The first run of guitars were the 450G(guitar), 450B(bass) and the cheaper 350G and 350B. The 450s and 350s both had offset double cutaway bodies. The 450s had a walnut body with 2 maple strips going down the middle. 450s also had 2 humbuckers, 3 way switches, 2 vol and 2 tone knobs and a combo bridge/tailpiece. The earlier 450s also had square block shaped inlays on the fretboard. In 1977, when the new generation series came out, the 450 became the 450 Deluxe which had slightly shorter horns.
The 350 series was a cheaper alternative to the 450s. The 350 guitar had a smaller body and 2 single coil chrome covered pickups while the 350 bass had only one pickup. The 350 and 450s lasted until 1979 and 1980, respectively.

The Kramer aluminum neck era ran from 1976 to 1985 and was the legacy of the company before switching over to the more popular wood neck models uring the 80s. The first production batch of Kramers were introduced in November 1976. All of these early Kramers featured a "forked" aluminum headstock and aluminum "skeletal" neck (the Dukes had no headstock). These necks, designed for sustain, contained slots that ran the length of the neck for holding the wood fills in place. (See diagram) The idea of the wood inlays were to reduce the coldness feel of aluminum. Usually but not always, the wood neck fills were the same type and color as the body. The Ebonol fretboard contained large Phil Petillo designed "center-touch" frets, a zero nut and aluminum dot inlays. The higher up models had the mother of pearl "crown" shaped inlays. Scale lengths were 25". Tuners were Schallers. They were manufactured at the Kaiser Aluminum plant on East Avenue in Erie, Pennsylvania. The necks were attached to the body by two bolts and the bolts were covered by an oval shaped aluminum plate. Control cavity covers were also aluminum. Some bass models were available fretless as well as half
