Guitar ID help...

[juliebugg]

Ok so I just aquired a guitar and I am having the hardest time figuring out what kind of guitar it is. I guess a better way to ask would be who the manufacturer is because it's obviously an electric guitar. Anyhow, the body looks like a fender stratocaster but the headstock is different- it's like a triangle with straight lines as opposed to the fender which is straight on one side and the curves down the other side- it's metallic red with a black pick guard and instead of dots marking the fretboard there are stars except for the 12th which has 2 tiny saturns. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Looks like a Kramer headstock.

Sambora Neck - Rosewood fretboard, 25 1/2" scale, "Star" inlays, RS trussrod cover and some featured a star on the headstock. Available in maple and rosewood as an option. Headstock also was available as black with gold logo or white with gold logo.

just noticed...

I was looking at the headstock up at the top and i can kinda see something that was sanded off- I assume- I can clearly make out "3000" at the end and i think that the work ends with force maybe...

It's a Starforce.

Any serial numbers on the neck plate? Bolt on neck? I think it's a kramer neck but i can't see the body very well in the pic.Possibly someone put a kramer neck on another body and that's why they sanded off the logo.

Hey Julie, I would be little to no help on anyone trying to identify a not-so-obvious guitar, I just thought I'd chime in and tell you that other people would help you better if they saw pictures I'd trust these guys though. good luck.

Look at post #3.

This first link is for the Starforce 8007....the star and planet inlays are mentioned multiple times

Your "3000" on the headstock is probably an "8000".

Here's the link to the 8000 model, but there's no mention of the star/planet inlays....so it sounds like you have the 8007 model.

Those star inlays make it look like some Richie Sambora model. Did Kramer make one of them?

Yes they did-

 

[Sirnothingness]

But his guitars had star inlays with an outline not solid. So maybe it's just a homemade job. Still looks like Kramer.

See post #6. Pix in post #3 look just like it with headstock stripped.

So did I win?



When will you be sending me the guitar, Julie?

This has been really fun.

You won an ugly piece of shit guitar with stars on the neck. Congrats!

If it had Pluto on the twelfth fret it would be a collector's item for sure.

Yeah, Especially with the head stock sanded and repainted.
