The champagne one is a Custom I and has an angled H and the S/S with on/off switches for each pickup and a 'blower' switch which defaults to the H when engaged regardless of the positioning of all of the other switches. It has only a volume and no tone controls. The angled H is said to have an effect on the sound but I can't pick it out yet...maybe in time.
I haven't had the Custom I or the Custom II to my tech yet but soon they'll have their set-up done properly to feel like the Deluxe and have their own nuances as far as sound goes. I like my guitars to play smooth and I hate when notes choke or strings buzz. Thank the powers that be that I found a dude who really knows how to set them up right!!
There is a chance that the guitars have some differences in body woods too...poplar or maple and an outside chance of alder. The cheaper Kramers were known for using plywood (anything under the Focus lines).
