Just bought an old Kramer Striker with issues... What to do...


I just bought an old Kramer guitar (Striker300st), dated ' 88, and the f*=ker is keeping me up at night. The guitar itself looks real good concidering it's age and use, but it won't stay in tune. The trem is a floyd rose II. The "local shop"-guy told me theese budget-guitars of the late eightees often has problems when it comes to tuning. "it stays in tune, as long as you don't touch the trem", he said while laughing. (MF!) This is NOT an option. When i bend it drops, and when i use the bar, it goes up again. So, is there anybody out there with some hot tips as to how i can fix this. Someone else told me it might work to change springs, wich i suspect has never been changed. Another tip was to change the saddles on the floyd, but i will not buy new one's until i know this will work. Luckily, i didnt pay a fortune for it, but the guy who sold me the guitar told me it was in mint condicion before he sent it to me, so i better not ever meet him! My risk, however.. Payed ca 100$ for it, so its not a great loss if theres no hope... Haak - Norway [img]images/smilies/icon_jam.gif[/img]
