Vintage " Mid 80's Kramer Baretta/F1000-Japan Market Only! MINT

Mid 80's Vintage Kramer Baretta/F-1000 Metal Beast! Guys, I have dug so deep into getting info on this guitar it's crazy! I talked to the guys at Ed Roman, Vintage Kramers, and more. It's a hard Axe to nail down. Most of the input finds this guitar to be a Baretta or a Baretta II. On the other side it could be an F1000... it's a Rare model Kramer...Very unique...FREE Shipping...

     The headstock decal was painted on it's not a slide decal. This Axe is super clean.I did a ton of research, and there isn't a lot out there on this Kramer due to how old it is, and the fact that they only sold in the Japan market...These were not sold anywhere in the US. I put new tuners on it, but I have the originals, so you'll get both......The "stock" pick ups are made by Seymour Duncan, and they rip! A Solid Monster of an Axe for sure. The Floyd says "Lic". Must be one of the first. But, it's solid steel...some of the info on this is the parts were made in the USA, and put together by ESP in Japan.

     This guitar also has the "Holy Grail" tone woods, and it's basically built like a "Pacer Special", or aka "Pre"-Baretta. What makes me, and other Kramer enthusiasts think this could be a Baretta is it doesn't say "focus" on the headstock, and the focus headstock was a hockey stick shape...(not exactly sure though) this one just says "Kramer", and the Headstock is pointy... The price is way less than the same year(s) Pacers w/ all the same grooves! You can ask me anything, but all I know I've written here:-) I'll send her out in a gig bag! It started out as a white finish...it's now a sweet cream due to it's Vintage Years. Thanks guys, Rocko

From Vintage Kramer: 

Early Focuses- The earliest of Focuses sported the same "classic" style headstock as the USA models of the time. These headstocks also said "Focus by Kramer". Many speculate these guitars being comprised of left over USA made parts from the "classic" head era of Kramer. This makes a lot of sense seeing as how thrifty Kramer was with their supplies but to this day remains unconfirmed.

Focus 1000---The 1000 began NOT as a Baretta equivalent but as a Pacer Special(otherwise known as "pre-Barettas" in certain circles) clone. These had 1 non-slanted hum, 1 vol, 1 tone and a 3 way phase switch and the "classic" headstock. this version didn't last long and was soon replaced by the Baretta features; the difference being it had a non-tilt banana head, but gained the Baretta attributes 1 slanted hum, and 1 knob. The banana heads on these early hockey head 1000s were longer and skinnier than the than the oncoming ones. A year later, the head shape was changed to resemble a shape more similar to the USA Barettas but still not the same.  These are considered rare.
