    Very nice. Those Focus models are killer guitars. The body was also made by ESP. I had a beak neck Focus 2000 that I wish I still had. Loaded it with dual Super Distortions (the neck wired in parallel). Nice beefy neck too.
    I believe this is an ‘86. It’s got the transition banana into pointy headstock. Unless I’m mistaken this neck was made in the ESP factory too.

      Yup, both body and neck were at that time. '86 or thereabouts sounds about right. Mine was an '83-'84. Same body shape but different neck.

        Just got the call from the shop. The Kramer is done and ready for pickup.
        He said he thought it was sounding pretty damn good. Obviously he was jamming out on it!!

        I’ll be able to pick it up tomorrow afternoon. Can’t wait!!!

          Ok!! Picked it up. Looks KILLER!!
          Here’s a quick noodling video recorded with my phone. Don’t expect pro audio!! Lol
          I flip back and forth between the bridge and neck pickup a couple of times. I’m sure you be able to hear the difference.

                Yeah, I’m really happy with it.

                As far as the pickups go, if I had to compare them to a set of Duncan’s...

                Bridge is slightly scooped so maybe a Custom 5?

                And I’d go with an Anico pro2 or Slash neck?

                There are lots more people here with more Duncan experience so maybe they could assess the comparison better than I can?

                  Those sound great
                  But I suspect it's hard to find anything that sounds bad through that Splawn

                    It’s a great amp.
