The Kramer Elliot Easton is the greatest Floyd Rose guitar that you've never played.Hot damn the EE Pros are rare.  These were one of Kramer USA's last attempts to right Kramer's course before inevitable bankruptcy.  They ended up being the final American Series models that they produced.  The more common Elliot Easton's came in maple while this particular model features a thinner D-shaped maple neck with a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard.  Combined with the jumbo frets, it's my opinion that these guitars should be priced higher than they've been previously valued at.  It is virtually impossible to find an electric guitar with a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard in this condition for under $3000 let alone $2000.  Bar none, this is one of the most playable guitars I have ever had my hands on. A Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard like this is one of the nicest feelings you will ever experience. It feels like a vintage Fender strat with how it bends and I plan on keeping one of them. It's a total speed-racer and my favorite Floyd-guitar. As a functional instrument it stays in incredible tune and I've never played a Floyd guitar that stayed in tune better. That is no exaggeration, you will see for yourself. There's an incredible amount of up/down pull like a JEM and it's hard to believe that this model didn't take off like it. The hardtail version is also incredible.  The electronics in this function flawlessly and the guitar is one hundred percent original. I normally hate pickup switches, but the switching system on this was expertly designed by Tom Anderson and allows for many different pickup combinations. Even better, is very easy to understand. The top switch is for to activate a coil-split, and when it is activated you can choose between which coil of the humbucker you want to activate in the bridge based on where you set the switch. The vintage Seymour Duncans in this sound so good that it's beyond words. The diversity and range in the tones you can achieve with this guitar will blow you away. It can sound like Nile Rodgers strat, a 50s tele and a barking Les Paul. Everyone who tries this thing says this same thing---wow!!!  This particular model is in spectacular condition with a clean face and 1-2 small barely noticeable scratches throughout. The guitar is an absolute stunner and the finish is beauty defined. The aesthetic and artistic design of the guitar is arguably Kramer's highest achievement. It was recently acquired from an owner in Neptune, NJ so you'd have to assume just based on the Kramer HQ plant being in Neptune that this guitar is a small-town girl. It was spectacularly cared for and you'd have to assume that it sat in someone's closet. The guitar comes with the original whammy bar and original hardshell case (message for pictures.)There are very few of these remaining especially in this kind of condition. Don't let this one slip away at $1499 opening bid.  
------------REFUNDS AND RETURNS: Due to previous fraudulent claims by a buyer, I do not offer refunds or returns.  eBay's claims process heavily favors the buyer and they do not/will not inspect or investigate items in the case the buyer misrepresents what they receive. I try my best to list the guitars as accurately as possible to avoid any potential issues down the line. Please know what you are buying and if you have any questions, ask them first---I will be more than happy to answer them promptly. If you would like to see more pictures of the guitar, they are available on request. A video test of any guitar listed is also available upon request.
