Here is what appears to be a fine example of a Voyager from about the time when Kramer first started using the Original Floyd Rose.
This one has what is commonly referred to as a "chicken beak" or classic headstock shape. Kramer is mostly recognized today by their later pointy Jackson like headstock shape or maybe the "banana" headstock.
What most people dont realize is that Kramers' first wood necks used a headstock design similar to a Fender Stratocaster. It was so similar that Fender threatened to sue Kramer if they didn't change it. So Kramers' answer was to simply shave off the rounded ball like end, and as a result the classic or "beak" was born!This guitar came in original Kramer case that sports the old tuning fork style logo. This design was most commonly associated with Kramers' aluminum necks who's head stocks looked similar to a tuning fork.
All in all I'd say this Voyager looks like it was pretty well taken care of. I just love seeing an old Kramer in good condition...
I really like that Voyager you posted about! Thats why I own it... lol!
