No better guitar for the price,it's an actual Floyd Rose special ,I thought it would say something else,and mine flutters, dives ,etc....and stays in tune so far! (2-3 months).Intonation was perfect which was soooo nice!! I put a Seymour Duncan 78 in the bridge with a Quarter pounder in the neck and ...WOW!!! Big difference,especially in the sustain department.Playing out of a Katana MK2 Artist amp.The guitar plays actually better than my old 80s Barretta, and my 90s Ibanez RG 550, no lie!!! Very happy!! Was going to put the Gotoh 1996 tremelo in...but this special is actually fine, so I put it in another guitar!!! I think I'm going to buy another one of these Striker's!!! Super happy!!!

I was very much looking forward to this guitar. However upon arrival I quickly discovered that the QC inspector at Kramer never checked anything. Tuners not screwed down in the back. Literally sticking up. The Neck crooked and loose because the neck screws were not tightened. The claw was not centered and was hitting the inside of the cavity. The frets were never done at all.The Neck was also not shimmed at all and had an unplayable sky high action. Intonation of course was never done. If you get one with the number 7 QC inspector sticker on the back look out. Of course zZounds made it right by me, and it is not their fault. But shame on Gibson.

You’re going to need to know how to set up a guitar like this or plan on taking it to someone who does as soon as you get it. I performed a truss rod adjustment, lowered the action and set it up for play with EVH .009-.046 strings. The strings that come on it are .010, and feel like razor wire. That being said, this is an absolute KILLER guitar! Forget the whole “for the price” business; this guitar plays great and sounds absolutely amazing. I’d put it up against guitars that cost five times more, no joke. If you want some slammin’ 80’s metal/Van Halen tones, this is your guitar. It stays perfectly in tune dive bomb after dive bomb, and tapping is easy as well. People always talk about changing the pickups, but I see no need for that. I play through a Boss Katana Mk2 50 with brown sound, a bit of delay, boost and reverb (got the Boss through Zzounds as well). Fit and finish is excellent on my particular guitar with NO SHARP FRET ENDS! A little tweaking and this guitar is truly great. I highly recommend it! I gave it 4.5 stars on ease of use simply because of having to do a setup. I have not had to use customer support.

"Kramer Striker 2"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I was so impressed with my first Striker that I purchased a second one in red that I keep tuned down a half step. I honestly can’t say enough great things about Kramer and these guitars! I received my new one yesterday and unboxed it this morning. All I did was lower the action, tuned it up and it was ready to go. Amazing sound and tone! There’s no reason to spend $1100 on a guitar when the Striker is every bit as good. I like this guitar much better than the two EVH Wolfgang Standards that I’ve owned. I play Sabbath, Dio, Van Halen and the like, and this guitar does it all with ease. You will NOT be disappointed!!

This guitar plays awesome! Didn't really have to do anything to it other than tune it. I couldn't get a better price anywhere else. And it sounds great. Will definitely be buying more products from zZounds.
