Kramer Classic ii 1986 - Black

1986 Kramer Classic ii

Black hss super telecaster style guitar Double bound with rosewood fretboard Esp licensed Floyd rose tremelo

Dimarzio rail pickup, single coil, and Bill Lawrence humbucker

This super rare Kramer Classic ii was made at a time when Fender had just been sold and no longer had a factory to make guitars in the USA. Kramer saw an opportunity and made Telecaster copies. This Kramer Classic ii is one of those made in America Kramers that was aiming to take some of Fenders business. The best way to describe the Classic ii is as a super tele. It has an HSS configuration(humbucker single single), it's double bound, and has a ESP liscenced Floyd rose tremelo. I don't know which parts are original. I think the trem, neck pickup, bridge humbucker and tuners are replacements. The neck pickup is a Dimarzio hotrail mini humbucker. I'm not sure of the brand for the middle pickup. It might also be a Dimarzio. The bridge humbucker is by Bill Lawerance and says Lawerance on the top left corner. The tuners are made in West Germany Shaller Tuners which are what should have come with the guitar from the factory but the strew hole don't line up with the tuners. The guitar has lots of character and by character I mean scratches, dings, and dents all over the body. The neck has no ware. There is one volume knob and a switches that turn the pickups on and off. It's a very versatile guitar.
