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. At some point in its life a second cavity for the middle pickup was routed. There are two holes between the pickups. Parts of the finish have aged into a lighter blue color. There are a few finish splits on the back of the body and some extend into the neck pocket. There are some dings on the back near the body carve. The fretboard has some finish chips. (See Pics)

Guitar is freshly setup and restrung with 9-42 strings. Includes Gigbag.
