I have this listed as "Very Good" but it is oh so close to excellent! The worst culprit is an area of very fine, shallow buckle rash on back. I do believe some very fine wet sanding then polishing will make a good bit of that go away. I ... more

Body from a 1980s Kramer Focus 3000 D electric guitar. This was one of the first models made by ESP in Japan. It is a 1st version and had the 1st model Floyd Rose tremolo with no fine tuners. Also note the output jack was in the pickguard as opposed to the later versions that had a Stratocaster type body jack. Has one very fixable issue. The tremolo post hole on the bass side has elongated slightly. It's probably best to dowel the existing hole and re-drill it. Body has it's share of use ... more
