The all-new Kramer 84: Updated features and exclusive finishes
The Kramer 84 pays tribute to the golden age of shred and recreates one of the most influential electric guitars of all time. Now, it’s even closer to the 1980s originals thanks to a headstock stinger, a locking nut that’s rear-mounted just like they were back in the day, and a new direct-to-body Kramer USA Eruption T humbucker™ with all the output you need and tone for days. There’s also a Floyd Rose® 1000 Series vibrato for rock-solid tuning stability during even the most aggressive passages of play.
The array of finishes includes Intruder Black Satin, Eruption Red Satin, Angel White Satin, and the exclusive trio of Red Bullseye, Atlas Green Satin, and Bumblebee Yellow Satin, which are available only from Kramerguitars.com and the Gibson Garage.

This guitar is celebrated as the ultimate shredder’s V, known for its distinctive body carve that offers exceptional comfort when playing while standing.

The Pacer Carrera: Strap in for speed and racecar-inspired looks
There’s nothing quite like the combination of fast cars and fast guitars to capture the spirit of rock ’n’ roll. With that in mind, Kramer created the Pacer Carrera, a high-performance tone machine equipped with Seymour Duncan® pickups and a shred-ready ebony fretboard. This guitar comes in your choice of an Ebony or a bold Defender Red gloss finish, both inspired by the speed and power of the fastest cars on the road.
The Pacer Carrera features a satin-finished maple neck with a Slim profile, offering unparalleled control and comfort as you navigate every riff and solo. The hot-rodded Seymour Duncan SH-2N neck and JB™ bridge pickups are renowned for delivering plenty of horsepower and a wide range of tones. Paired with a genuine Floyd Rose 1000 Series vibrato and an R2 Locking Nut, this guitar is built for speed and aggression. It also comes with a premium gig bag, making it the perfect companion for those who are ready to play fast and mean.

The Kramer Assault Figured: Stylish and ready to melt faces
Originally introduced as the Kramer Custom in 2000, the Kramer Assault quickly became a favorite among hard rock and metal players looking for a lighter, sleeker alternative to the classic Les Paul™. This modern single-cutaway guitar has evolved over the years, and the latest update features a three-piece thermally aged maple neck with a satin-finished back, K-Speed SlimTaper C profile, and a 25.5” scale length. The ebony fretboard is outfitted with 24 jumbo frets and adorned with classic Kramer Diamond Eye inlays, adding both style and playability.
The Assault’s mahogany body is topped with a stunning AAA flame maple veneer and houses a pair of Kramer USA Eruption humbucker pickups, delivering a powerful tone with plenty of attitude. The pickups are wired to individual volume controls and a master tone control, all utilizing CTS® potentiometers. This model comes equipped with a Floyd Rose 1000 Series vibrato and an R2 locking nut, allowing you to perform dive-bombs with ease. It’s also available in two exclusive finishes.
A premium gig bag is included, ensuring your guitar stays safe as you head out to dominate your next gig.

The Kramer Jersey Star: For players who want more
The Kramer Jersey Star is crafted for players who demand more—more power, more speed, and an undeniable Kramer edge. A standout in Kramer’s Original Collection, the Jersey Star first hit the scene in the 1980s and quickly rose to popularity. This modern iteration features eye-catching gold hardware, a sleek three-piece maple neck with a satin finish, and an elliptical C profile that delivers both speed and comfort. The guitar’s 25.5” scale length, along with its maple fretboard outfitted with 22 jumbo frets and laser-cut mother-of-pearl star inlays, enhances both its playability and visual appeal.

The Jersey Star’s alder body is also decked out with a mother-of-pearl star inlay, perfectly complementing the trio of Kramer USA Neptune humbuckers. These pickups, controlled by a master volume, a five-way selector switch, and individual coil tap mini switches for the bridge and middle pickups, offer a versatile range of tones.
The signature “pointy” Kramer headstock, again featuring a mother-of-pearl star inlay, is equipped with a Floyd Rose R2 locking nut and a Floyd Rose 1000 Series vibrato, ensuring your tuning stays locked in—no matter how aggressively you play. To top it all off, a premium gig bag is included, keeping your Jersey Star protected on every journey.
