Kramer 84

Kramer 84

After 40 years, the Kramer 84 continues to connect with generations of fans as the no nonsense staple of rock.  

Celebrating its 40^th anniversary this year, the Kramer 84 honors one of the most influential and iconic electric guitars of all time. This updated Kramer 84 has more in common with the 80s-era originals than ever, including a new headstock rear—stinger–that matches the body and front headstock finish, a new direct-to-body mounted Kramer USA Eruption T humbucker™ pickup that Gibson Master Luthier Jim DeCola designed, and even a new retro-style knurled volume knob. Of course, we kept the classic features like the lightweight alder body, 84 Banana headstock, and Floyd Rose® 1000 series tremolo, but now the R2 locking nut is rear-mounted, just like in the 80s.  The new Kramer 84 is available worldwide with a premium gig bag in Intruder Black Satin, Eruption Red Satin, and Angel White Satin, as well as two online exclusive colors, Bumblebee Yellow Satin and Atlas Green Satin. The Kramer 84 is also available in a left-handed version exclusively via www.KramerGuitars.com.

Nite-V:

Nite-V

Ever since it was first introduced in 2008, the Kramer Nite-V has been embraced by many notable metal players, including Charlie Parra, Prika Amaral (Nervosa), and The Jasons. The Kramer Nite-V™ is the ultimate shredder’s V, and its distinctive body carving make it a very comfortable model to play when standing. The latest version of this manic metal machine features a mahogany body with string-through-body construction, a 14-degree angled headstock, locking tuners, a Graph Tech® nut, a thermally aged maple neck with a K-Speed SlimTaper™ C-shaped profile outfitted with a bound ebony fretboard with Thorn inlays and jumbo frets, and a pair of Kramer USA-made Eruption pickups. A premium gig bag is also included. Pick one up today and rule the stage all Nite long!  The new Kramer Nite-V is available in Royal Blue Metallic and Crimson Metallic, and it comes with a premium gig bag.

Pacer Carrera:

Pacer Carrera

The Kramer Pacer Carrera is a Kramer vault find which had a limited life in the 80s and remains a highly coveted cult favorite.

Nothing says “rock & roll” like fast cars and fast guitars! Kramer has brought them together with the Pacer Carrera, a Seymour Duncan®-equipped tone machine with a shred-ready ebony fretboard, and your choice of an Ebony or a fiery Defender Red gloss finish inspired by the fastest cars on four wheels. The satin-finished maple neck has a Slim profile for the ultimate in control and comfort as you weave your way around the track. The hot-rodded Seymour Duncan SH-2N neck and JB™ bridge pickups are well-known for cranking out plenty of horsepower and tonal variety. Add a genuine Floyd Rose® 1000 Series vibrato and R2 Locking Nut, and you’ve got an axe that’s just begging to be played fast and mean. The Kramer Pacer Carrera arrives with a premium gig bag.

Assault Figured:

Assault Figured

The Kramer Assault started life as the Kramer Custom when it was first released in 2000. A modern take on the Les Paul™, it has since become a popular model for hard rock and metal players who want a lighter and sleeker single cutaway guitar. This newly updated version features a new three-piece thermally aged maple neck with a satin-finished back, K-Speed SlimTaper™ C profile, and 25.5” scale length, while the ebony fretboard is equipped with 24 jumbo frets and decked out with classic Kramer Diamond Eye inlays. The mahogany body is capped with a AAA flame maple veneer and is packing a pair of Kramer USA Eruption humbucker™ pickups for full-throttled tone and plenty of attitude. They’re wired to individual volume controls and a master tone control, all of which use CTS® potentiometers. Of course, we also included a Floyd Rose® 1000 series tremolo and R2 locking nut so you can dive-bomb any audience into submission at will and a premium gig bag to help keep it safe when you’re headed out to blow everyone away at your next gig. The new Kramer Assault Figured is available in Caribbean Blue Perimeter and Magenta Perimeter, and it comes with a premium gig bag. An exclusive Kramer Assault model is also available in Jet Black Metallic, Bumblebee Yellow, and Vice City Pink online only on www.KramerGuitars.com.

Jersey Star:

Jersey Star

The Kramer Jersey Star is designed for players who want more, more pickups, more speed, and more in-your-face Kramer attitude! Part of Kramer’s Original Collection, the Jersey Star was first released in the 1980s and, over the years, has been one Kramer’s longest-running and most popular models. This updated version features gold hardware, a three-piece maple neck with a satin finish, an elliptical C profile for speed and comfort, and a 25.5” scale length. The maple fretboard sports 22 jumbo frets and laser-cut mother-of-pearl star inlays. The alder body also features a mother-of-pearl star inlay. It packs a trio of Kramer USA Neptune humbucker™ pickups paired with a master volume control, a five-way pickup selector switch, and individual coil tap mini switches for the bridge and middle pickups. These Kramer Neptune pickups are designed by Richard Akers, Senior Engineer and Product Development at Gibson who has worked for decades at Gibson and is highly regarded within the Kramer community and among guitar enthusiasts. The Kramer “pointy” headstock also has a mother-of-pearl star inlay, along with a Floyd Rose® R2 locking nut that, along with the Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo, keeps everything solidly in tune, regardless of how wild you get with the wiggle stick acrobatics. A premium gig bag keeps this Jersey Star safe and secure, no matter where the road may take you. The new Kramer Jersey Star is available in White Pearl and Black Pearl, and it comes with a premium gig bag.

Loud, proud, and never following the crowd, Kramer is MADE TO ROCK HARD and has been setting trends since it was first launched in 1976. Kramer released the first guitars specifically designed for metal and rock shredder virtuosos; iconic Kramer designs like the Baretta, Pacer, Vanguard, NightSwan, and SM-1 deliver the kind of speed, performance, and playability that they demand. Made for rule-breakers that play fast and loud, Kramer has been embraced by legendary rockers like Eddie Van Halen, Vivian Campbell, Richie Sambora, Elliot Easton, and Mick Mars during the height of the metal era in the 1980s—a period when Kramer was the most popular guitar brand in the world. Kramer’s innovative approach and unwavering commitment to performance makes Kramer instruments the choice of today’s hard rock and metal shredders such as Dave Mustaine, Lzzy Hale, Charlie Parra, Tracii Guns, and Snake Sabo. Based in Nashville, TN, Kramer joined the Gibson family in 1997. Check us out at http://www.kramerguitars.com and follow us on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram.  Kramer – Made to Rock Hard.
