Kramer Baretta repair

 Here's a Kramer Baretta 110 guitar from the 80's! It's a guitar produced around 1988-1989. It's got a superstrat body shape, a maple neck with rosewood fretboard plus a recessed Floyd Rose II tremolo system. It's got the original Kramer tuners on it.
Electronics upgrade:
 The guitar had a set of early Duncan Designed pickups when built but in this case the pickups were upgraded. This 110 model was fitted with a Lace Sensor single pickup in the neck position and a powerful Dimarzio humbucker in the bridge position. A new set of Japan-made 500K volume and tone controls, a 3-way pickup selector plus an output jack were wired together and placed inside the electronics cavity. Once the wiring was done, I sprayed the electronics with some contact cleaner and tested out the guitar.
It sounds awesome! The pickups are hot and you can easily do some raging soloing through an overdriven amp. Nevertheless, these pickups sound smooth and clean through clean amp channels without overdriving the signal.
 Shredding master:
The guitar has such a comfortable neck profile and the floyd II tremolo is fairly easy to set up. You can actually use these tremolos a lot and stay in tune! This Kramer is definitely a shredding machine from the 80's, made for guitar heroes!
