Kramer Pacer Classic Series! - An EPIC & Affordable Way To Get The Guitar That Shaped 80's Rock!

"Woah! Those notes were there yesterday! I was sure of it!" was a fairly hilarious way to cover a very minor slip up that most people wouldn't notice, and then he proceeded to play the missing notes to assure us that it was indeed not the guitar's fault. That was slick and professional work on his part. He genuinely loved the guitar and it shows. I just bought one, lol.

[@TarenLeitzke]

With a lot of new innovative guitars like the Fender Meteora getting released, Kramer should re-release the Night Rider. I love 339s and occasionally consider trying out a Floyd Rose guitar, so having a 339 Floyd Rose option on the market again would be amazing. 😃

[@yourlocalryan]

I tried this guitar at guitar center and I really like the sound.

[@danielpooleoriginal]

Just bought one today, new for just £190 😲 40% off. I couldn't believe it.

[@mksounds6326]

Was just looking at these last night. I was worried about the pickups, as I'm used to the Super 3 in my '89 HM Strat, and wondered if I could get some nasty 80's bite out of them. Like you said, a good mod platform. Still on the fence but the price is pretty good for a cheap "shred" guitar. Thanks for the video! All the best from the Bay Area, MK

[@korchevatel]

Damn, that red Pacer is slick, sexy AND affordable! This model might be perfect as your first Floyd equipped guitar, IMHO!

[@spaceavenger54]

@@feraligatr4206 no,it's a floyd special Wich is softer metal than a real Floyd,and it wears out a lot quicker. I had one ,the posts or knife edges wear rather fast and I had to end up blocking it just to keep it coming back in tune.then a saddle stripped on me in the middle of a gig,allowing the string to keep go going out of tune. The pacer vintage has a Floyd 1000 on it which is much better quality. By the way just to be clear my floyd Rose special was on a schecter Omen extreme which was an awesome guitar Edit: just to be fair I didn't mention it my original comment but it did stay in tune well for a few weeks but I do abused my whammy bar so I will say that and after a couple weeks the knife-edge just wore out and it no longerkept coming back into tune by itself.

[@bunsenn5064]

I don’t know how, but I got mine to sound like Ed’s Kramer 5150 right out of the box. It’s a dream to play, and once I’m through with it it’ll be even better. My only complaint is a small manufacturing oversight, one of the screw holes in the body where the neck is supposed to insert doesn’t line up quite right.

[@Malikthedestroyer]

[@FantasyFilms100]

[@johnnyappleseed2277]

Do you think it is the best guitar to sit on the coach and play with yourself on . Because I like to play play with myself while on coach. Sometimes when I'm on a chair I am always finding myself hitting the headstock against the wall when I sit down. I like the scale lines that reminds me of a fender guitar. Which I have someone sort of thick and big stubby hands. And every time I play defender I've always had plenty of space to mash my fingers down in.

[@Strato13]

I just bought the exact same one you have, the Purple Passion Metallic, only in a lefty version. My goodness, it is so very comparable to my lefty EVH Striped Series guitar made by Fender for literally a quarter of the price. I'm getting the Red one too. I cannot believe how good the neck feels on this thing. Like my EVH guitar, they seemed to follow Eddy's preferences for a straight up satin, no finish fretboard neck. I can't emphasize as to just how awesome this guitar is for the price.

[@bluwng]

Do you find the volume knob gets in the way when playing?

[@Strato13]

@bluwng Not really, but I sort of retract some of the things I said in this comment, as it was out of excitement. The guitar is decent but doesn't stay in tune. The pickups are not the best, and the bridge sucks because it just can't stay in tune. Those fine tuners on the bridge wear out, and soon you find yourself having to keep tuning the guitar and resetting those fine tuners. Can't compare with my EVH at all, except as in a platform to spend more money on to upgrade.

[@bluwng]

@@Strato13 Cort came out with a model that is a Kramer Pacer/ Ibanez hybrid.

[@Tacticool_BJ]

Been waiting for this review

[@traceyrychewhite1874]

You seem to know a lot about Kramer guitar's. I bought a new one around 86-87. It was a Focus 3000, although I don't remember seeing the Focus 3000 written on the front of it. It was a dark metalic pink, and it wasn't cheap. I'm trying to find out the year and the name of the color. I picked it out at a music shop way back then. If I could be so fortunate to find one, I would be so happy. I've searched the internet and can only find an ugly powder pink, which is not what I want. Oddly enough, I bought a 68 Lemans convertible and I did a lot of the work on it. But it was just about the same color as my guitar was. If you know of any, please let me know. Thank you

[@MR.KERNAN]

[@TheDefJamm]

This guitar truly is the best of both worlds. It is a shredding machine but can also act like a Strat. Yes, you could buy the likes of an Ibanez RG if you’re a shredder, but they very much feel like a guitar only for shredding as the neck is incredibly thin. The Kramer has a neck very similar to a Strat.

[@eastcoastaj5048]

Why does no one mention the Kramer Striker, my first guitar?

[@이태원-u5r]

Every Kramer guitars have this: Amazing colors. Yeah other brands guitars have similar colors but Kramer guitars goes greatly well with those candy glossy colorful finishes, including my Baretta special.

[@spaceavenger54]

So how do you compare the classic to the Kramer Pacer vintage which I bought these doing yours and a lot of other reviews and I've had nothing but problems with it from the electronics the wiring the fretwork etc. You didn't mention that the Floyd on use classics is a Floyd special which isn't going to last anywhere as long as the 41,000 on the vintage model. And lastly, I got to sit at that vintage is 1 heavy beast. I don't remember my original Beretta being that have you so maybe I got one of the later ones that was made out of order but it actually hurts my back if I play the vintage for any length of time know I do have a bad back that's been fused together but it's still weighs a ton more than my charvel and Jackson's do.

I just picked up one of these, and the tuning stability is atrocious, especially for being equipped with a Floyd Rose. Disappointing to say the least. However, it does sound good. The pickups are great for being stock at this price range. The neck is also prett comfortable to play, despite the face that it's pretty chunky. The paint job is great---no knicks or blemishes. The tuning stability is all that leaves room to be desired.

[@Polentaccio]

You could upgrade it with a real Floyd id I agine though no? But then at that point you are pushing closer to charvel pro mod or san Dimas prices and might as well just go that route.
