Important to note that Kramer never offered the 5150 guitar or one similar (other than the standard Pacer) for sale (source MusicYo.com).

In 1984 Kramer designed a replica of Ed's famous Frankenstrat specifically for EVH so Ed could retire the famous home made axe. The one new feature was the design of a assymentrical neck which basically features a different radius throughout the width of the neck. This is the first use of the assymetrical neck shape that is seen later on the EBMM EVH/Axis and Peavey Wolfgang guitars.

A close approximation for the pickup is either the Seymour Duncan Custom Custom or Dimarzio Tone Zone. The SD pickup was designed for the 5150 while the Dimarzio is a close approximation to the pickup designed for the EBMM EVH/Axis guitars.

The guitar was called the 5150 as Ed wanted the serial number to be 5150 (the same name as his personal studio). The actual serial number is 5150c with the C=California.

Do you live outside the USA but still want a new Kramer? Well, for International buyers MusicYo.com only ships to the US. However it turns out that if you order through Amazon, the International restriction is not imposed. And with the US Dollar a bit down, European buyers especially can get a great deal and shipping isn't too expensive either.
