Sports Factory Pictures - 1970's - 1980's

Here's a rare look into the production factilities at Sports where the majority of Kramer bodies and necks were made before Kramer moved most of their raw construction to ESP Japan in 1986. Sports was actually a gunstock and decoy manufacturer prior to Kramer using them for body and neck construction. It should be noted that every Kramer body and neck combination that came from Sports, then was assembled in Neptune are the "True" USA Kramer Guitars. If you own a C series or before Kramer Guitar thats of the wooden variety, it was more than likely "crafted" in this facility before being assembled in Neptune, NJ. A very special thanks to Bob Corson Jr. for these photos.
