The Kramer DMZ 5000 is a notable and top of the line model from the "aluminum neck era" of the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was part of Kramer's second major series of instruments, all featuring the iconic "tuning fork" headstock design, DiMarzio pickups(hence DMZ) and a unique hybrid construction. 

In very good condition for its age, just some nicks and dings and a missing neck bolt cover plate. Frets looks good and have plenty of meat on them. Easy to play. 

Neck Design: A bolt-on aluminum T-beam neck with walnut  inserts on the back to provide a more traditional wood feel for the thumb.

Fretboard: Rosewood fretboard, likely installed in favour of the serie's original synthetic ebonol board.

Body Construction: Features a solid, double-cutaway body, made of walnut with maple center stripes

Electronics: Equipped with factory DiMarzio pickups in a P/J configuration 

Controls: Passive electronics including two volumes, two tones, a 3-way pickup selector, and two mini-toggle switches for coil-tapping or frequency shifting.
