Guess I'll break down the old KFT2 & see what's what. Alas, like you, there are no wiring schematics for a single active pickup, V-T-T control, & preamp. ), & am ordering a Redeemer preamp (have used them before & they're Nashville's best kept secret!). Bought a deluxe (with binding) neck on the website we won't mention here, bought a under bridge saddle pickup, a thick piece of nut bone from GC, cut n shaped the base & hand shaped the base from that, ordered in a battery clip (from the auction site who will not be mentioned here), tuners (from the auction site.), three 500k mini pots (from the. I am just an enthusiast who wants to share the results of his research. Had tried to turn into a lefty, buggered up the bridge, gutted the wiring (& lost all the parts). Vintage Made in Japan guitar aficionado I do not consider myself a specialist, I still have a lot to learn about MIJ guitars. Generally, the ratio of basses to guitars produced was about 4:1, citation needed primarily because bass players were more willing to experiment. The 1/2 is a KST2 body that some ***** totally "*****'d" out. Kramers 'alumi-neck' line lasted roughly until 1982. They were all IN the pawn shops in the late 90's. A guy pleaded me into selling it to him for $175. Some elmers construction glue, a handmade wooden jig, drill, & two 1/8" wooden dowels, almost like new. Had owned a KFS2 I got for $50 cause the axe had slipped out of the guitar hanger n broken the headstock between the e & b strings. I, myself, have 1 and 1/2 Kramer Ferringtons. See the Ferrington Catalogs for more information.Hey sparky thanks for the reply,thats alot of work to do,I've got the preamp to was a total mess,there were wires everywhere jumped off each other,I'm surprised the thing still works & the previous owner is still alive.he/she probably didn't know that the saddles are part of the mix,& had wires come off?.I bought this for $50.00,it was in bad shape,I've resurfaced & refretted the neck,I'm in the process of sanding down the top of the bridge to accept the new transducer & bone saddle I made(original saddles are on mars or venus),so it can be intonated,the heel of the neck was sanded down lowering the neck in the pocket,combined with the resurface I had to do(there's a hole drilled right through the fretboard where a neck screw hole was drilled,I think this guitar had better chances in vietnam,than with whoever owned it before.the preamp is only supposed to have 5 wires & the saddle plug,this had about 10-11 😲amazing so I was just trying to go the easy way,but I've got to use the peanut sometime 😉 ,but don't worry guy's & gals,this won't be like mike tyson playing sqwuabble,ah sqwuapple yeah dats id Itink,everybody have fun & keep playing,I will attach a pic when the warlords finished holy smokes what a poor axe,soon to sparkle again (see the ad below)A few months later, the heads, like the USA Kramer lines, were changed to the pointy/droopy variety and diamond inlays in the fretboard. Colors were black, white, red and cherry sunburst. These sported thin bound front and back bodies, off-round sound hole, bolt on maple necks, banana headstocks, rosewood fretboards, and a passive transducer pickup mounted on the bridge with a volume and tone control on the upper horn of the body. These guitars were heavily advertised by big names such as EVH and Dweezil Zappa.The 1st batch of Ferringtons were offered in 1986, the KFS-1(Strat shape and the KFT-1(Tele shape). The idea was to have an acoustic with the feel of an electric. Ferrington designed all of the models of the Kramer Ferrington lines and Kramer had the majority of them made in Korea. This Kramer Ferrington acoustic-electric reflects one of those dialectical swings that occurred in the mid-1980s. They follow a loosely Hegelian dialectical process of first going one way, then leaping to an opposing pole, and finally ending somewhere in the middle, only to start the process over again. Chipboard case included$ 400.In 1985-86, Kramer began it's relationship with Danny Ferrington, the Nashville-based luthier who built several guitars for celebrities and, himself had became a reputable reputation for new designs of electric/acoustic guitars. It’s funny how history and evolution work. Plays and sounds amazing plugged in or acoustic. The following specs were carefully collected and recorded by a skilled technician.
