Key Features
Simplicity. Sometimes quality just speaks for itself. And this true for the Kramer Baretta Vintage because it needs no tricks or peacocking to be respected. The history that inspired it does that. Crafted by Kramer as a tribute to the original homemade single-pickup design that you've seen on tour with the likes of Van Halen, this guitar is ready to feed a new generation. So, what does it offer? Packed with a Seymour Duncan JB zebra-coil humbucker and a Floyd Rose 1000 Series Tremolo with R2 Lock Nut, you can create all the metal magic you want. Unleash.
And it's tough. You know knocks to your guitar are inevitable. As an energetic performer, you've come to accept it's part of the shredding life. But that doesn't mean you can't have a guitar that can handle a bit of aggression because Kramer have made sure the Baretta Vintage stays fast, loud, and accurate under the most intense stage conditions. It's down to a maple body and hard maple neck. It's a rigorous design for a rigorous musician.

They've been the leaders for decades. So it makes sense that Kramer have included them in this guitar. The Seymour Duncan JB zebra coil humbucker has been revered amongst metal guitarists for years because of its hot-rod capabilities. And you only need one. A single JB holds enough power, volume, and articulation to give you the heavy sound you want without compromise. Its sensitive nature makes it extremely responsive to your unique playing style which is why it only needs to be controlled by one volume pot. Your technique is in charge.
It's essential for any serious rock guitarist. How else could you incorporate such daring dive bombs into your playing? Thankfully, Kramer know what's required for an exhilarating performance. With the Floyd Rose 1000 bridge and an R2 locking nut, you have the freedom of creativity right at your fingertips because this locking tremolo system lets you perform the most audacious of vibrato effects. And your strings will go back to perfect tuning. So you'll know that you still sound great even after your insane whammy bar antics.
It's simply the best. The one and only. There's nothing else quite like a maple neck. When it's in your hands you just know it's the best wood for the job. It's sweet, sleek and smooth. Giving you everything you need for smooth fret transitions, comfortable grip, and a beautiful, bright resonance, it really does make a difference to your performance. You'll be able to express yourself cleanly and with complete accuracy while your licks glimmer with character. What more could you want from a neck?
For it to be topped with a fretboard that's just as good of course. Don't worry, Kramer have your back there. There's also a pristine maple fretboard to go with the neck. Bright and beautiful, it delivers the ideal playing experience. Your fingers will be in paradise when they feel just how smooth, fast, and comfortable this tool truly is. You'll be able to improvise at will. And because the body, neck and fretboard are all made from maple, your sustain will be like nothing you've heard before. It's a maple machine.
