If you read this Scott, I am still going to buy the pickups when you finish winding them lol I commissioned them, I'm going to buy them....I'll just save them for a rainy day and put them in something else.
I tried to like that Kramer Pacer Classic I got a couple weeks ago from Guitar Center. I liked the body shape, I liked the color, the neck played fairly decent (needed some fret work to make it better) and the pickups weren't all that bad but the tuners were garbage, the string retainer was garbage, the strap buttons were drilled in crooked, and forearm contour line wasn't straight....all things to be expected on a cheap guitar, but after it still not holding tune and having to unlock the nut again for the n'th time to be able to reset the fine tuners to get it useable, and the guitar just always going ever so slightly out, usually on the D string, and having to tweak it a few times between or during a song while I was practicing, I just couldn't do it anymore. Those people on YouTube that take a cheap guitar with a Floyd Special and say it stays in tune just fine even after repeated bombs are full of shit. I didn't use the Floyd on it, knowing it was cheap, and it still wouldn't stay in tune that well. I just couldn't justify putting my spare OFR into that guitar, upgrading all the electronics, etc when I could get a better guitar to put my OFR in....I had to take it back and get my money back. I've got 2 guitars, one with a Chinese neck, and the other a Chinese neck and body and they're fantastic in my opinion; still not USA quality, but way better than this guitar. Even at the $379 sticker price (I had them match Sweetwater at $299), it's overpriced.
