I have a very personal connection to this particular Kramer Neptune New Jersey "After-Hours" Artwork. In the last 30 years I have scarfed up everyone of these checkerboard patterns I have ever seen go up for sale in the used market. This body was released in 1982. I think this is a very cool and attractive graphic.

There is a history with this Kramer Pacer guitar graphic. In 1982 Kramer Neptune New Jersey paid their employees overtime to stay after and stripe guitar with tape and create art graphics on guitars. This body is an example of that. In the Kramer collectors community these guitars are called a “ Kramer After Hours Graphic “.

In 1982 Kramer in New Jersey was ramping up for EVH to become thier advertising and marketing endorsee. In those years everyone wanted to play like EVH and own a Kramer and a guitar with a graphic. This vintage graphic is a great example of what came out of that era!

With any luck we will launch this graphic onto our line of AXN Guitars. I just need to clone the artwork perfectly!
