Very nice job. Looks brand new. One thing, though. You should let off some tension on the trem springs. When in tune a double-locking tremolo's base plate should be parallel with the guitar body. Yours is dipping into the tremolo cavity a bit. It can take a few adjustments to get right, but it's not too bad.
I don't know how it was in Japan, but over in the Netherlands Kramer guitars were very expensive. I don't know what got into the minds of the kids who decided to wreck it. But you did a great job restoring it!
That's true also here in Scandinavia. But one also have to have in mind that Kramer (among many other expensive brands) also had some non US made budget guitar models, which after some years probably got very cheap to get. Hence later on got treatments like this one. I noticed on the sticker (at the part of the neck that goes into the neck pocket) it among other information said "Striker", which IIRC was a budget non US Kramer model back then.
Even if this guitar was broken, covered in grime & tossed in the bin, it would still not be considered junk to those who really know these guitars. It might not say “Gibson” or “Fender” on it but Kramers are some of the finest guitars ever made IMO. Sleek looks and extremely comfortable playability make these guitars fun to play if you’re a real player who likes to explore the neck and really let your fingers loose. Albeit the creator of this content is clearly not a guitarist by nature.
This was really interesting. First off, what the hell Kramer is that!?!?! It almost looks like a prototype or something? Never seen one anything like this and it's all legit based off of the serial numbers on the back of the neck brace. Wild stuff. Secondly, Floyd Rose setup is a pain in the ass, period, especially if you've never done one before. The back and forth between the spring tension and string tightness is tough because the Floyd base part should be level with the body of the guitar like = , and you have to adjust the height of the base of the tremelo so you don't have any string buzz. The good thing is you only have to do those adjustments once, after that you have the worst parts out of the way because your tension will always be relatively the same assuming you are using the same strings and gauges each time, maybe a minor tweak here and there. Just remember to keep the floating tremelo exactly level with the body of the guitar. There are probably some other minor adjustments you can make since you are tearing the guitar down completely like adjusting the neck tension and fine tuning the saddles for intonation, but overall you are doing fine. I'm surprised none of those potentiometers were bad considering their age. Overall nice job. This is a cool hobby you've got going and I'm interested to see what other types of guitars you find and restore.
I skipped ahead a bunch and was like where did that flametop come from all the sudden??? Never would have thought that nice finish was still under there.
Good job in the restorations, as always. It is fun to see the guitars almost back to it's original look and condition. One observation on the play test though, it was good right until the clean sounds lol. Cheers!
I would have done a full fret job and setup on that old beast. Aside from that, I commend you for restoring the original finish and look of that guitar. I wouldn't have known how to do that!
I've never had the good fortune to buy a guitar like this. in this condition. you always seem to succeed. once you get a Jackson, then an Original Kramer, or Ibanez.. crazy. 🤦🏻♀
Nice sunburst, I think it deserved the effort to be saved and you do a great job with that. May I suggest next time you have to deal with those horrid solder blobs, just heat the solder by parts and give the piece a gentle hit on the table to get rid of it. Reserve your desoldering wick for places hard to reach or finishing the clean, in this case. Cheers.
Yes then bravo for the restoration, on the other hand we can see very well at 4:50 and 16:45 that the knives of the floyd are dead. And that can't be fixed!! There can therefore no longer be a given agreement, so at the first stroke of vibrato it's dead ...
Another superb restoration work...This Kramer had good components as opposed to the last ones : I saw a Fender 5-way switch, what looked like CTS potentiometers and some high-end capacitor... Again...Superb restoration work...
kramer owned by gibson they dont use fender parts. this is not a junk guitar and not very old, cost is about 700 dollars so mid range. i think he just painted it up to look like a shitty junk guitar because that paint came off very easily and theres not a mark on the fingerboard the frets or the body. just some obvious purposely done smacks on the headstock but carefully placed not to obliterate the name.
Yeah he did a nice clean up job but he has no clue on how to set that guitar up properly that's for sure and he ruined all of the Chrome with that wire brush.

