ok, so the specs on the Kramer guitars arent bad at all, and i've read some really good reviews, what's the catch, why are they so cheap?

They're so cheap, because they're so god damn 80's. Anything with the word Kramer on it is 80's by default. If a cheese sandwich had the word Kramer on it, it would be an 80's sandwich.
I love Kramer bodies. I never actually played sa Kramer neck though. My other guitarrist's Kramer has a Fender neck on it, and I can't stand Fender necks.

If the Ed Zilla had a buck in the bridge, that would be a sweet guitar. Mahogany body and maple neck is about ideal for a bolt on for me. I need a "natural" colored guitar anyway. I am sure Wayne would build me one if I had about 1600 smackers to through at him.

I've thought about this one for a long while. Since I was a teenage metalhead at the time, I had to dig back in the ol' memory banks to remember what the world looked like back then.
I think the first couple years in the '80's was ruled by Ed's guitar.
Then Randy's polka dots and later Jackson took over.
But then 1984 came out and Ed was back on top.
But then along came Mr. Malmsteen and his strat was everywhere for a few years.
The late '80's was a mess of recognizable guitars though, from Lynch's skull'n'crossbones to Vai's flame guitar. I think SRV's strat owned the late '80's, but I would define the late '80's as the era of the Ibanez RG. Since the '80's were known as an age of excess and extravagance, I would use the neon colors of the Racer X posters as the posterchildren.

I had always thought 70's strats were the dud's of all strats. I played a 3 bolt heel/bullet truss rod Silver Anniversary strat years ago and didn't rate it all that highly, however I do agree most strat necks across the fretboard are in a class of their own, notably many of the japanese ones.

I've never really seen a 70's strat over the $2500-$3000 mark, in mint shape, mabie 3500-4000 with origional case and hang tags, and early 70-71. I had a chance to get a lefty 78' for like $1700 and passed on it...

it has a 70s strat neck and an older body liek 60s i believe b/c the guitar tech had to do some adjustments and took the body off and said the numbers dont all match up the body is much older than the neck and the neck is so smooth he said he thought it was switched b/c the neck plays so beautifully but i also have an early 80s jap start w/ the most clean neck i have ever played a wizard will never touch it im sorry wizards are great but come play my jap start and youll never touch a wizard
all i know is i got it at a garage sale for like 30 bucks and took it to get adjusted and the tech said hed give me 5000 cash for it and i said no cuz the it played that good
