Hey guys.
As some of you may know as I'd mentioned it on here before a few times I've been trying to move my 2005 Gibson Faded V on for a while now with no luck, either selling or trades. There's only so many times I can be offered an Epiphone Les Paul with 'upgrades' in trade before it does my head in! :D
Anyways, a local shop took in the guitar below as a commission sale for someone and I thought I'd try my luck at offering my V (minus it's BKPs) in a straight swap for it, and the owner went for it. I've not seen many around to know if the price is the same on both my V and this, but we were both happy with the trade and I'd sooner have a guitar I play than 1 I don't that just sits there in it's case.
So here it is:
(the headstock Says Kramer American Series, and the Truss Rod cover says Pacer Custom II)
I believe it to be a 1986 Kramer Pacer Custom II. Looking on the Vintage Kramer site the year seems to tie in with the style of headstock and logo from around then as do the pickups, which I think are Seymour Duncan JB/APS-1/APS-1, as they're certainly not the Schaller pickups the earlier Pacer Custom IIs came with.
To be honest it's the 1st guitar I've used where I've not pretty much instantly hated the JB, I always have in other guitars I've had them in. Play wise it's setup in Eb but I need to put some 11s on it and re-set it up as it plays a bit too lightly for my tastes.
I'd appreciate it if any Kramer experts could chime in as I've not been able to find that much info out about these, and I'm always curious as to what I have :D
