Replace Kramer Pacer Imperial with what???

[ido1957]

I got my Kramer Pacer back from the shop today after a fret dressing. The repair guy said I should consider not using this as my main guitar anymore (which it has been for many years). There's a slight "bump" on the neck/fretboard around the first fret (neck fatigue/scarf joint). Still plays great so I'm keeping it (fret job was great too).

So my question to you is what would you replace this with? An 80's Pacer Imperial has dual humbuckers and a nice flat neck with a rosewood fingerboard. So I'd like to keep those features if I could.

Let's keep the budget around $2000. (man prices are way up now!).....

Links and photos are welcome.

Thanks !

If you like the Kramer Pacer, maybe find another. Heres an ebay link to a pacer, its not an imperial though....the picture isn't the best either ...

If you wana stay with a Kramer, I'd go with a KnightSwan. Biggest mistake I ever made was selling mine! I believe the necks are the same except for a reverse headstock. Of course there are plenty of Kramer necks for sale on Ebay too.

Good ideas - I'll keep a look out on Ebay. Looking for any recommendations on new guitars too....Someone mentioned Music Man guitars were similar. Anyone ever had a Kramer and had to replace it or had it stolen etc.....
