If you're into Kramer, Fender JV & SQ Series, Schecter, Rickenbacker (more like if you're into Townshend, Eddie, Lennon, Sambora, Clapton, Lynch, Mars -both Mick and Johnny, and Cobain), then you came to the right place!!
The year was 1980 and the music scene was dynamic, to say the least. The Bee Gees and ABBA were on the decline and The Clash was about to release their finest album yet, London Calling. Perhaps Townshend summed it up best when he penned, (goodbye) Sister Disco. Eddie and Diamond Dave were still rockin' together and it was also the year that John was taken from us. Who could have thought that the decade would end with spandex and big hair heavy metal bands?
The guitar scene was also rapidly changing. The previous year saw the release of the Stratocaster's 25th Silver Anniversary model, and in a couple more years Fender would launch their JV Series in Japan and Elite models with onboard active electronics. Kramer was replacing their aluminum necks, which had been their hallmark for years, with traditional wood. The Pacer, both the guitar and the car (remember those?), was about to be unleashed on to the American market.
