This is a 1983 “Holy Grail” inspired Kramer Baretta Replica. I had it custom made to order by Funk Guitars USA in 2023 who has made several guitars for me and who I know personally. All hand made, high quality woods / materials and so amazingly close to the real thing. A fantastic piece for any Edward Van Halen / Vintage Kramer enthusiast. A true “player”.
It features the non-angled banana headstock and nearly a perfect Holy Grail neck shape. Alder body, unfinished (oil-rubbed) maple neck with a thick rosewood fingerboard. I chose to do a chrome German-made Floyd Rose bridge with a brass block, Dimarzio pick-ups (Tone Zone zebra in the bridge / Injector single coil neck – to add tone versatility). They are direct mounted with no pick-up rings for a cleaner look. Gotoh tuners. It comes with and will be shipped in a hardshell TourTek case.
It’s totally mint / like new condition, barely played and kept in a smoke-free environment. I paid $1800 (without the case) to have it custom built. It’s an awesome guitar. Looks, feels and sounds amazing. And to me, a real benefit here is that it’s all hand made by a seasoned US guitar builder with deep knowledge of the Holy Grail. Hand picked woods, etc.. Like in a custom shop.
I’m selling it simply because I don’t play it enough. It should go to someone who can enjoy it more.
Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m also happy to send more pics if you’re interested. Thanks.
