You are looking a the Hot Rod of the guitar world. 1983-1984 Kramer Baretta. I am not 100% sure if this is a 1983 or 1984, I purchased this from a friend back in early 2000 and he said it was a 1984. I have played it privately ever since. The strings are not new, but still have some life in them. I had this for local pick-up. I have changed it to accept within the US. Since I know this can get pricey
I have also reduced my original price to help you with those fees. Please keep in mind I will be incurring fees myself since I have decided to accept shipping withing US. I have sold some of my guitars before so I know how pricey it can get, and since I have received requests in letting it be shipped I will extend this sell to include US shipping. Asking Price: $1,325.00 with Case & Guitar Strap  OR  $1,200.00 without Case or Guitar Strap.
So, you have the option of choosing with a case or without. Let me know if you don't want the case or the strap. So, I can adjust the price before you pay for it. Or you can submit an offer of $1,200.00 and put in the notes with no case or guitar strap.

Product Information: The '84 Baretta solid body electric that helped define the sound of shredtastic 80's rock. Eddie Van Halen played and endorsed them early on, and just one look will tell you why. The 83/84 is equipped for no-nonsense, fast-paced performance. The single Seymour Duncan JB humbucker at the bridge boasts aggressive output that's enhanced by the lack of a tone circuit. The 83/84 is made to shred, any amplifier will be at your mercy. Rocking hard since the 80's with both humbucking and single-coil tones from one Seymour Duncan JB pickup on such a shred-ready guitar, it would almost be insulting to put a neck pickup on it. But Kramer also wants to give you awesome, wide-ranging tone. So they equipped The 84 with a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker, known for its exceptionally strong output and clear, articulate highs. Additionally, you've get a push/pull coil tap in the volume control, so you've also got single-coil tones ready to rock too. Floyd Rose tremolo gives you expressiveness tuning stability.  This Kramer with its smooth Floyd Rose tremolo bridge you can squeal and dive-bomb all night long. And because it's got a locking nut, you'll maintain your tuning stability even when you're rocking as hard as you can. 80's Kramer guitars were at the forefront of the '80s metal scene, with endorsements from pros like Eddie Van Halen, Neil Schon, Richie Sambora and others. Kramer guitars like The 84 have been the guitar of choice for some of the hardest rocking guitarists in the world. You're getting more than a great value with Kramer's The 84, you're getting a guitar that's built to rock.If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
