I had realistic expectations based on reviews, esp. regarding QC, but I was pleasantly surprised.
It’s made in Indonesia, not Korea, but this guitar is miles ahead in QC and finish of an Indo made Ibanez I had. This Kramer is pretty much flawless. Frets are perfect. FR is good. Tuners are good. Nut is good. The finish is flawless, both body and neck. The setup was decent, you can’t complain.
The only negative is the middle (neck) pickup which is slightly narrow. Both E strings are almost outside the magnet, but it sounds good, so I doubt I’ll do anything about it.
IMO this guitar represents great value. You get the legendary 24.75" Nightswan at a very good price.
Also thanks to Thomann for selling new products that are in fact new. Not mentioning other online retailers, but the assurance of actually recieving a brand new product is highly valuable.
