Is this one of his guitars?

Was Kramer the main manufacturer of this kind of guitar?

Didn't Kramer just adopt the aluminum necks at one point (like their wooden-necked stuff first came with Strat headstocks in the early EVH days, pre the "beak" headstock as on that one's 2nd neck)? Were they the manufacturers of Travis Bean's designs, or was it a licensing deal? Probably could find out at the Kramer forum...there's some cool VH guitar content over there...


Regardless, RIP Travis Bean. :(

Now there's a name from the past. Pretty innovative of him to invent the aluminum necks. Never warp or twist. Very cool,verrry heavy!
