I just won this guitar

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300110531428&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=020

and I have no idea what it is. The seller claims the truss rod cover says Pacer Custom II but the body doesn't match that. I think this is a mutt, with a unknown neck and import body.

Go to www.vintagekramer.com and do some searching. I see a comment in the Pacer section: "In 1987, except for the Pacer Deluxe, the bodies were changed from the round-ish strat style to the Jackson-influenced "sharp-radiused" body which featured more cornered shaped edges, longer horns and thicker shoulders" and then "The Custom I was actually just called the Custom early on. It had the HSS configuration with the slanted hum, 1 vol, 3 on-off switches and a coil tap for the hum.The Custom II was basically the same guitar but the hum was straight, not angled and it sported 1 vol, 2 tones, 5 way select and coil tap."

So yours would be a Custom I.

Scroll down to the Baretta/Pacer body section in the link below and look at the blue 1988-89 body, seems to match the shape, lower horn contour, recessed trem as yours.

Yeah i looked at that website carefully before I bidded. The buyer claims its a Pacer II not I and either the control layout is wrong or a hole was added. The upper cutaway is slightly off from the baretta. Either way I still think I got a great deal.

It's obviously a mutt. The Ibanez trem and the lack of a neck plate all point to that.

The body could be a pacer, but it is hard to tell without a clear view of the input jack. The Neck looks to be Import from the focus series.

Looks just like this one

The seller told me there was an oval input which points to a import. There looks to be an extra hole under the volume. Did focus' come in flip flop pink?

The buyer claims its a Pacer II not I and either the control layout is wrong or a hole was added.

According to vintagekramer, the II has a straight hum and a 5-way, so don't know how the seller could be claiming a II vs a I.

^ Well I the neck and body probably aren't from the same guitar.

I have seen focus series kramers with Flip Flop colors. I almost bought an F1000 in flip flop champagne.
