Up for sale is a very rare USA made Kramer Pacer II from the mid 90's that was made in the Neptune NJ Kramer factory. Specs from the Vintage Kramer site state this has a solid Maple body, Duncan JN (Jazz) for a neck pickup and a Duncan JB in the bridge, Sperzel Locking tuners, USA Neptune NJ back plate. This guitar has been in storage for over a decade and it was stamped "Used" on the back of the headstock. Has a few small minot ding in the back of the neck but in very nice shape. There is no case and no trem arm with this guitar.
Very clean guitar has a few scratches, the nickel pickup covers have some light tarnishing but should clean up. This guitar has a Wilkinson USA tremolo and plays amazingly great! Sounds awesome as well and the neck profile is super comfortable.

This Mach II Pacer era was short lived however as production was slower than expected. Gibson soon stepped in and bought the Kramer name and the Kramer investors made a profit. The new designs stayed with Vaccaro and the aluminum neck guitars were made up until around 2000. These "new" Pacers are easily distinguished from the old ones by the Wilkinson trem, of course, and the Kramer logo which seems to take on a more "slanted" version than the originals had. The spurt of these new Pacers was short-lived and are rare as not many of them hit the streets.Original 1995 Kramer USA āPacerā

In the spring of 1995, some of the original Kramer visionaries formed Kramer Music Industries (KMI) with hopes of reviving the legendary Kramer name. Using classic Kramer guitar designs, they produced a small number of guitars in the original Kramer factory in Neptune, New Jersey. In January 1996, these guitars were introduced at the annual Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California to enthusiastic Kramer dealers and fans.
Unfortunately, these Kramer USA guitars never made it into the music stores and into the hands of the general public. Later that year, Gibson Musical Instruments purchased Kramer along with all its assets. As a result, these rare, āone-of-a-kindā instruments ā the LAST ever produced in the original Kramer factory - were locked away in the Kramer vault at Gibson for over 5 years.
