Kramer has unveiled the stunning new Malina Moye Pacer Deluxe, and a limited number of left-handed models are being made available for the guitar’s launch!
Finished in a vivid Splash Blue gloss with contrasting gold hardware, the new artist model is unlikely to disappear into the background. It was created for acclaimed singer, songwriter, and fellow left-handed guitarist Malina Moye, whose music brings together blues-rock, funk, pop, R&B, and soul.
Malina is known for playing left-handed guitars upside down with the strings reversed, an unconventional approach that has become a key part of her identity as a guitarist. However, the production left-handed Pacer Deluxe uses a conventional left-handed configuration, making it ready for most players straight out of the included premium Kramer gig bag.

In this short video, Malina Moye discusses her background, the inspiration behind her new Kramer signature model, and some of the features that shaped its design. She also gives the guitar a quick demo, so you can hear it in action before taking a closer look at the full specifications below.
Classic Pacer Shape With Modern Features
The Malina Moye Pacer Deluxe has a double-cutaway alder body with forearm and belly contours. A sculpted neck heel should also make reaching the upper frets more comfortable.
Its bolt-on maple neck has a custom Malina Moye Medium C profile, a 25.5-inch scale length, and a maple fretboard with a 10-inch radius. Kramer has fitted it with 22 medium-jumbo frets, black dot position markers, and a custom Malina logo inlay at the 12th fret.
A spoke-wheel truss rod adjustment at the end of the fretboard allows for faster neck adjustments without removing a cover or taking the neck off the body.
The matching Splash Blue reverse beak headstock carries a reproduction of Moye’s signature on the back. Locking tuners and a Graph Tech TUSQ nut are paired with a two-point Kramer tremolo to help maintain tuning stability.
Three DiMarzio Pickups
The HSS pickup configuration is one of the guitar’s biggest attractions.
A DiMarzio Virtual Vintage Blues occupies the neck position, with an Area 67 in the middle and a Super Distortion humbucker at the bridge. That combination should cover everything from cleaner blues and funk tones to powerful rock leads and higher-gain rhythm sounds.
The pickups are controlled through a five-way selector, master volume, and two tone controls. One tone knob operates the middle pickup, while the other is connected to the neck pickup. Everything is mounted on a tortoiseshell-style pickguard.
Where to Buy the Left-Handed Malina Moye Pacer Deluxe
The left-handed Kramer Malina Moye Pacer Deluxe has a US price of $1,299.
Kramer describes the left-handed version as a made-to-order model but has produced a limited initial batch for the launch. That suggests early stock may be difficult to replace once the first guitars sell through.
At the time of writing, the new model is listed at Guitar Center and zZounds. Additional retailer links will be added below as they become available.
The Splash Blue finish, versatile DiMarzio pickup set, modern hardware, and limited launch availability make this one of Kramer’s most interesting left-handed releases in recent years! I think it looks incredible – great job Malina!
