This is the ultimate axe by Kramer made specifically for Gene Simmons of Kiss, this example is THE “Prototype” made by Steve Carr himself by hand in 1980, Gorgeous Black & Silver finish over a very lifelike Axe shaped guitar having nothing in common with the factory made production guitar model, notice the multi piece body & detailed axe blade all carved by hand, she has 1 potent chrome covered Humbucking pickup & bridge placed far lower & unlike the DiMarzio equipped production ones, also notice Gene’s signiture is nothing like on the factory signed guitars & basses, word has it that only maybe 20 – 30 guitars were ever produced since Gene didn’t play guitar, this one is basically in excellent condition & hardly used & kept in Steve Carr’s personal collection since new in 1980 thru 2004. It was also played by Gene whom was a good friend & shared in its design. A letter of authenticity signed by Steve comes with this rare Axe, its a definite piece of guitar history & a true 1 of 1 ever produced. Kiss fans…don’t miss this prize.
