For sale is a Gary Kramer Crusader Deluxe guitar. This is the same Gary Kramer that brought you the famous Kramer guitars back in the 80's and 90's. This is not to be confused with the current crop of Kramer guitars currently being produced by Gibson.
The guitar is equipped with two humbuckers, a coil tap, volume and tone with an original Floyd Rose tremolo. The original Gary Kramer bridge pickup has been replaced with a Seymour Duncan SH-11 humbucker. The coil tap is still connected to this pickup and works fine. The original pickup was OK, but the Duncan screams.
From what I can gather these were produced overseas for Gary Kramer and sold as a stock guitar in 2008 and 2009. This guitar was purchased by me directly from Gary Kramer and has maybe 10 - 15 hours of playing time on it. They are no longer being produced.

CRUSADER line of instruments presents our respect for the most popular, double cutaway, body shape. These traditional vibe instruments are offered in two different layouts.
DELUXE model is a flash back of the early ‘80s rock machines. This model features glossy finishes and non recessed Floyd Rose Original double locking tremolos. Deluxe all maple necks have strong mid range characteristics with a bit pronounced high end. Combination of light weight Alder bodies, all maple necks, Original Floyd Rose and well balanced alnico humbuckers make Deluxe perfect choice for any type of rock music.
Also included is a flight-style case that I purchased from Musician's Friend. It's adequate but by no means is it ATA grade. It does it's job OK, solid with the flight-style latches.
$550.00 plus actual shipping and Paypal fees of 3%, if that is the payment method used.
