Product Description
Kramer does it again with the Focus FR-211S. It is the world's best and most affordable Floyd-Rose double-locking tremolo equipped guitar. Now, you can whammy all night long with blistering leads featuring dive-bomb sonic attacks and tremolo acrobatics. And do not worry. With the double-locking system, the strings come right back to pitch even under the most brutal assaults. Combine this with a high output, noiseless humbucker in the bridge position and you've got a powerful rock axe.Reviews
Buy it, very nice for the moneyI bought this guitar for a test bed, and spare parts(price a floyd rose bridge) and didn't really expect much due to the price, and I also figured that laminated nato/alder means plywood. It is not plywood. Plywood is thin sheets of venear stacked with opposing grain direction in order to create a strong plyable sheet. This body is made from 3 or possibly 4 layers of wood. It has very good sustain and doesn't even compare to the old POS plywood guitars of the 70's and 80's.
My black and white one came with a maple fingerboard with some birds eye figureing in it. Very nice fast neck. I really like this neck. No bow or warp. The frets were slightly rough when I got it, but they smoothed right up. Very nice neck!!!
The rear humbucker is a pretty strong pick-up, I may add the quadrail package later of just a nice demarzio. No noise at all from the bridge.
The two single coils make noise like all strat pick-ups, but it gives the guitar some vintage strat character.
The bridge wasn't flat like it should be when I got it, but it played ok. The intonation wasn't spot on, but with the help of my boss tuner it is now. There are instructions on the floyd rose site. I replaced the strings right after I got it due to a tiny bit of rust, and discoloration, but I always get a new set for a new guitar so I was ready anyway.
Might be good for a beginer who is scared to work on it to have a music store set it up for him the first time, but instructions are all over the internet for working on the floyd rose.

The tuners are better than I expected, and while they aren't Gotah's, they are pretty nice.
Over all it is a nice little ax. I play mine more than my ESP now a days. It isn't better, but I hate banging my ESP up just practicing.
Guitar RocksI bought this guitar a few days ago. I like the krammer name figured I would give it a shot. The guitar rocks, the humbucker is got some great tone. Its a heavy sounding guitar. The sustain is excellent. I have seven guitars of my own and I have a spent a lot of money and this guitar blows them out of the water. It totally blows away my jacksons. The single coils give you a nice strat feel. The guitar came in excellent condition, strings were brand new. I have read in earlier reviews that people received the strings with rust on them. The floyd rose is an excellent buy especially the price this guitar is going for. It is an excellent buy, you won't be sorry.
