This Kramer guitar has been carefully inspected, set up, and documented. However, it was acquired as part of a large collection, and many guitars in that collection have been modified, repaired, assembled from multiple instruments, or fitted with replacement parts over the years.

We have made every effort to describe this guitar accurately and disclose any relevant information to the best of our knowledge. We do not intend to misrepresent the instrument in any way.

If you have any questions about this guitar or believe any information in the listing may be inaccurate, please feel free to contact us. We welcome any additional information and are happy to clarify details before purchase.

This guitar is in overall good condition. There is some finish checking throughout the body and the neck pocket has a couple of finish splits. There are small dings and dents, mostly on the sides. The back of the body has belt rash and a few deeper scratches. Some of the frets are on the flatter side. The scarf joint on the neck can be felt. The neck heel was re-drilled at some point in its life, possibly making it from a different Kramer. One corner of the case is broken and the middle hinge doesn't function, but the case closes and the latches work as expected. (See Pics)

Guitar is freshly setup and restrung with 9-42 strings. Includes Hard Shell Case.
