A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

So SCHOOL ME on the Kramer Pacer.

Should I abandon the current crop, or go vintage (are they available vintage), and where are they made?

I don't think they are available vintage unless they are custom. The one I looked at on rverb was listed as being MIK. Hardware looks to be Korean Floyd Rose, so it is good.

If you like the neck, it looks like a winner.

Do you have one or had one?

I like the medium jumbo frets (don't do jumbo) but have never played one.

Very George Lynch vibe there. Love it.

I could never own a guitar like that. You pull that bad ass out and you better be able to bring it with your chops! I, sadly, cannot bring it. I'll have to live vicariously through you.

No. I played a 1984, and I assume the neck to be a similar carve, and I didn't dig it. It's all personal taste. Like how I dig big frets.

I do know this -- some modern Kramers use cheaper hardware, in accordance with their price point. This one seems to use the OFR stuff, which is a good sign.

Is that new or used?

Not sure, that's just a good pic of one I found, stock if you will. But I've been looking at used ones. I think the MIK ones are all used, not sure if the new ones are MIK, Indonesia I've heard.

The Kramer site I says it has a maple body, so there is that. Not sure how that plays out in terms of weight. JB and Jazz too.

Personally, I get all warm and fuzzy over this one...

Don't know what the Customs are, but check out this Custom II 'Holoflash'... cool

Isn't a Kramer Pacer what Satchel of Steel Panther plays?

Cool looking guitar. I've gotta admit though, I'm confused about the rational for outfitting a guitar with only a bridge and middle humbucker.

I never got that when it came out...Vivian Campbell liked it, I guess.
