Description: 

A true glam-metal classic; a 1987 Kramer Richie Sambora Signature "Star" SuperStrat built in Japan by ESP during Kramer's classic Neptune, NJ era.Although 40 years old this one remains in overall very good condition and plays great! Body shows some light surface marks and dings, and a decent finish crack at the output jack. See photos for details. Otherwise, the body is in good shape with no other signs of damage or issues. Neck shows some light surface marks but otherwise is very clean with no major damage or blemishes. Headstock shows some very light surface marks and wear along the edge, but is otherwise very clean. Fretboard remains in excellent shape along with the frets which show hardly any wear whatsoever and have plenty of life in them. Hardware remains in great shape, though the gold plating has faded quite a bit on the bridge and pickup rings. Electronics work perfectly and features just a sing volume control with switches for coil tap and a volume control bypass that goes straight to the output jack. Perfect for setting the volume slightly lower for rhythm playing then hit the switch for a lead. Original humbuckers sound great! A killer superstrat that plays amazing! Has been fully inspected and set up by our tech and ready for a new home. Includes hard case. See below for a full list of specs and info.
