A Budget-friendly Tribute to a 1980s Classic

The Pacer Classic is a superb tribute to Kramer’s original shred-style axe, and it won't drain your wallet. Picking up the Pacer Classic is like hopping in a time machine — its familiar double-cut body and classic-style headstock will transport you right back to the decade of decadence. This high-performance solidbody electric guitar was built for high speed and high performance. Its balanced-sounding alder body yields the characteristic tone that's fueled a zillion hard rock classics. Its ruler-flat 12-inch-radius fingerboard ensures lightning-fast playability. And when you plug the Pacer Classic into a cranked British-style stack, you can rest assured that its dual open-coil humbuckers will deliver the goods. And since no guitar would be shred-worthy without a double-locking tremolo, the Pacer Classic comes armed with a licensed Floyd Rose. If you want to rock like it's 1982, the Kramer Pacer Classic will be happy to oblige.

Feature-laden, high-performance shred machine

Boasting Kramer’s original 1980s design, the Pacer Classic is a feature-laden, high-performance shred machine. Its alder body exhibits a balanced sound with equal helpings of highs, mids, and lows. Its K-Speed SlimTaper "C"-shaped maple neck features a lightning-fast 12-inch-radius fingerboard with a 25.5-inch scale and 22 medium-jumbo frets. The Pacer Classic sports an eye-grabbing matching headstock with a classic Kramer logo.

Open-coil Alnico Classic 5 humbuckers

The Kramer Pacer Classic comes loaded with a set of high-octane open-coil Alnico Classic 5 humbuckers. These pickups deliver an aggressive, punchy sound. Pair this axe with a high-gain amp, and you’ll enjoy a powerful, chest-punching crunch and soaring, harmonic-laden highs that never become shrill or strident. From a fat growl to a metallic scream, these humbuckers are primed for hard rock mayhem. The Pacer Classic includes a standard 3-way toggle switch, independent volume knobs for each pickup, and a master tone control.

Licensed Floyd Rose tremolo for twisting, bending, and dive-bombing

Do you dive-bomb? Shriek? Squeal? Flutter? Of course, you do! Otherwise, you wouldn’t be on Sweetwater.com looking at shred machines like the Pacer Classic. Like other high-performance solidbody electric guitars, the Pacer Classic comes equipped with a rock-solid Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo. Licensed to Kramer from Floyd Rose, this trem can be used for subtle vibrato or full-blown dive bombs — the choice is yours. Either way, you’ll experience the same response and tuning stability that you'd expect from a Floyd Rose. Whether you use it or abuse it, you'll have trouble knocking the Pacer Classic out of tune.

Kramer Pacer Classic Lefty

First off thanks to Sean DeLeon for helping me order the guitar , it arrived fast and on time as he stated and I waited the 24 hours to let it get used to my house temp/climate , it was packed well and was in tune right out of the box , the techs noted on that card did a great job dialing it in or Kramer did too , but I'm leaning more towards the tech's at Sweetwater Alex A and Dwane M it a comfort to buy a guitar online without playing it knowing that a skilled tech or techs will go over it for us ! now the guitar it was set up well and in perfect condition I peeled off all the sticker /clear wrap etc.. and the frets were not sharp , it played nice and smooth , and the pickups sounded good , I'm very happy with it and going to put a Floyd rose trem stop /stabilizer on so I can put the EVH D Tuna on then my Kramer will be complete ! Thanks again Sweetwater!

Classic

This is a classic guitar that sounds amazing and can shred. Would Have gave this guitar 5 stars, but the frets on the edges are razor sharp. Not sure if it's just my guitar or it's a known issue.
