MGR/Michael « Kramer Focus 211S »
Published on 07/10/03 at 15:00I bought my Kramer Focus 211S 'Fatboy' from Musicyo.com, the only place you can possibly get them, lol. I paid $94.99 for the guitar, and have some killer accessories.
I like it because its inexpensive, heavy, durable, and I played my Les Paul Standard on the same amp, and for a $400 difference in price, it sure sounded close to the Les Paul. Sure, the Paul is clearer, but not much, you really have to listen to the Focus to here a slight buzz on a 10w practice amp. The strings are very smooth, like XL's, and the frets were filed very good, no rough edges on this guitar. Plays very well on the song "Sweet Child O Mine" for anyone who plays along with Guns 'N' Roses. I got the Vintage Sunburst color, AWESOME!
On the low E string, there is a very slight buzz when you use the frets, but while playing it on 0, or no fingers on frets, this string is perfect.
Construction and quality are close to $300+ priced guitars. Its pretty heavy, like I said, and doesn't have a scratch on it, and its traveled with me for about 400 miles. Very durable guitar.
My bottom line is this: With one string that buzzes 40% of the time, with a price tag of $94.99, and the durabilty of this, its gonna be hard to beat. You have to get into the $800+ guitars to beat it. Order it, and have fun! If this had a scale of 1-10, an 11.
