Kramer has a rich and proud history of high-performance electric guitars that armed the first generation of shredders, and to celebrate this, the brand has reached into the archive to reissue its most classic design – the 1983 Baretta – and officially launching its Historic Collection.
Made in Japan, with a design meticulously cribbed from an original example, the 1983 Beretta Reissue is built for speed. It has everything you need; there’s an Original Floyd Rose tremolo unit with an R5 locking nut to keep the tuning shipshape while going over the top with the whammy bar. There is a reverse zebra Seymour Duncan ’59 humbucker pickup, positioned by the bridge, at an angle because, c’mon, this was the ‘80s.
