Very cool and rare all black Kramer Pacer Carrera, in pretty good all round condition with a Kramer case. Appears to be all original with schaller pickups and tuners and an early Made in Germany Floyd Rose locking trem.
The neck is pretty chunky ( especially compared to todays shred machines) if this is a concern I would be happy to measure exactly . . No dot markers on the fretboard but does have side dots.
I understand (from another older listing, now sold) that the bodies were originally routed for Rockinger bridge and later rerouted after the finish for the Floyd Rose bridge. there is bare wood in the trem route ( see pics) so i assume that is the case in this guitar also.
There's a ding on the headstock where has been chipped and plenty of finish scratches and signs of playing - many of which could probably be polished out.
There is some 'orange peel" in the paint on the neck which leads me to think that this may have been one of the guitars that had bad glue at the neck scarf and was repaired? ( see narrative at Vintage Kramer site). Either way, the neck appears totally solid and i can see no giveaway joint lines at the scarf joint.
Guitar seems very similar to the one in the link below although mine is showing a little more wear and does not have the Carrera logo but i made inquiries with some people that used t work at Kramer and they confirmed it is a Carrera model but there was a lack of consistency..

Please inspect all photos carefully and let me have any questions or ask for more detail shots if required before committing to purchase. This is a great guitar but it's sold as-is with no returns unless it arrives in a condition that has not been described.
