This is a new Kramer VT111S, Str*t copy that has been heavily modified to put it in the same category of tone and playability as a USA Fender Strat, at a mere fraction of the cost!
For jazz tone, you'll find an authentic Bill Lawrence single coil-sized, S-280 humbucker pickup in the neck. This guitar quacks and jangles with the best Strats around.

For old-time R&R, a Seymour Duncan PAF style SSL-1 single coil pickup in the middle position blows the doors off other brand name reissue pickups.

Pickup selector positions 2 and 4 quack so much that you'd almost swear the guitar has a built-in wah-wah! If you play funk or jazz fusion, you'll love these settings.

I have blocked the tremelo for better tunability and the fact that I never use it. With any string change you can easily remove the block of wood and have a fully functional, vintage style, 6 point tremelo, if you wish. She is currently strung with D'Addario XL110's with a wound 3rd (did I mention that I play jazz with this guitar? :)
