Product Rating Product Review This guitar far exceeded my expectations for the price. Right out of the box the set up and sound was great. The aftermarket Floyd kept tune very well. I saw other reviews that were overly critical about this guitar. I did not experience any problems. It had everything I was looking for. I bought it at a huge mark down as a blem but found no cosmetic or setup defects. It was a 600 dollar guitar for almost half price. I will most likely buy another, possibly the gold sparkle or the tiger. Thanks again!!!!

Pass On This One

Product Review I, like many other reviewers, am a Kramer fan from decades ago. My first guitar was a Focus 3000. Before buying this guitar, my plan was to replace the bridge, tuners, and pickups. I had low expectations at this price, and I was still disappointed. The bad: Body: The white finish has black and brown specks of debris under the top coat. There are a couple of bumps in the finish similar to an air bubble, but it looks more like Kramer's spray equipment was spitting out solids. Tuning machines: Atrocious. They don't even resemble usable. You can turn and turn without change in pitch, then suddenly the tension jumps far beyond what you're expecting. One tuner even tightened up to the point of being unmovable - I could only reverse direction. The bridge and pickups: About what I was expecting. They're cheap parts. The bridge should be a direct swap for an original Floyd. The Good: It plays well. The neck feels good and it resonates well. This is the only reason I'm keeping it. There are no dead spots on the fret board. It needs intonation, but that is to be expected. I would not recommend this guitar for a beginner. It needs too many hardware upgrades to be considered even "decent". Based on the crap finish, I would not recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a base model to hot rod.

Product Review I started out with Kramer’s as a beginner in 1986 and being that EVH was my favorite player and a Kramer endorser, I had to have one! Since that time I’ve played many different brands that were mostly decent. I decided to try the new Kramer’s out and I have to say, WOW! The Kramer Pacer classic and Kramer Pacer Vintage are as good if not better then the originals from the 1980’s! The sound, the feel, the look, I feel right at home with the new Kramer’s! And he prices are great too! Thanks AMS for your great customer service and carrying great gear! You are know my main source for everything guitar related!

Product Review Out of the box it is set up pretty nice. The finish is great. Hardware seems good. I set it up for half step down, and I love it. Going to order another for sure.

Product Review Absolutely love this guitar - Just purchased from American Musical and received it in two days as advertised. The action on the neck is set perfectly out of the box. I did have to use the fine tuners to get it perfect which is what I expected. I've read other reviews that people think the pick ups are a little muddy but I love them. I may upgrade later but out of the box they aren't bad at all. Highly Recommend!

Product Review Plays great right out of the box. The pick ups are a little muddy, but I planned on changing them anyway. All in all a great deal!

Not as good as I was hoping

Product Review The guitar is very comfortable to play, and the neck feels very good. However, the pickups do not have a good sound. I think it is partly due to the treble bleed, which, in my opinion, adds too much treble to the sound. The quality is actually quite good for the price.Fit and finish are very good. The neck feels good, and it plays well in your hands. I am not crazy about the small toggle switch. Tone, due to the treble bleed, is a little too bright, in my opinion. Paint and finish look very good. For the price, it is a good guitar. Action was very good out of the box. I did not have to make any adjustments.

Guitar appears to be very well made, as far as dependability, I've only had it a few months. I see no major concerns in the future with this guitar. everything is still working and I see no reason with the quality of this guitar for that to change any time soon. Your general opinion of this product. Bang for the buck, you can't go wrong with this guitar. Fast neck, frets well dressed. I don't like the seperate volume knobs for each pickup and will wire them to just the front volume pot. Pickup selector could also be moved forward for easier access. all around decent tone, pickups could be hotter, but hey, it's a $370.00 guitar. I'll be dropping pickups in when I rewire the volume control mess. perfect! I acually bought a blemished, and when I took it out of the box I could not find a single mark on it! Guitars hanging on racks at the local music store have more scratches. Saved like $125.00 off sale price. Came to my door set up perfect. action high enough for good sustain and low enough to pull off any manuever neccessary. Intonation was set on the nose and no buzzing at any fret could be found. Very happy!

Pickups and tuning keys bring this from 4 to 5. Floyd is heavy and not bad for a Licensed version. Stock pickups are OK ... but needed to be upgraded. Had a 2 weeks, can't say anything yet. Your general opinion of this product. A few tweaks and "Made in Indonesia" means nothing. 10/10 ... fast not Ibanez wizard thin, but still feels nice, easy access to controls ... like the ability to control volume of both pickups individually original pickups were to bass-y and muddy ... Beautiful finish. High, had to lower, intonation was spot on.

Of the highest quality, I would stack it up against any other brand on the market today! Has very good sound, the pick-ups have the sound of a PAF Pro style humbucker. I have had no problems as of yet and do not see any to come. Your general opinion of this product. This is one of the best guitars that I have ever owned or played...Reminds me of the 80's and guitars ruled!! Great balance and a fast neck. The controls are fine. I play lot of 80's music (Ratt,The Crue, Van Halen, etc) and it lives up to the my needs. I got a scratch & Dent model but found one problem w/the finish... Smooth and super fast. low string setting and set-up wonderfully out of the box.
