1980s Kramer Richie Sambora RS Jersey Star Black HHH Superstrat, 100% Original

Up for sale, a late 1980s Kramer Richie Sambora RS Jersey Star in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Released during the peak of Bon Jovi’s popularity, Kramer’s RS “Jersey Star” was created in direct collaboration with Richie Sambora. As Bon Jovi’s lead guitarist and the co-writer of their massive hits, this RS model is feature-rich, geared for massive chords and singing lead work. Featuring a Pacer-style alder body with rounded contours, the guitar is loaded with a trio of hotly wound humbuckers coupled to a five-way pickup selector, with a global two-way coil tap mini toggle and a “blower switch” that bypasses the single Volume knob and sends the signal directly to the output jack. Weighing 8lbs 5oz, this Richie Sambora RS benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
