Yo fellow rockers! I've been wanting a Kramer guitar forever! Finally got my chance to pick up a left handed Kramer striker from bax music. The guitar was extremely well packaged. a box in a box with a fabric cover. Looks awesome and exactly what I wanted. I read a lot of reviews online and through YouTube about the striker series having some QC issues and Unfortunately it seems my guitar didn't escape this problem. The action was set super high, turns out this is because some of the high 20 frets are dead. The 2 single coil pickups were wobbly and are tightened up properly so I'm not quite sure the issue here. the Top string is nearly off the fret-board at high frets, this is because the saddles have gaps where there shouldn't be gaps. Further investigation shows the screw holes have been badly done. Tuners were loose creating some buzz too. On the plus side, its a awesome looking guitar. I have remedied most of the issues by adjusting the truss rod in the neck. I'm guessing it was in storage for a long time and its warped the neck a little. The locking nut seems to have been fitted a bit high too so I may have to sand it down (though this would void any warranty - 3 years with bax) As this guitar has been discontinued in lefty form at least I've decided to keep it despite the issues. If you can set up guitars yourself, then its not too bad otherwise you need to put a fair amount of money aside for a luthier to set it up properly. The pickups are pretty good, floyd rose special seems ok so far and holds tuning pretty well. once ive got the relief in the neck correct i think it will play pretty nice and will likely fix the fret issues. Im debating getting these looked at by warranty though as they should be covered. If you can put up with the dodge QC then the guitars are awesome and pretty cheap. Probably shouldn't have the issues they have especially as Gibson own Kramer but I'm still relatively happy with my purchase. It's also worth pointing out that Bax themselves are nothing to do with the QC issues that are well documented online. Gibson should really address the issues! Happy to take Gibson LP as a apology 😁 Long live the 80's rock machines! if you want to see my unboxing and mild review then you can check it out at my YouTube channel https://youtu.be/iwjGug8onu4?si=OeiBWV7JTxh1TncP (drop me a like and Subscribe haha) and comment if you went there from my review
