Re: New Kramers...

I have a few Kramers.. Very good guitars for the price.. I have a Baretta FR404S/D from back when they put the skull and crossbone tuners on them that I dropped an SD and a Paf Pro in to.. So I have $350 into it and have no complaints at all, I also have a Striker FR424S/M that I absolutely love!! It's my #2 right behind my Jem [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

The bottom line is, the Pacer and Focus lines aren't anything special but the Striker and Baretta lines are excellent values!!

Re: New Kramers...

Well, I have a Striker 422SM in metallic blue and a nuclear yellow Baretta (awesome 80's color) that I haven't touched much since getting my DK2, but after reading this thread I broke out the Baretta yesterday and played around for a few hours.

The build quality on the DK2 is a lot better, and the wiring and paint on the Baretta is a little sloppier, but it's a nice playing guitar. I prefer the Dk2's neck, but the Baretta isn't bad at all, especially when you consider that I bought it for $220 new.

The quadrails actually aren't that bad, although the neck one only works half the time. But once I put EMGs in it, that won't even be an issue. And I think I prefer the Kramer Floyd to the JT580LP.

Re: New Kramers...

For the price of many NEW Kramers you can buy a used Kramer from "SOME" era that is probably money better spent.

Re: New Kramers...

An old Baretta cost more than a charvel model 4. They go for about $400. I haven't played one, but i think i'd rather go for the Charvel \m/. I wouldn't get an old striker or focus... well maybe a striker.

Re: New Kramers...

Dude, a Striker is made of plywood. A Focus is solid wood at least, and is basically a cheaper Baretta. I'd pick a Focus over a Striker myself.

Re: New Kramers...

You sure? I thought the focus was the cheapest of the line. Well, i'd still get a baretta if i was going to get one. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
