    Default 32 Years Old

    My how time flies. I just finished some neck adjustments and new strings and snapped a quick photo of my now 32 year old Kramer Pacer Imperial.
    My dad bought this guitar for me in 1983 after fulfilling a promise to stick with the instrument on a guitar that was worse than an Esteban. Both he and the guitar are still around but I think the
    Kramer has aged a bit better. Seriously, Kramer must have used some kind of embalming process on their guitars (or maybe it was the New Jersey air surrounding the Neptune, NJ factory) because it's lived a pretty hard life and still looks almost new.

    You ain't kidding! It does still look almost new.
    Nice job of preserving it while still enjoying it.

    For a moment there, Stingx, I thought you were going to try to tell us that YOU were 32...

    32 wasn't that long ago for me.

    Was this guitar featured in a vid you posted featuring you and a band you were in playing a college party? I think it may have been. If so, post that sucker again. That was a fun vid and it would be cool to see this awesome vintage guitar in its younger days!

    LOL! Your memory is pretty good, sir. That would be the same guitar. I only had that guitar and one other for a long time but the Kramer got the most play time from '83-'95. Then it was put away for a while and even stupidly sold to someone. I was lucky enough to get it back around '05-'06.

    What I find to be very cool is the fact that the Schaller's are made in West Germany.
