  • ANOTHER Kramer bought today---USA Pacer

    And I know nothing about them, other than the fact that they were made in Neptune NJ which is right where I grew up.

    In the window for $400, guy gave it to me for $250. Said it was sitting there for a month and he was shocked that nobody grabbed it. I am in there all the time so he quoted me his "last day of the years" special. Totally original, as far as he knows- guy came in with it wanting to learn jazz- it was in his parent's basement. Body was great, but everything metal had corroded. Traded it for something more suited to his style.

    Guy that owns the music store is a luthier and cleaned it up. Looks beautiful. OFR. Unsure what the pup is and haven't tried her yet (will update). Coil tap. In wonderful shape, like it was barely ever played.

    Can anyone tell me about these? It's a USA, or at least that's what the neck plate is, and the story makes it unlikely that it was messed with (the guy that owns the shop is a straight shooter in all other areas I've dealt with him in).

    I think that's a Pacer Special. Nice score.

      That's good to hear coming from the guitar-buying master! Been a decent year for me I guess guitar wise.

      Playing with it now- holy crap this is one articulate pickup, whatever it is.

            The pup is a Schaller. I think. He beat me. I have 2 Hockey Head Specials. Is the body real heavy?

              Actually it's extremely light. Lightest guitar I own outside of an accoustic.

                Both of mine are maple bods and they weigh a ton each. I am liking your's much better.

                    My tricked out Special has an EMG 89. I may have to dig those Kramers up.

                        Love it in white- Very nice.

                        Not even sure how much these are worth- I can tell you after playing it it's worth more than $250. Really nice playing sweet sounding axe.

                          There is no "What it is worth ?" when dealing with a guitar that is this semi-old. Both of my Pacers were $150 each. It is amazing what you can find. All I know is I can get great guitars for 10% or 20% of what those buttheads with their new guitars are charging.

                              Lol I am curious on the price check but like everything I buy it ain't ever getting sold...I just buy. I really should learn to do otherwise but once I get my hands on it and bond it's game over.
