Kramer Striker HSS Modern Floyd Rose, Ebony

The guitar came well packaged, and set up. All I had to do was tune it up and it was ready to go. Neck feels great fret work is smooth! Pickups are good too! This is a great rock guitar.

My first guitar was a Kramer striker in 1986. I love this guitar and I recommended it to my son and bought him one for his 15th birthday. Upon delivery. I quickly discovered that the low E string was actually hitting one of the single coil pick ups and, if you deployed the Floyd Rose, all strings will run into the Humbucker This lack of set up is completely unacceptable. I will not go pay somebody to do what should’ve been simple quality control in the factory. This guitar is being returned today.

Yes for the most part the guitar met expectations some work was needed on the guitar bottom strings buzzed and then pick up was too high on the bridge and the strings were hitting it lower the pickup solve the problem took off a spring and that solved the problem of buzzing tone control was a little bit loose other than that it's a great value for the price.

Very solid guitar, plays well and stays in tune even after abusing the Floyd Rose. Probably the best guitar I have ever bought. Don’t have to spend $2k on a Gibson to have fun.

The color (Jumper Red) is cool, the all access heel is a good time, and the bridge pickup is passable (like a honkier JB). Here’s where Kramer failed- the neck is super chunky, like Les Paul chunky. And they used tiny frets, like 60s Teisco frets- I don’t think these would survive a single fret level. They really should have raised the price $50 and used at least medium jumbos. And lastly, and obviously, the Floyd is trash, but everyone prob goes into this guitar expecting to replace the bridge anyway. Neck girth and frets aside a decent guitar for $350. Oh and mine was light- 7lbs 4oz

horrible do not buy from amazon, guitar not set up and not ready to play better to buy from GC.

Really nice guitar. A couple recommendations. Kramer has a guitar tech you can zoom with, I recommend you do it . I might have returned it had I not got some instructions from him. I’ve never had a guitar with a tremolo system. Lots to learn. Once I watched some YouTube videos on adjusting the tremolo , how the locking nuts work, adjusted the string height. Now it plays like a dream, but didn’t come that way out of the box. I probably shouldn’t have bought one with the tremolo system because I actually never use it. But I’m happy. One of the few left handed guitars that comes ina color other than black

With this Kramer I complete my collection of favorite brands along with Jackson, Gibson, Washburn, Ivanov Guitars...
