I Built an Eddie Van Halen Kramer 5150 when I was 14 Years Old 

Awesome build! And your play Eddie stuff extremely well! I owned a Baretta I got in '87 when I was thirteen. When I was fourteen, I did something really stupid with the guitar and broke off the pointy tip of the headstock. It was a non-hockey stick headstock, and I wanted the hockey stick one. But I did this stupid thing where I threw my guitar over my shoulder and was supposed to catch it, a common stage move in those days, but I wanted to show my friends I could do this standing on my front lawn. The guitar came loose and hit the lawn headstock first and the tip of it broke off, and I had no more high E string tuner. Well, I found the tuner, and I used crazy glue to fix the headstock. But it never sounded the same. it had lost a serious boatload of tone. So about a week later I went to my local shop and bought a Chandler neck with a hockey stick headstock and had them throw it on. Let me tell you, it sounded WAY better than it did before I broke the old neck. I think the combination of the wood, the larger mass on the headstock, and the rosewood fretboard as opposed to maple made an incredible difference. I don't know what the body was made of. It could have been alder, or poplar. It wasn't the heaviest nor lightest ax I've ever owned. But by god, it was one of the best sounding with that new neck. I wish I still had it. The body was creme color, which was unusual for a Baretta. The hardware was black. Anyhow, that's my Kramer Baretta story from the hair metal days! Keep rocking!

That's really nice. The sound is kick 'n ass. Nice job and thanks for sharing this with us.

Great playing!!!! sounds really good!!!

Amazing playing

That sounds fucking amazing I literally went holy shit pretty much exact to eddies sound

Great looking guitar! I have a box of similar parts, Pariah 1986 pickup, and a neck and body from KNE in the mail. Excited to join the "club"

My understanding, the current state of the Kramer 5150 is pretty bad. I've seen a photo of it. Rough! Severe road rash. Eddie could only get about 3 tours out of one guitar before retirement. Same thing happened to the original Frankenstrat. At some point the headstock on the Kramer snapped between High E and B tuners. Ed or his guitar tech glued it back on but relocated the high E tuner to the bottom side of the head stock. Just looks bad. I could be wrong but i remember reading Ed used it on Judgement Day on the FUCK album. I'd like to see a proper photo shoot with all his most famous guitars. And i loved that amber Ernie Ball he used for 5 years.

Good job

I gotta get me to be as a show piece. Looks great dude. Seymour Was the right way to go Brother. Don’t forget Huff lol

The headstock looks like a Kramer the 84 which I believe is not %100 the same as Eddie Kramer 5150. Very close but not the same.

Thanks Jeremy. I feel like an oncompetant moron: you built that at 14/15! I would actually buy a guitar from you, if it were like that.

I have just found out Giant and Nightranger will be releasing new albums in 2021. Can you please find out more on this maestro. Cheers

Nice job, bro.

Sounds like a 5150 dream...
