Kramer Solid Body Electric Guitars

I've played guitar for close to 15 years. I got this Kramer 'Standard' from www.musicyo.com. I payed $169 (on sale). What do I like most. Could you please ask a harder question? (some sarcasm for you). Wow, I guess the thing I like the most about this is that the price they are selling this is so INSANELY CHEAP for the top-shelf quality. I cannot believe I even thought about getting a Gibson or an Epiphone. This Kramer is IT for my Les Paul fix. Every detail is emaculate. The finish is gorgeous, pics on the net do NOT do justice. The parts are great. The pickups are amazing. The body design is a little different from a Gibson/Epiphone in that the cutaway tip is sharper rather than rounded (which I like a lot). It's a little closer to the ESP 'LP' bodied guitars. The back has what musicyo is calling "Kramer Designed Body Scarfing" which is like the back of a Strat style guitar. It's more comfortable and hangs better on the body. The ONLY thing I didn't like was the stock strings it came with. The gauge is too thin for my taste. I'm hoping the nut (graphite by the way, awesome) is cut big enough for a heavier gauge. I like to use 10s and I think this one comes with 9s maybe. Outstanding, Awesome, Stupendous, Heavenly...I could go on. You couldn't ask for better finish. The neck is beautiful. The frets are polished to perfection. The inlays are gorgeous. Buy this, buy this, buy this!!! Don't you dare think about spending $500 or more on an Epiphone, or more for a Gibson until you check this out first. You will save tons. Even with regular price the thing is less than $250 which I would gladly pay. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I bought mine on ebay, but you can get them for around $80 on musicyo.com. The quadrod was around 60 I think With the quadrod I bought it, the pickups sound great with a touch of overdrive. Clean they have a warm sound, but quite an edgy one if that makes sense. Looks great, even with all the scratches. It's obviously a matter of taste, but I find the neck very easy to play on. Well, if it had cost me $1000 i could name a number of things. But at less than $150 for the lot it's hard to criticise. I suppose I have to though. It does detune quite quickly, and the sustain isn't great. Without the quadrod the pickups are useless, although I only had to put up with that for a day or two. The frets on mine have got quite uneven, making for some buzz. Not a huge amount though. Very good. I've dropped it a few times, and hit the wall more than a few. It's a miracle that it's still in one piece, really. It's nice and simple wiring, no awkward routing, so very easy to work on (and fit a quadrod). The finish is good, except from where an unusually violent piece of metal attacked it once... With a low budget guitar, I don't think you'll get much better than this. I wouldn't replace it with anything short of a $600 axe, anyway. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I saw a small ad in the Guitar magazine some weeks ago and this guitar cought my eye, the thing that really cought my eye was the outstanding price. at the time these guitars were selling for only 69.99!!! This is an outstanding price for such a guitar. A few weeks later I decided to purchase the guitar and I recieved it even sooner than I expected. there is every thing to like about this guitar, its cheap, good ...great quality, good sound, looks sharp, and overall is just a good guitar. 5 way toggle switch for the pickups, two tone one volume, and the list goes on. there is not much i dont like actually i cant think of anything i dont like the construction is good and like I said earlier the quality is perfect. I really like this guitar. I would just like to congradulate kramer and other people who made this instrument it is hard to believe that a guitar could have such quality with so small of price. How does Kramer profit from this. if you come accross a guitar like this. Jump on the opportunity and buy it.
