I received my Kramer Assault 220 Plus today. When I pulled it from the box the high E was broken. Not a big deal. I restring all new guitars anyway so nothing to get worked up over. The fit and finish is top notch. The fretboard is flawless and got even better after some F-ONE oil. I installed a new set of NYXL’s and immediately popped the high E with the first bend I attempted. I pulled the string block out and it had a sharp little groove worn into it that was causing the breakage. A nail file fixed that in a couple of seconds. The only real gripe I had with the guitar was the factory setup. Truss was waaaay off and the bridge was far too high. Whoever did that setup should hang his/her head in abject shame. After some massaging and tweaking I have this beast playing like my Schecter Loomis. The EMGs kick ass, the Floyd works beautifully, and all of the hardware is quite nice. I want a white one now. My wife may be planning my murder as I type this.

I've been a hard rock and metal musician for 45 years and own or have owned nearly every popular electric guitar ever made, including '80's Kramers. This Kramer is outstanding in every way. The build quality is better than many contemporary famous guitar brands.. The same goes for the new Kramer Barreta Vintage, as I own two of those as well.

"Poor quality"

Overall: 0.5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
All the frets stuck out on the top and bottom of the neck and were sharp. For the price I figured it would have been better quality. I have bought an Epiphone on here in the past for $50 more than the price of this guitar. It's quality was three times better than this guitar. This was an expensive purchase for me since it cost me $109 to ship back.
