Kramer Baretta Special Maple Fingerboard Electric Guitar – Black

The Kramer Baretta Special captures the spirit of the legendary ’80s rock scene with a modern, player-friendly design. Inspired by the iconic original Baretta, this streamlined reissue combines classic style, powerful tone, and effortless playability.

Built with a resonant mahogany body and a fast-playing maple neck, the Baretta Special delivers the feel and response that made Kramer guitars a staple of hard rock and metal. The maple fingerboard features a comfortable 12″ radius, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and classic dot inlays, providing smooth bends and easy navigation across the neck.

At the heart of the Baretta Special is a high-output open-coil Alnico V humbucker in the bridge position. Designed to deliver punchy lows, articulate highs, and aggressive midrange bite, it produces the powerful crunch and sustain that defined countless rock recordings of the era. A simple master volume control keeps operation straightforward, allowing you to easily shape your gain and dynamics.

The guitar’s unmistakable ’80s-inspired aesthetic is completed by a matching painted headstock, black hardware, and classic Kramer styling. Reliable Kramer Deluxe die-cast tuners and a synchronized tremolo bridge provide dependable tuning stability and precise intonation while allowing expressive vibrato effects.
