Kramer Guitars is declaring single-pickup rock legends have been “reborn” with the two newest additions to its Custom Graphics Collection.
Comprising a Kramer 84 with an unmissable Red Bullseye design, and a Kramer Pacer with a safari-ready Wild Zebra graphic, the new drop looks as loud as these guitars have been built to be.
Kramer is well known for its eye-catching, glam-metal-focused electric guitars, and the Custom Graphics Collection has already given us a martial arts-inspired yellow snake graphic and a hot dog guitar, because... well, why not.
While these two new '80s shred machines slightly dial down the ridiculousness in one sense, they've cranked it to 11 in another; these guitars scream glam metal extravagance.
The Kramer 84 is labeled as a “true homage to the golden age of shred,” as it pays tribute to an era defined by loud aesthetics and burning solos.
Specs-wise, beneath the bullseye is a lightweight alder body, a single Kramer 84-T humbucker in the bridge position, a push/pull Volume control, and a Floyd Rose R2 1000 series locking nut and 1000 series Floyd Rose bridge.
The Kramer Pacer, meanwhile, doffs its cap to the 1982 Pacer, which it believes “revolutionized the guitar world.”
While the claim is bold, so too is the design, which boasts a double cutaway alder body for easy access to the high frets, a Kramer 85-T humbucker, and the same push/pull pot and Floyd Rose trem setup as the 84.
Both guitars offer bolt-on Kramer K-Speed SlimTaper C-profile necks, as well as a 25.5" scale length and a 12.6" fingerboard radius. They also come with a premium gig bag.
Prices have yet to be confirmed, but previous Custom Graphics models have weighed in at around the $1k mark, so expect to find the same here. It's also worth noting these are exclusive to Kramer.
