Kramer Voyager restoration

[samdjr74]

Hi All,

i just got my hands on a 80's Kramer voyager body. I want to restore this guitar back to original condition but I'm having a hard time finding info on what this guitar originally came with. I need to know what pickups, neck and tremolo it had, this is the later style body with the 3 humbuckers and pointed edges.

thanks,

Sam

well even if you found all original style hardware and installed it from what i understand it would still not be considered original.

i think if it was me i would just put all the best in it and make it a player......but that is just my thought

Yeah i know it won't be original and i was thinking of just going to warmoth and buying a new neck, dropping in some SD's and a lopr Floyd but when I was 17 many years ago (12 to be exact) i had an original voyager that sounded great and played like butter. I guess I'm trying to recapture a long last day in my life.

be careful that the neck will fit.i think the kramer has a neck pocket,bridge relationship that will work with a warmoth neck....but a lot of guitars don't.

esp for example hasa neck desighn that is not compatible with warmoth,jackson,or basically any other guitar

My Kramer Focus neck was VERY tight on my warmoth body

I actualy had to do some sanding to get it to fit properly

Just a "heads up"

with all the used necks around, including many on ebay, why would you want to match up a good old body with a honky new neck ?

[samdjr74]

Well I'd like to get the correct neck for this body. So far I think I need the later pointy style neck that say's Kramer with the letters getting smaller and american in script. Worse case senario I will make it into a real player with a warmoth neck and speedloader but I hate to do that to such a cool looking guitar. The finish is a swirl paint lik the old Jems

I bought 5 of those pointy Kramer necks about 8 years ago, but I sold all except one and he's on a body