YJM Pots? someone must have changed them recently!! i would have fittted 500k Alpha or CTS pots and a Grigsby or CRL pickup selecter switch and Dimarzio pickups! the Floyd Rose is sitting too far back, it needs to float level and also you must set the intonation correctly to tune well .. too many factors in a guitar setup once you strip and rebuild etc.
Love these videos, first class work! But where do you find these guitars? They have such creative paint, very punk ! I would keep them like they are and just do what was necessary to make them play. But to each his own style.. stay cool my brother!
@@underrottensky I've never seen things like this at any auctions I've been to. There must be special ones in Japan just for music gear. In any case, the paint schemes tell me that there is/was a vibrant underground punk scene going on
Buen trabajo de limpieza , sobre el tremolo tipo Floyd deberías informarte , no lo has quedado bien ajustado , es un sistema flotante con lo cual debería estar paralelo al cuerpo , para que tenga el Max recorrido hacia los dos lados , y sobre las demostraciones , no es por criticar , pero no sé quién está tocando la guitarra , pero así no se puede apreciar la calidad de ninguno de tus trabajos , no sé realmente su estilo , pero tocar a lo loco sin sentido ninguno , da igual la calidad de la guitarra , no se aprecia nada , es una crítica constructiva, una cosa es que te guste un estilo de música , pero para hacer una demostración de guitarra , deberías buscar a alguien que controle distintos estilos de música .
Jeez, lots of Einstein's commenting out there, it's fake, it's not set-up properly, they are not the original parts, he's all about cleaning up and allowing it to play, at no time did it say original condition so please settle down girls ( again) 😂
I wonder where he gets them from. I would love to have one like that and just do what was required to make it playable. They all look like underground Punk guitars that have been in storage for a very long time. 80's relics?
@@stratkiller2531 kramer striker custom by gibson. costs about 700 dollars and i think this is a guitar he has painted up to look old and rather shitty because the guitar is almost new, not a mark on the neck, the frets have zero wear, and the body is immaculate. the dinks on the headstock look like they are done on purpose coz what kind of fall or play wear would do that to a guitar headstock "just on the face" without bending or breaking something else? i say suspicious.

Those overengineered Floyd Rose systems are peak 80s beauty. They look so Mad Max, like an exposed engine or something!

Yours is dipping into the tremolo cavity a bit. It can take a few adjustments to get right, but it's not too bad.
Awesome work on this kramer all it needs now is a cover so the wiring is not exposed
i like that you returned it to its original sunburst

Clearly wanted to be George Lynch.
Yeah! That was like painting over a fine, hardwood floor!
It seems at one point there were more non usa made Kramer's then the ones completely made in the usa
Gotta love the ghetto paint jobs the previous owners of theses guitars do.

I saw the flame maple burst in that one section and I was so afraid that it would be lost when the paint was removed. Bravo!
Nice playing!! The Orchid riff was an unexpected surprise
Thanks.
And the skramz and Indian Summer logos in your video are cool!
富吉もきっと草葉の影で泣いて喜んでくれるでしょう
そうだったら嬉しいですね！笑
On a floyd rose guitar, make sure you put a string bar after the ocking nut to keep the strings sticked to the nut before locking.
I love your restirations! Respect that you leave some scratch marks on these guitars, as it should be!

totally agree, and i've never see a metal stripe under the bridge pivots so far
@@Zer0basscovers Yup and you can buy them new for under $400.00us.
It’s a Music Yo Kramer. Inexpensive export models usually made in Korea from the 90s throughout the early 2000s. This one is a variation of a Striker.
Fake restoration, that's what it is...

This is the second video I have seen of yours and I can say you do some really good restoration work 🎼🎸🎼
The end result seems like anything but junk. Beautiful woods. Put on high-quality hardware, and it's probably a "lifetime" guitar.
Good job in the restorations, as always. It is fun to see the guitars almost back to it's original look and condition. One observation on the play test though, it was good right until the clean sounds lol. Cheers!

You need a washer to protect the wood top when installing the potentiometer lock nuts!
Beautiful! Thank You :). Best Regards and Best Wishes!

I'm guessing by the sticker on the back of the neck it's a 2001 Gibson made Kramer
余計な塗装やシールは剥がすけど、キズや塗装の剥がれ凹みには手を入れず現状復帰させているんですね。あんなに悲惨な状態だったのに、ピッカピカのギターに生き返った！！
感動もんですわ！！ww
Excellent. I really like your guitar playing too.
Thank you！
Amazing restoration, and this also goes to show how durable a poly finish is, I never wouldve guessed it would've cleaned up that nice.
Sweet guitar, wonderful job!
Thank you！

You did a great job but I actually liked the paint job :D
Wonderful restoration on the Striker 211 in fire burst. Its a shame Epiphone change the Kramer logo for a brief time.
As good as new!!!

That is one gorgeous guitar unrestored
Great job. I wonder what model that is? Once you get the trem set up and intonation dialed in, that'll be a cool guitar.
Gorgeous job, keep it up!

Is that even a real Kramer? Never seen a logo like that. Looks like someone tried to do a George Lynch ESP to it
Hello, nice restore as usual. Please, wich product do you use to remove the up painting? It's at 8.01 but I can't recognize it. Thank you so much!
im actually kinda of mind blown about him using mild enamel remover to take a paint off.

全て消してしまったので申し訳ないですが。
Why do people do this to a guitar? This is a crime against music. Great to have it restored.
Tu tá louco e uma Kramer 😱😍
I was wondering where you find all these guitars? Online, pawn stores?

To clean, submerge the fittings in vinegar for 10 minutes and clean as you avoid scratching the pieces.
