970's as an aluminum guitar maker, and evolved into an 80's rock guitar legend when they realized there was a definite niche for 80's players and the guitars they wanted to play. Vintage Kramer is created and maintained by Kramer fans and enthusiasts, unlike other sites that are ran by dealers. Thank you for your support!

Sammy lately has been pushing his new show, Rock and Roll Road Trip on AXS TV. While this guitar has been seen in many photos before, this is the first time we've seen very detailed photos of the guitar. The most interesting thing about this guitar is the red Floyd and Schaller tuners. Yes, there were colored Floyds and Schallers offered on Kramers, and for direct order from Kramer back ni the day. This is an amazing instrument, its so good to know Sammy still plays this one occassionally and holds it in high regard!!
