This logo with the world globe next to the word Kramer appeared on Kramers that were manufactured at the ESP factory. Electric Sound Products started with Kramer on a few Kramer models in these years.

ESP were putting out guitars made in Japan that were of the highest quality at this time. Kramer was contracting them to make all the Kramer stuff just after this kramer globe logo appeared. A logo with a globe next to the kramer logo is almost never seen!

Its my opinion that for a short time ESP wanted the whole contract, or to manufacture all the models for Kramer,  and was producing guitars for the Kramer corporation that were as good as a ESP branded guitar... Of course an ESP branded guitar from the "Golden Era of ESP" ...early 80s... were the equivelent to hand made and the best of the best! I believe this guitar is a predecessor or prototype to the JK2000 or an unmarked JK2000. Were gonna pop the neck off when it gets here in Scottsdale Arizona look for a model stamp in the neck pocket and post the pictures.

Thank you to my friends in Europe and around the world for finding this guitar for me to sell at AlienXnation.com!!!
