Firmly rooted in 1980s Rock, the Kramer Jersey Star is, to many players, the definitive Kramer guitar. With its contoured, double-cutaway body, trio of powerful humbucking pickups, Floyd Rose trem and all-important, iconic, Mother-of-Pearl star inlays, this guitar is designed to be noticed!
The Jersey Star features a contoured double-cutaway alder body inlaid with the famous mother of pearl star on the upper bout. This is paired with a 3 piece maple neck that features an elliptical 'C' profile. The neck is capped with a maple fretboard that features a super-flat 16" radius - perfect for big string bends, vibrato and the all important pinched harmonics. The fretboard is also home to a set of iconic Mother-of-Pearl star position markers, with a double star at the 12th fret. It is also home to 22 medium jumbo frets.
Powering the Jersey Star are a trio of Seymour Duncan Humbuckers - a JN in the neck position and a pair of the world famous JBs in the middle and bridge positions. These powerful pickups give the Jersey Star its iconic tone - biting harmonics, punchy midrange and a gutsy low end, without ever being thin and fizzy - perfect classic rock and metal tones. The pickups are wired through a master volume control, a five way selector switch and a pair of mini switches for coil splitting on the neck and bridge pickups.
Hardware, as you'd expect for this sort of guitar, comprises a double locking trem system. In the case of the Jersey Star, this comes courtesy of a Floyd Rose 1000 series tremolo and locking nut. A die cast set of pearloid buttoned machine heads add to the classic look whilst anchoring the strings to the headstock. All the hardware features a gold finish.
So whether you are nostalgic over 1980s' power ballads and pinched harmonics, or whether you are a modern guitarist looking for a powerful, aggressive instrument that delivers great tone and great looks in equal measure, the Kramer Jersey Star is an incredible guitar, worthy of your attention.
