Yes. It's a term among Kramer fans to differentiate the Fender angle headstock to the more Jackson/Gibson angle headstock.

Yes, Kramer went through a bunch of different Banana/Hockeystick heads which are varying in degrees of desirability and rarity.

Early in my guitar enthusiast days I nerded out big time on Kramer guitars, and while I don't really "care" anymore, that info never left my head.

All good. I figured most would want the “non tilt” cause of Eddie’s. And while this is somewhat in homage of his, it’s just some parts I came across that made sense to put together in the end for me! I really had nothing in mind besides “it’s kinda Kramer’y,” lol

Guitar looks amazing! I love every thing about it
Reminds me a bit of the first guitar I ever bought with my own money back in 1985 (still have it).

I did figure it was the headstock but none of those headstocks look good to me. Too thin! Eddie’s is maybe too long! Lol. And this might be a little “fat”. I considered slimming it down a touch but like any builder or creator, I lay this shit out and just look at it. Stare at it and stare at it until shit enter my brain as to what to do to make it look better. And I felt the headstock looked right! I’d guess it’s maybe close to an old Hamer headstock if I had a guess

Its definitely a sweet guitar. I built something similar from Butala parts a couple years ago, but with a beak neck. I recently stole that neck to put on a different body, so now I've gotta get another neck, and pickup for that build. I'm thinking I'll likely go with some Banana variant.
