Re: Kramer guitars... Love em.....

That's the Striker a buddy of mine has but in the cherry burst finish. Cool guitar. We put a Custom in the bridge, Pearly Gates in the neck and a APS-2 in the middle. New pots and switch, push/pull on the tone. I had to really work with the springs and adjustment of the Floyd to make it usable. The wood is solid, comfortable neck. Not bad work there. The shortcuts were all done in the electronics and hardware.

I bet your friend's guitar sounds fantastic! Yep - they are great, solid modding platforms. I had both of mine routed for "real" floyds, but life tip 101: a Schaller Floyd will drop in with no mods.

What has happened with the Kramer pricing on "reverb"?

I'm also wondering about all the "kramer scrappers" I saw a few years ago swapping necks and bodies around to put together the highest profit "package"?

I didn't keep up on that and wonder if it has has an effect on general quality of the instrument or whether it doesn't really matter?

“Uplander” has become the biggest parter of complete Kramer guitars these days and his prices aren’t quite “Alien Nation” insane but they are pretty exorbitant on bodies and necks.

Prices on Kramers other than Nightswan and Liberty models aren’t horrible if you are patient and look around. Still plenty of overpriced ones to be found of course.
