WTB: High end 80s Hair Rock Guitar

StephenB

Hi all,

As stated in the description, I recently decided that it was time to give in to my base instincts and get an authentic hair metal axe.

I'm looking for a high end Kramer (or similar) from the 80s in good condition. Something with an original floyd or similar high quality trem. The more audacious the colour the better.

I have a reasonable chunk of change to spend on the right axe so please show me what you got!

I recently saw a Stagemaster Custom in flip-flop colour scheme that was incredible but rare as hens teeth. I will be in London next week on Thurs/Fri so am happy to meet in person for a coffee beer!

Cheers!

Does it 100% need to be a Kramer? Would you consider an unique Hamer Californian?

My brother has 1986 Kramer Bluesbreaker (Stagemaster for Japanese market only) with H-S pickup configuration in metallic-flakes blue. He might be interested in selling

I sent a PM on that one already it would be the perfect backup and I'm hoping to meet him in London later on in the week. Having said that I'm still on the hunt for something a little more high-end.

Coda have a couple of very 80s USA Jackson's in stock currently. Sometimes only a pink snakeskin super strat will do the job!!!!

The pink snakeskin is rocking my world but a little out of budget unfortunately, thanks for the response though!

Hi. Not sure if this is high end enough or anywhere near what you're after, but I have a Japanese made, Jackson DK2/White Bengal that you may be interested in.

No affiliation but I was in this shop last week collecting my Strat that they did some work on and they had a lovely 80s Hamer about to go on display . I had a quick unplugged widdle on it and it played lovely - here it is.  I know nothing about prices so not sure if it’s fair or not tbh
