I thought this was kinda cool. January 1975 I believe.

That's a good old image - looks like a 1969 Lennon standing behind the post watching the guy play.

That 4005 is MASSIVE next to the 450.

Thanks for posting.

Lots of hair... AND a furry jacket. :lol:

I went on an aluminum guitar research mission yesterday after playing a monster, all aluminum 12 string bass in the morning from the Electrical Guitar Company. What a neck! So I learned more about that company, Travis Bean, Veleno, and of course Kramer. I will bravely admit that I sold my first Ric - a white '79 4001 - to buy a Kramer. I had it de-fretted about 20 years ago, and it's great!

Funny you say that as the t-shirt got my attention. What's on the t-shirt anyway? :?:

The angle of the necks on the double necks is interesting, imo.
