“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 😁

“Great range of beginners acoustic guitars and settled for the Fazley W80-SGANT Slim Grand Auditorium Starter Pack.
My grandson is really pleased and can't play it enough!
Nice quality and prompt delivery”
“An excellent case for the money, perfect fit for my Tele or strat. High quality latches and looks great. Feels and looks like a much more expensive case and I have several other brands to compare it to”
“I recently purchased an Ibanez af75 . Really happy with the look of the guitar and it plays great. Ordered and delivered on time within five days. After this experience I would highly recommend Bax music, and will definitely be using them again in future.
Thankyou.”
“A service second to none.I received the gig bag exactly when I was told I’d receive it and it was all fine which was a relief as needed it for gig that evening.”
“Took a chance and just bought a Seagull S6 Original Slim Acoustic Guitar + range of accessories. Watched the website for a few days to get a delivery day/time-frame when I would be home. Arrived spot on the two-day estimate. Really well packaged, box contained everything as ordered. Great guitar, well set up, very pleased with purchase. Absolutely nothing to fault here. Very happy customer.”
“Box arrived with no damage and all goods were packed very well.
Only reason I am not give 5 stars is that their courier tracking via Parcel Force gave me no information until the driver knocked my door!!”
“I wanted a Studiologic SL73 and, as always, the price at Bax Music was most competitive.
Fast delivery, tracking and terrific packaging.
I've bought from them before and I'll be coming back again, no doubt.”
“I was looking for a hard case for my Joe Brown signature Ukulele and saw the Fazley offered by Bax Music at a low price. The delivery cost was worthwhile as it arrived quickly and was extremely well packaged. The Fazley case far exceeded my expectations for the cost, it looks good and my concert Ukulele fits perfectly inside”
“Asking for a review of a product that i still don't have despite being in stock and ordered over a week ago. No despatch email or tracking reference until i chased up via phone. Said Id have the product on a few days - still nothing and not even despatched yet according to the now provided ups reference.”
“Prices are good, products are good, packaging is good and even time for goofs to be handed to courier was good. However I did place my order on Friday and selected Tuesday for delivery. Delivery was actually the following Friday and even though I had a tracking number, every time I checked there was no status advice whatsoever. Maybe there are hold ups from Europe? So I'd say everything is fine if a week is ok for you to wait. It was this time, but if I needed something in a hurry I'd choose a UK supplier.”
