The Kramer Striker 300ST was the Korean made budget version of the Pacer Deluxe model, with a humbucker at the bridge and two single coil pickups mounted on a black pickguard with single volume and two tone controls. Initially (in 1984) the 300ST had a traditional style tremolo but this was changed in 1985 to a Floyd Rose tremolo without fine tuners and no locking nut. In 1987 the bridge was changed to a Floyd Rose II unit with fine tuners, recessed cavity and a locking nut, the headstock shape changed to the banana shape and the body became more narrow waisted and less strat-like.
