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!

This was a gift from my girlfriend. Guitar arrived in great condition, I did a quick minor set up (dropped the height of the Floyd), and took it right to a show. Performed the entire show with no issues whatsoever! I did a more thorough setup afterwards, and it has now become my go to guitar! Neck is dead straight, pickups are lively and plenty of bite. I'm looking for another guitar soon (I own 14 now, but you can never have enough!) , and Kramer is at the top of the list!

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!

I am very happy with my purchase. this guitar was very playable right out of the box. with very little set up. all I had to do is set the pickups to the proper height. great craftsmanship from Kramer never disappointing

This guitar is outstanding. Has the 80s written all over it. If you love 80s glam metal this guitar is for you. Very Crisp sound.

I had this guitar for over a week and returned it. Summary is that it felt like a cheap guitar with some higher end (mismatched) components added as an afterthought and a neat finish. I was going to chalk it up as a learning experience and move one but my Zzounds contact asked me to write an honest review so here it goes.

Solid, great-sounding guitar. Works well, has a great variety of tones from a combination of the pickups, coil-taps, and tone knobs.

Own it . I've waited to review this guitar is great for classic rock. The neck pickup when adjusted to right height . Push pull really gives alot of different tones. Bridge pick up is weak. I haven't changed yet but harmonics and sustain even with Floyd big block change it helps but not like you would think. I think most of the problem is treble bleed not a good thing . I've been reluctant to remove because of warranties but eventually I will. The way it plays is awesome the feel is very comfortable , stay in tune great really stable. I bend the.... Out of the Floyd perfect tune. But you need to know how to set up or it will be hell and you will blame guitar when it's not. I'm overall happy with it. Just a couple things to fix which is all part of personal preference .

I got this guitar, and the sticker on it says made in Indonesia. It does not come with a case, and I can't find an actual Kramer case. I found one company in England that sells them, but they don't ship to the U.S. The body is solid and heavy, and I really like the sounds I get out of it. It seems really well built. Here are the things I don't like about it.1. The whammy bar seems much harder to press than any of my other guitars with Floyd Roses. And it only pushes down. You can't pull up on it.2. It has a 22 fret neck - not 24.3. Because of the bolt on neck, I find it very hard to play in the upper frets 17-22. I have a Jackson Dinky DK2 (Pile of Skulls) and an ESP George Lynch GLK1 Kamikaze, and they are both way easier to play in the upper frets, and they both have bolt on necks.4. The high E string (1st string) seems to slip off the fret board very easily when I'm playing on it. I have 10's on the guitar, so not the heaviest gauge, but also not the lightest. I don't have this problem with my other guitars.Overall it's a solid guitar, looks really cool (I think), and sounds good. I do like it, but I think if I had it to do over again, I think you can find better playing guitars for the money. I did not require any manufacturer support, but you can't leave a rating blank, so I just picked 3.

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.

My first "real guitar" was a Kramer that I've got when I was 20 years old back in 80's. Even though were a nice guitar I became more Fender and Gibson guy and that one became my only Kramer axe in my collection. Couple yeas ago I saw Satchel from Steel Panther playing a Kramer Pacer and since them I bought 3 of these guitars to include them in my collection. They sound really cool, feels great, easy playing and totally affordable. I do believe you don't need an expensive guitar to have a great sound as long as you know how to use your fingers and this is a good example about how to get an amazing quality of sound for 700 bucks.
