Welcome to the Kramer Forum

I actually bought this Gary Kramer Crusader Deluxe four months ago on reverb.com. I thought it looked good from the pics and the specs weren't too shabby either... two splittable humbuckers, Floyd Rose guitar with a maple neck with a R2 nut supposedly, according to the website that the seller linked to. I was prepared for the Floyd Rose to be Korean. Little did I know that the Floyd would be such a turn off as the string lock insert blocks were all stuck and didn't move freely, same with the string lock screws that were a pain in the butt to turn. The nut turned out to be a R3... the neck had a 'wide thin' kinda profile whereas I like a 'narrow fat' profile like the Kramer beaks with R2 nuts. I've contemplated selling this guitar a couple of times but I've decided to stick with it as it has a very resonant ring and good sustain to the guitar which indicates that the wood is of a good quality, whatever it may be, alder I guess. So I'm soon gonna get to work on replacing the pickups and doing an overhaul of the Floyd with stainless screws and titanium string lock insert blocks that I bought on black Friday. I took some pictures just now of this guitar in its original condition, as it won't look this way when I'm done with the tweaks. Don't mind me sharing some that I took here, and as always - rock on bros!

That's a badass looking girl
I don't believe I have ever played a pickguarded two hummer before. I hope you get it all sorted out, because if you get it playing as great as it looks, she will be a definite keeper

Has a Charvel So-Cal look.

But let's face it, someone buys a Kramer b/c it has a Floyd.

I've had two of these and the necks were difficult to setup. If I hadn't used an e flat tuning I don't think I could have gotten the necks straight and I was using 9's. The pups aren't name-brand either. Nice guitars overall but not quite as good as a So Cal.
