Wow...congrats on both guitars! I’m no Kramer expert, but I haven’t seen a Pacer with a pickguard. Doesn’t mean they didn’t make them however. But the pacers I have seen all have rear loaded cavities. I’m going to guess that this might be a Focus series guitar body. A Focus 3000. More info here: www.vintagekramer.com/index.htm |

Also...
I can’t read the writing on the Floyd along the fine tuners...but if it says licensed under FR....it’s not an OFR. That would mean the guitar is a parts mutt (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing) or it might be a MusicYo Kramer. I’m not an expert....just an observation.
And there no way that guitar is intonated properly.... lol

Lol that's what I said to myself about the intonation. The guys said it is all set up etc but we shall see when i get it. The bridge says Kramer on it so it is licensed version not original. For $250 I am am happy as hell.
I am going to guess that the bridge is made in germany by schaller. Just like the Jackson floyd s.

I have a Licenced “Ping” Floyd in my Strat. I have no issues with it at all. The mounting studs are smaller than an OFR but that seems to be really the only difference I can see.
Stays in tune like a champ.

Yup I have had a few of them and one is on my the guitar in this pic. I find they work just as well as my original floyds. There are many cheap crappy licenced flyds that are absolute garbage but these ones made in germany by schaller are great but more expensive than the garbage ones. After looking at your kramer vintage site, I think it must be a Focus 3000. That is the only series offering ssh pickguard with double locking floyd. The 300 st had the same pickguard but was only single locking.   |

Do you mind if I post some pics in the Kramer forum and see what the experts think you have here?

Sure i don't mind. Go ahead! The neck is aftermarket. I am going to go back and read through my communications with the seller and see if he said anything about floyd.......we texted alot lol so might have missed something

Ok gtrjunior i just talked to him again and the bridge was added. He said original was dilapidated string through.
So i am pretty sure it's a 300st. Unless the focus 3000 came with string through which i doubt.

Ok...
AFAIK the Focus was a Floyd bridge only.
