Default Richie's Kramers

Hey guy's how are you? I'm new here and this is my first post. Just wondering if anyone could tell me what become of all the Kramer guitars Richie used around the mid to late 80's. I havn't seen any pics or footage of him with one in years. Anyone have any ideas?

Doesn't really answer the question what happened to all them though. Some were probably sold to collectors, Richie might still own some of them.

That's where quite a few of them were auctioned.

They did actually make a limited edition RS doubleneck Kramer but, with only 12 ever coming off the production line, you'd be hard pressed to find one and even harder pressed to afford one.

Ed Roman guitars has two I believe (or did have) but he was charging such an astronomical amount for them, it would probably have been cheaper to track down and buy the one Richie actually used on tour!

The original Kramer company went bust didnt they, Gibson bought the rights a few years back and are making replicas these days.

There were quite a few made as well for the japanese market, they were made of cheaper components compared with the 12 that were american but they can be had for considerably cheaper. They sometimes pop up on ebay etc.
