Kramer, a brand that spearheaded the 80s metal scene and is highly popular among HR/HM guitarists.
This particular instrument is a used guitar manufactured by ESP in Japan, and based on its specifications, it appears to be from the late 1980s.
It features a basswood body, a maple neck with a distinctive banana headstock, and a rosewood fingerboard.
The neck has a thin grip shape and 22 jumbo frets, giving it an advantage for Kramer's characteristic fast playing and lead work.
The pickup configuration is S-H, and the controls are simple yet versatile, with a master volume and a 3-way pickup selector, making it suitable for a wide range of musical genres.
The bridge is equipped with a Japanese-made locking tremolo unit TRS-101, allowing for stable tremolo action.
The guitar shows signs of wear commensurate with its age, including scratches on the back of the body, cracks in the paint at the neck joint, and overall wear such as scratches, scuffs, minor dents, and tarnishing of parts and paint.
The frets show no significant visible wear and retain approximately 80% of their height, allowing for smooth playing without noticeable buzzing or dead spots.
Weight: Approximately 3.78kg (with tremolo arm attached)
