The 300ST initially had a traditional tremolo, later upgraded to a Floyd Rose II with fine tuners, recessed cavity, and locking nut in 1987.

The Striker models are typically made with plywood bodies, which can affect sustain and resonance compared to solid wood.

Some owners report the plywood body may delaminate over time, impacting durability and structural integrity.

Striker models are considered budget versions, suggesting a market value of $400-$500, with better deals available for higher-end models like the Focus or Pacer.

The Striker 300ST is likened to the Pacer Deluxe but with more affordable materials and features, such as a non-locking nut and simpler tremolo.

The Striker 300ST is compared to Charvette guitars, indicating a similar quality level, suitable for trades among enthusiasts seeking different tonal characteristics.

Some users suggest choosing a used Ibanez RG421 over the Kramer Striker 300ST for better value and quality.

Owners appreciate the neck playability, though the body material is less favored, indicating a balance between feel and tonal expectations.

It's noted that some Striker 300ST necks were made in Neptune, NJ, potentially offering varied craftsmanship compared to fully Korean-made models.

It is noted that some owners find Ibanez and Jackson guitars offer better options in the same price range as the Striker 300ST.

Replacing the original Floyd Rose II with a Floyd Rose Special is a common upgrade for improved performance and reliability.

A Floyd Rose bridge is considered an unnecessary complication for beginner guitarists, potentially making the Striker 300ST less suitable for first-time players.
