Originally a signature guitar in the 1980s, the Kramer Nightswan is a true shredder’s delight. And who’s signature model was it? Let’s just say that this sweet-savage axe-wielder was a real holy diver. This made-for-performance double-cutaway boasts a polka dot finish that can only be described as mind-bending, but it wasn’t built for show — unless it’s to show off your chops. Its C-shaped, 3-piece maple neck is unlike any other guitar you’ll ever pick up, while its ruler-flat 16”-radius ebony fingerboard ensures lightning-fast playability. Plug into any high-gain monstrosity, and you’ll be greeted by classic hot-rodded humbucker tones, courtesy of two Seymour Duncan JB pickups. No guitar would be shred-worthy without a double-locking tremolo, and the Nightswan includes the gold standard — a Floyd Rose. The Nightswan features rock-solid deluxe tuners, stylish fingerboard inlays, and an era-defining reverse banana-style headstock.
Why do some of the used instruments have a “used” stamp on the back of the headstock?
This step is a long-standing agreement we have had with some of our manufacturing partners taken to protect their interests and to prevent the filing of improper warranty claims. For many consumers, the “used” stamp is recognized as a sign of quality, giving confidence that an instrument originating from MIRC has been properly set-up and refurbished by a professional tech.
