Welcome to the Kramer Forum

We are near the 24 hour mark. I checked the neck and I don't think it has moved at all. The greatest amount of bow is just around 30 thousandths. It looks great. The next steps are to tighten the truss rod and carry on with the L,C,P, and fret end dressing. The neck looks the same as the last pic's ...

Just a update.
It is 9.5 hours after taking it out of the jig.
It looks like it hasn't moved at all from this morning. It is looking really good so far.

It took some time to get a blue color that I liked to paint the headstock with. I have let the paint cure for about a week. I lightly level sanded it today. Then put on the first UV clear coat. I am really happy with it. I took a pic to see if I liked it and I do. So the next step is to level sand t...

Since I stupidly lifted something too heavy the day before helping a neighbor. My back was screaming at me. So I decide it was a good time t...

This has inspired me.
On my to do list is a making a copy of this guitar but with slightly different graphic's. LOL.

Dammit.
I threw out all my 1980's mixed tapes years ago. They could have been worth thousands of dollars.

It is an aesthetic that is very popular, and not just in guitar building. Beyond that. There is a feel, and a sound that is very different from a guitar with a lot of shinny new paint and clear coat on it. Some of the most expensive and elite guitar manufactures have for years tried to build guitars...

had a very uncommon compound radius fret board What is the compound 12-16 like a Jackson? Is the Proaxe the most similar model feel wise being 24 fret, r1, don't know the radius? I'll admit, when I got my first Proaxe weeks ago, my first thought was this is the best (thinest) neck of all kramers an...
