I bought my first Kramer in the mid 80's. A Pacer American (Made in USA). And I have loved them ever since. "It's all in the neck", used to be their slogan and that still holds true.
It's a pleasure to play this one. The neck is smooth, easy to play and after lowering the strings it felt a bit more like my old one.
I needed a second guitar as a backup, and was looking for something that looks good, plays well and at a decent price. And this one hit the spot.
There are 2 things I would (and probably will) change. The pickups will do for now, but eventually they will be swapped for DiMarzio. And the tremolo bar feels a bit cheap and flimsy compared to my other one.
Other than that, it's a great guitar for a great price!
Rock On!!
