Northwest Vintage Guitars presents a honey of a ESP made Kramer JK1000 from 1986 and featuring the Maricela APH-1BJ Alnico II Humbucker. The Maricela pickups have been selling for a pretty penny all on their own. What a great guitar that feels, plays and sounds fantastic. The humbucker reads 8.13k ohm and attains both vintage PAF tones and high drive girth. 25.5" scale, 16" radius, 7.56 lbs. The leaning trem post problem was repaired here in house by our competent repair staff. It stays in tune like it should. There is one replaced saddle, new strap buttons, and it comes safely packed and fully insured in the original Kramer gig bag in the photos.
The nut measures 1.66", neck depth is .81"-.90" at the 1st and 12th frets respectively. It's the ESP C profile neck that folks love. Freshly strung and accurately intonated with D'Addario XL 10-46 nickel strings and low 1.6mm-1.25mm action. The frets are level, crowned and polished and the fretboard is clean and conditioned. The neck is straight, the truss rod turns in both directions, and the relief is currently set for optimum playability. There are a few scratches and dings as pictured. It remains in excellent playable condition with no dead spots.
