Overall: I always wanted one of these purely for the looks, but I must say I was very surprised on the playability and craftsmanship once I got it. I have few super strats: 2 Charvel Pro Mods (1 Japan, 1 USA) and 2 Jackson Adrian Smiths (1 USA, 1 SDX Import) and I find myself playing this one the most. I'm really a fan of the Kramer body shape in comparison to the others..I feel the higher frets are easier to reach on it and really like the feel of the neck. I was shocked on how well the action was setup and straight/flat the neck was for a foreign guitar...they did a great job. The Seymour Duncans are smoking and deliver amazing tones, from thumping lows to shimmering highs. I bought the blemished model option and still can't figure out why it was blemished. I would buy another one of these in a heartbeat...I wish they had more colors/options available, but I guess it appeals to a niche audience. My only complaint is that the guitar is a little on the heavy side due to the all maple construction....but all maple delivers some pretty amazing tone so its a good sacrifice. Highly recommend it!

Overall: Since picking the guitar back up a few years back, I have struggled to find a guitar that was perfect for me. This one is everything I wanted. The Floyd, Seymour JB and JN, and the lovely flamed top. I was concerned about the neck radius but it was fine. The tone for me is great! I know the other review didn't like it but I use a 6505+ and maybe it balances it out. I also use a BOSS EQ and it asists in the tone( it was muddy with previous instruments). With this guitar, I can get the sound I want whether its a nice clean or full blown scream! It is very simliar to the Charvel So CAl which I also looked at. I feel like its easier to use the upper frets on this Kramer though. The only think that seems worthless is the treble bleed. Not necessary at all! After a quick set up, which you should do, it was perfect! I have owned Charvels,Fenders,and others and this guitar (at least mine) is quality. Recommend it for anyone who wants an awesome guitar! This was my first purchase from zZounds. Got the instrument I was looking for and zZounds customer service has been great!

Overall: I bought this thinking it would rank up there with my George Lynch signature models. However, I was wrong. The guitar had a few minor finish flaws. The action sucked and the tone was super bright. I expected bright but the JB in the bridge didn't have any grind or bite. The treble bleed caps really hurt the overall tone. When rolling the volume down, the tone is biting and shrill. I play through a Randall Lynch Box tube amp so I know it wasn't the amp. All my other guitars sound great. I just really expected better from a Gibson company. It looks great but needs modification. For 759 dollars, you can find better deals.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
