When it comes to taking a stand on important issues, few rockers can match the intensity that Wayne Kramer and his fellow MC5 bandmates exuded. From their live performances—including the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago—to their hard rocking studio recordings, the message in the music was always front and center.

A half-century later, Wayne Kramer’s activism and intensity remain the same. When he commits to a cause, he’s all in with his heart and soul—and sometimes his autograph. AXE HEAVEN® is honored to be a part of this quintessential American rock legend’s efforts to support the important work of the not-for-profit organization Jail Guitar Doors.

To help Jail Guitar Doors acquire musical instruments, which are then donated to inmates for therapeutic use in the rehabilitation process, Kramer sold a limited quantity of autographed and personalized mini guitars that are a precise replica collectible of his famous “Stars N’ Stripes” Fender™ Strat™ (aka “Kick Out the Jams” Fender™ Stratocaster™).
