Dates of manufacture:
The Kramer Striker 100ST was the Korean made budget version of the Baretta model, with a single angled humbucker at the bridge and a single volume control. Introduced in 1984 initially the 100ST had a traditional style tremolo but this was almost immediately changed to a Floyd Rose tremolo without fine tuners and no locking nut. In 1987 the bridge was changed to a Floyd Rose II unit with fine tuners, recessed cavity and a locking nut, the headstock shape changed and the body became more narrow waisted and less strat-like.
In 1988 this model name was changed to the ST100 and the hardware color became black. At this time the headstock shape also changed to a pointed design and was black-faced with a large "KRAMER" logo. In 1989 the Kramer ST100 was discontinued.
