When this guitar was brought to me it had several
problems. The first problem being that the electronics weren't working. I found that the five way switch was faulty so I replaced it. That got the guitar working but the input jack was so loose I had to hold the plug in it which really doesn't work when you're trying to play. I replaced the jack and all the electronics worked fine. The pots were a little scratchy so I cleaned them with electronic parts cleaner and lubricant I got from Radio Shack.

The Kramer has a Floyd Ross locking tremolo system with fine tuning adjusters on the bridge. The nut locks were missing so I had to order replacements. The bridge has a tremolo arm that works in tandem with tension springs underneath the body. These tension springs had no tension left in them so I had to replace them as well.

When I got done fixing the guitar I polished and buffed it and did a set up on it. My set ups always include cleaning and buffing the guitar, a new set of strings and intonation. The Kramer is a tough one to intonate because you have to manually adjust each string by loosening the saddle screw
(click for photo) and moving the saddle on each individual string. This means you have to loosen the string to take the tension off then restring and retune each time you make a correction. This takes about three to ten times longer then most electric guitar intonations.

It turned out to be a nice playing guitar once it was made playable pics.
