The Kramer Baretta is a legendary electric guitar that gained fame in the 1980s as a go-to axe for hard rock and metal guitarists. Designed with simplicity and high performance in mind, the Baretta features a single high-output humbucker, fast-playing slim maple neck, and Floyd Rose locking tremolo system, making it perfect for dive bombs, shredding, and high-speed riffing. Originally made famous by Eddie Van Halen and other virtuoso guitarists, the Baretta remains a top choice for those who want a no-nonsense rock machine.
Sound and Playability
Tone: The combination of a maple body and a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker produces a bright, articulate tone with powerful sustain and a pronounced midrange, perfect for cutting through a mix.
Playability: The thin-profile neck and 14-inch radius fingerboard allow for fast, fluid soloing and effortless riffing.
Versatility: The push/pull coil tap on the volume knob offers the option to switch between humbucker and single-coil tones for additional sound variety.
Tuning Stability: The Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo ensures rock-solid tuning stability, even with extreme whammy bar use.
