NGD: Another 80s MIJ Kramer

[BlueParfait]

Someone was selling this MIJ Kramer for ~$170

I had a floyd. I had pickups. All I needed were pots, a nut and a pair of wood screw pivot posts. So I bought those, bought the guitar and boom!

Man, it's insane how resonant this guitar is. Not a fan of where the toggle is, but cbf to mod that

Pickups are Tone Zone and PAF 36th Anniversary

I'm thinking the PAF 36 is too bright for this guitar, and simultaneously the Tone Zone too dark, actually
Might switch them out

Yes those were ESP body and neck original Floyd gotoh tuners and pickups . It’s not that long ago that they cost that complete . The Kramer American also ESP with Schaller tuners , Duncans and a Floyd used to go for only a bit more. Nobody wanted them.
They are great quality but they need a refret because they have an older style wire that actually was the reason they didn’t do that well I the first place. I usually put 6100 size on.
