I saved her from the part out market, put her back together and cleaned her up, and added another original Kramer lefty to my collection.
Neck still shiny. Plays like butter.

Excellent cost performance is a strong friend of a left-handed guitarist!

I won't snub the ply, all good. 
Looks in great shape and clean! I've had one of those necks, felt a bit more slim and more C shaped than an ESP pointy, fast.
How does it sound? Any cool vibes or anything?

Re: NGD - 1987 Kramer ZX30
Kramers, thanks for asking.
Did not get to play it a lot yet but keep reaching for the Floyd bar.
Some dents in a few frets but completely happy with this 35 year old piece. The neck is much heavier weight-wise than my American which I keep telling myself I will finish soon.

Re: NGD - 1987 Kramer ZX30
I'm pretty sure xxx would say that the neck is heavy because it's made of rubber rather than real wood. I had to.. 
Does it feel like a strong neck, or just heavy? Inlay spacing and fretboard heel look very consistent between the two.

Re: NGD - 1987 Kramer ZX30
I own several plywood guitars.
Yeah, I know they aren't a specific tone wood, but a combination of several types of tone wood and tone glue combined under tons of pressure which gives them tone!!
