Kramer Guitars powered glam and hair metal bands in the 80s, but theyre back and better than ever before At Andertons Music Co. This distinctive look also helped rank Kramer highly with guitar enthusiasts. Extremely Rare - FERRINGTON labeled Kramer Ferrington Model C Classical (Nylon String) acoustic electric guitar. The purple prototype allows musicians like Dweezil to transpose their electric technique onto an acoustic guitar without having to make adjustments in playing style, and the sound that they get on my guitar is unique." In late 1983 Kramer switched from the beak headstock design to the Gibson Explorer-like banana headstock design. I thought I'd try using a very light bracing pattern across the top of an acoustic guitar so the instrument would have a regular acoustic presence even though it's strung with electric guitar strings. Musicians occasionally try to compensate by putting electric strings on an acoustic guitar, but the sound ends up being so soft that it's sometimes hard to hear what's being played. Dweezil has a few of my guitars, and he's really a fast player, but folks like him don't usually use acoustic guitars because the strings are so heavy that it's practically impossible to play in the kind of quick, pyrotechnical style that they like so much.
The Purple Prototype was the product of an idea I had after thinking about the playing style of Dweezil Zappa.
Sounds awesome.įrom Ferrington Guitars, edited by Kate Giel, Harper Collins and Callaway Editions, 1992:
