Kramer 1983 Baretta Reissue Electric Guitar, Case Included - Ebony [Made in Japan]

Kramer 1983 Baretta Reissue Electric Guitar, Case Included - Ebony [Made in Japan]

Ask any Kramer enthusiast what the Holy Grail of vintage instruments is, and they'll agree — unanimously — that it's the '83 Baretta. Originally intended as a signature model for Edward Van Halen, the '83 was greatly influenced by the legendary musician's iconic Frankenstrat. Furthermore, the '83 proved to be one of the earliest factory-built examples of what would eventually become known as a Superstrat. Re-created from detailed 3D imaging from original samples, the Kramer 1983 Baretta Reissue is a spot-on reproduction of an '83. Like the original, the reissue boasts all-maple construction, a ruler-flat rosewood fingerboard, and a slanted reverse-zebra, PAF-style humbucker. And, of course, since no guitar would be shred-worthy without a double-locking trem, the 1983 Baretta Reissue sports a Floyd Rose Original. Period-correct 90-degree Gotoh tuners and a large, non-angled headstock round out this once-in-a-lifetime solidbody electric guitar. Players searching for the definitive Kramer can stop looking; the 1983 Baretta Reissue has returned.
