1978 Kramer XL-8 Black

TRADES - LAYAWAY - 0% FINANCING 

Weight: 11.3 lb

Case: Case

Year: 1978 (best estimate)

Cosmetic Condition: Very good.  There is a bit of surface scratching throughout the bass, not no major/deep scratching.  The hardware does have some oxidation as well.  On the neck the clearcoat finish over the aluminum has chipped off in various places which is super common for these Kramer guitars/basses.  There is a very small chip by the backplate also, as well as a few dings on the body of the bass.  See our listing photos for detailed shots.  

SETUP & INSPECTED BY OUR LUTHIER

TECH NOTES: Looks all original. Has typical "Kramer" neck bow. Since they have no truss rod, these necks tend to get lots of relief causing high action but playable through the 10th fret or so. We have had many Kramers of this vintage through and 9 out of 10 of them are like this.

Fantastic company. Answered my email promptly and shipped very quickly! I highly recommend Ish Guitars!

Awesome transaction! I bought a pretty special guitar (previously owned by a famous guitarist), and Ish nailed it. Ethical dealer, quick ship, and fast responses. I look forward to doing business with them again in the future!
