YES it is full neck dive, full weight, and sensible to weather (it’s aluminium, don’t need a PHD to understand that you just have to check for no fast weather change situations open the case 1/4 inch for 15 minutes then ok - i live in QBC so i know about weather changes.

The “fork” headstock shape is very intentional not just for style but also for sustain reasons.
Over the course of Kramer’s early history, aluminum necks were produced for almost a full decade from 1976 to 1985. YouTube user Thinkitis posted a video recently of a Kramer DMZ 5000 featuring an aluminum neck.
