NOGD Kramer Stagemaster

[Little B]

I cant believe I found this 89' in such good condition. Not a spec of buckle rash on the back either.Obviously a closet case queen.This is my 2nd 89.I foolishly let the first one go many years past.
Had my tech go over this one and do some fret work,both single coils are weak.May replace those.OG floyd is good.Its almost a D neck back shape,but not quite.
Just not sure on the body woods.Ctr is maple.Sides are either mahogany or maple? If you couldn't afford a usa soloist in 89',this was an awesome alternative.

You said better wrong.

Sides are either mahogany or maple?

That doesn't look like mahogany on the sides to me but I'm not a wood expert and google is suggesting a late 80's stagemaster has mahogany sides. Maybe I'm just used to seeing more recent crap mahogany, lol. Regardless, congrats, that puppy is beautiful, and in amazing shape. That contoured top is fire.

Yeah kinda looks like ash, doesn't it?

That was my first thought. Like a tele.

So we're narrowing the sides down to maple, mahogany or ash. Not much info on the kramer forum sites. And with kramer going under in like a year later didn't help.Deluxe 1 on headstock.
