For an unapologetic, hair metal friendly, 80's shred guitar... on a budget... I don't think you can do better than this! Perfect for playing all your classic Dokken, Van Halen, and RATT riffs!
This is "available" in several colors! The color I'm showing here is "Candy Blue".

Here’s how I feel about Kramer guitars. Over twenty years ago I bought a Kramer FOCUS 111S for $69. I have several expensive guitars, but the Kramer if the one I play the most. I love it so much that after being ribbed by some friends for always playing it, I wrote a poem about it. Here goes: “Some girls and boys buy expensive toys, shelling out all that legal tender. They think it’s good luck if they spend the big buck, for a Gibson, a Gretsch or a Fender. And some guitar players try to put her down, they laugh and they defame her. But in all of my years I have known too few joys, like my Sweeeeeeet sixty nine dollar Kramer!” Shalom, gw.

I mostly switched to bass, traded in a lot of my guitars for bass gear. I missed having a good cheap shred guitar to knock around with. My local store was selling one of these in their shop used, for $130. All set up with new strings, perfect intonation. I couldn't put it down when I got home. Best $130 I've ever spent!!

Bought a Kramer Pacer in late 83’ with my high school graduation $. The Kramer Pacer was the first production guitar to come with a Floyd Rose locking system. Paid around $750. Transparent green. Polished maple neck. It was a awesome guitar! The Shaller humbuckers that came on the guitar had really good tonality. I played the hell out of that guitar living my rock & roll dreams for a decade. I fell off the singers shoulders when he tripped on a mic cables while I was playing the Kramer Pacer. I was o.k. But the Kramer Pacer didn’t survive. Never had another Kramer until just recently. I bought a Purple Kramer Baretta Special from Musicians Friend after seeing you unbox your Baretta Special. Thanks for the review!

I worked at a store that was an Epiphone dealer, and Kramer is treated as part of the Epiphone line on the dealer side. And you're correct about their build and wait times. They try to corner dealers into scheduling guitars an entire year in advance, which is what we had to do in order to get opened up with them, it's crazy.

@Wise Guy indeed. I believe this may have been a similar case as with Fender buying Jackson under similar circumstances (early 2000s, both companies being bankrupt). Despite being the big names in the guitar industry, neither Gibson nor Fender could really compete against these Superstrat brands back in their heyday, all their attempts at building something similar were poorly received. As the market for this type of guitars decreased due to the loss in popularity of 80s hair metal, some of these brands couldn't keep up with the times and failed, giving a good opportunity to both Gibson and Fender to control and be competitive in this specific market while having the main brand focusing on their signature instruments. Notice IMO Jackson isn't doing that much better these days, while I'm a big fan of the pre-Fender guitars, up until very recently they lacked any sort of innovation and were light years behind what Ibanez is doing. Even nowadays, they put a lot of focus in their budget JS line (that may not look like it but definitely feels budget) and then the intermediate quality Indonesian models still don't even come close to the old Japanese-made ones in terms of quality.

I commented a couple months ago about ordering one and having to wait. The Sweetwater dude I talked to told me that they were literally making them to send out the door for orders. Well, I finally got one for 188 total after tax and free shipping.. This is better than any 200 dollar guitar you can find for the craftsmanship. No sharp fret edges, it feels like a more expensive guitar when you hold and play it unlike an Ibanez Gio for about 20 dollars more, it was set up perfectly out of the box with perfect action and what the hell?? It stays in tune??!! Perfectly in fact. I love it. It's in my top 5 out of my 15 guitars.. And I don't own all cheap guitars 😁 but this thing I sit next to my 700 dollar Jackson and all I am considering is a pickup swap. It's that nice. I'm nothing but impressed with this guitar and I don't have to feel worried about taking it places because of its price. It truly feels as if it belongs in the 300 to 400 range. Just need a pickup swap.

@@Davivd2 For me since i am mainly a guitar player that plays extreme metal music, I only use the bridge pickup and the tone knob is on full every time, Now, i definitely use the neck pickup for leads and cleans and once in a while i roll of the tone knob for different tones, but for the most part the bridge pickup i use 100 percent of the time. As far as advantages for a 1 pu/ 1 volume, I'd say less noise, less work when switching pickups, magnet pull on the strings from the neck pickup might have an effect on sustain? But then again this is just preference and my opinion. But yes, the lack of tone options without other pickups to switch to would be a hindrance, totally agree...

If you mainly use the bridge pickup go for that, but if your specific genre of music that you play needs a wide variety of tones then the JS-11 will do since it can offer more.

Yep - first thing that popped into my mind for an 80's shred guitar was Kramer. I still have my Kramer Explorer from the mid-80's. :)

This is my guitar! stuck a super distortion in it and did my own bridge and tremolo work! Replaced the nut and gonna get locking tuners soon its so amazing, eventually i want a Vega trem but the kramer trem when u set it up properly is just as good as a strats. Best budget guitars on the market

Hey max, I'm in the uk I managed to get a purple one about 3 months ago, I already had the candy blue one but saw an online store had a purple one in stock so I bought it and arrived in about 3 days with the packaging all in German, so I've now sold my blue one for the same price I paid for it and my purple one has a slash seymour duncan I got from a buddy so I'm all set to get rocking my only dislike of the guitar is the use of the trem doesnt stay in tune for long so I've just removed the bar and left it off, love your channel dude 🤘👍

Put Grover 406C6’s or any other locking tuner on them. Either that or the strings are still stretching, as what happened when I picked up my Ibanez Mikro. Switching to locking tuners definitely improved tuning stability. Another thing to look at is lubing the nut slots and saddles with graphite to prevent the strings binding and causing erratic tuning issues. Other than that, get a professional setup. I’ve seen too many people literally throw away good gear that only needed a good setup to play great.

@@taimaishu-nao1922 tuning pegs are one of the least likely parts of a guitar to give problems. It's a either a problem of the nut, saddles or both. Either way, rather than changing pegs, I'd recommend changing the bridge for one of the cheaper Wilkinson models. Drop in replacement and way, way better than any OEM 6 screw trem you might find.

Had an old "No Bozos" Kramer Baretta I got for my graduation. I liked it. Considered an Ibanez... until an ESP landed in my life. Then it was a dose of STFU. I've still got it...also have an Indonesian Jackson that's OK. I wouldn't consider going back to a Kramer unless it's top shelf...and not even then. I have an aversion to buying new guitars anyway. You'll find me over by the used racks.

I did not need another, but for the money, had to get that one! BIG 80's value! Even the pickup sounds great. Locking tuners or nut lube would be a plus. I still have my 1985 Kramer Deluxe banana headstock in trans red custom ordered and took 8 months to get during the Kramer heyday! Thanks again for a great reviw!
