I am not dealing with the “I’ll send you a check”. Thanks to this stupid Covid crap I need the money. And I have included photos to show you what others are being sold for. HATE to do this, but I must sell my 1986 vintage Kramer Ferrington acoustic/electric guitar.

Kramer Ferrington Telecaster - $550 (Heights). (Unfortunately, the only thing holding them in is the strings, which is why practically every used one you see is missing saddles.) This might be another reason why some people opted to replace the entire bridge. Replacing these with some other material will not work properly & probably also reduce the value of your guitar. (Use ultra-lights and/or tune down.)įor the guy with a blue one, I haven’t seen a record of any being produced in that color, so may not be original paint.įinally, the bridge saddles are individual pieces that are actually metal-wrapped magnets. I’ve heard that these guitars – especially the 12-string versions – can have problems w/ the bridges pulling out/up from string tension and because of the thin tops & weak bracing. Re: Ferringtons w/o bridge pins, all of the ones pictured in the original catalogs had bridge pins, so I suspect that the bridge has been replaced. The Vintage Kramer site is the best I’ve seen in terms of info about Ferringtons. I have one just like the guitar pictured, except it’s red. Kramer was pretty good at selling guitars. I don’t know if the Korean-made Kramer Ferringtons were plentiful or not, but it’s fairly easy to find them for sale. Danny Ferrington relocated to Los Angeles and marketed the KFS-1 and KFT-2 with the Ferrington brand name for a bit, but the guitars trailed off fairly quickly. The Kramer Ferrington line lasted until the end in 1990, when Kramer imploded. I only ever saw a couple of them in stores and they were pricey and hung around for quite awhile. These were upscale guitars with solid spruce tops, set-in necks, and asymmetrical Ferrington shapes. Marketing and reality are often at odds when it comes to classic Kramer guitars, so who knows! But they probably were American made and not Korean. In 1988 Kramer introduced Ferrington Signature models which were supposed to be made by Danny Ferrington himself in the U.S., or at least under his supervision. By 1987 some plainer KFS-2 and KFT-2 models were introduced, mainly without neck binding and with dot inlays. The necks were bolted on and featured a variety of headstock shapes and fingerboard inlays that evolved over the life of the line. They had a transducer pickup under the saddle with volume and tone controls. Kramer Ferringtons had very lightweight bodies and came in black, white, red, and sunburst. It didn’t sell well, so you’re likely to find copies still available and should pick one up for your library. That book, by the way, was asymmetrically shaped and beautiful. Ferrington when reviewing a book on his guitars that came out in 1992. I’m not sure whether Ferrington made the Strat- and Tele-shaped designs before hooking up with Kramer or not, but he designed these, the KFS-1 and KFT-1, for Kramer and they debuted in 1986, made in Korea. Ferrington’s main thing was to design guitars with asymmetrical or unusual shapes. Rather, it was the last name of Danny Ferrington, somewhat of a celebrity luthier living in Nashville at the time who’d built guitars for a number of stars.
