 KRAMER | | ELECTRIC: 250/350/450/650 ALUMINUM NECK SERIES | | In 1976, Kramer introduced their first aluminum neck models with the 350G and the 450G along with corresponding bass models 350B and 450B. According to Kramer's 1976 catalog, the first 350G does not have a center strip and has block inlays instead of dots. By 1977, Kramer had introduced two additional models with the entry-level 250G and the top of the line 650G. They also specified each model with a trim level that was designated by name including Special (250), Standard (350), Deluxe (450) and Artist (650).
