1986-87
Sometime in late 1985 to early 1986 switched production of the Pacer and it's other lines to ESP in Japan. All necks and bodies after the banana head era were then made there and added the "pointy-droopy" variety of headstocks. They were then assembled in the USA. The 1986 logos remained the same as the ones on the banana headed guitars but this only lasted a year when Kramer went with the new "diminishing" logo in 1987 which featured a large "K" with the subsequent letters getting smaller as they go. Maple or rosewood options were more available at this time compared to the banana heads and more models came out of this year.

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.The Pacers that utilized this new body was the Pacer Imperial, still with 2 hums but now the bridge hum was angled. The new ones were the Custom I and Custom II. 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.
