A 1976 Kramer 450B has just arrived!!

This model is representative of early Kramer guitars featuring an aluminum neck.
Itfs a guitar that combines the unique design of the f70s with exceptional playability.

The combination of an aluminum neck and wooden inserts delivers a fast attack and excellent sustain.
It delivers a well-balanced sound, ranging from rich, deep bass to clear, well-defined highs, making it a standout choice for a wide range of genres, including rock, funk, and fusion.

The body features a simple yet functionally beautiful design, and its appeal lies in the powerful sound characteristic of American basses from that era. The unique response and clear projection?unmatched by modern instruments?are hallmarks of a vintage Kramer.

As this is a vintage model produced approximately 50 years ago, it shows signs of wear and aging commensurate with its age, but these characteristics only add to its sense of history.
Please take this opportunity to try it out.

POT DATE: 137-7645 x3, 137-7633

There is a large dent in the fret. While this is not currently causing any buzzing or other issues, we ask that you consider the possibility of replacing the frets in the future before making your purchase.
A broken wire was found in the front pickup upon arrival, so it has been rewound.
All knobs have been replaced.
There is a missing section on the front pickup escutcheon. The rear escutcheon is also cracked.
This is a model without a truss rod. With the current 45-105 gauge strings, the neck tends to bow forward; however, there is some adjustment leeway at the saddle, and the action has been set to approximately 2.5 mm at the 12th fret, so it does not significantly interfere with playability.
Otherwise, there are general signs of wear consistent with its age, such as dents and scratches.
Comes with the original hard case (handle damaged).
It also comes with the original tag from that era, making it a guitar we highly recommend for collectors.
