87/88 Kramer Sustainer Flip Flop Red Maple Fretboard - $2,700
QR Code Link to This Post
This guitar has a few blemishes and small dings but overall is in excellent condition. This is a rare model in the flip flop red color with a maple neck and maple fret-board. There are not a lot of vintage Kramer's with maple fret-boards. The Sustainer works perfectly in all three modes. The frets were redone by the previous owner and are now stainless steel.
I have a lot of cash into this guitar with fretwork, setup and other corrections to make this a pro-level guitar.
This was just set up by my tech recently (he also does all the work for Marc Ferrari of Keel and shred guitarist Joey Taffola), and he dialed the frets in to 1/1000. To understand how accurate this is you need to know Plek machines and standard manufacturer fret measurements are in millionths, not thousandths, and this is dialed in to perfection.
The action is likely lower than any guitar you have probably ever seen or played having been set in the 1/64 range at the 22nd fret. The guitar plays exceptionally well, sounds fantastic and is versatile. This is the same model Eddie Van Halen is holding in the ad (not the actual guitar), and they are very, very hard to find in this color with a maple fret-board.
Neck pickup is a Schaller made Floyd Rose Sustainer, and the bridge is a Seymour Duncan JBJ. I am not interested in trades and can afford to hold the guitar. Serious inquiries only. I am clearing out gear that is not currently being used tp free up capital.
