A Golden Dual-bucker for Kramer's 50th
Aptly finished for Kramer's golden anniversary, the 50th Anniversary SM-1 HH brings celebratory styling, a fast feel, and dual premium EVH-inspired humbuckers to the brand's beautiful mahogany-bodied double-cut model. Kramer's K-speed SlimTaper C profile and a mahogany neck-through design provide a solid platform for expression, complemented by a mother-of-pearl diamond-inlaid ebony fingerboard. Down at the body, two Kramer Eruption Pro humbuckers deliver twice the firepower of the standard SM-1 H, while a coil-splitting mini toggle switch waits patiently to help achieve any shredding extreme your heart can conjure. Fortified with the resilience of a Floyd Rose 1000 series tremolo and locking nut, the 50th Anniversary SM-1 HH infuses fiery expressiveness into every occasion with flawless dependability. Finalized with fingerboard binding, black knurled knobs, die-cast tuners, and commemorative Gold attire, the Kramer 50th Anniversary SM-1 HH is a true force to be reckoned with.

Sleek feel with ferocious command
From first wield to decades down the line, the impeccable feel of the 50th Anniversary SM-1 HH will encourage confident, commanding performances every time you pick it up. Its deeply double-cut mahogany body features a matching neck-through slab of mahogany, carved to Kramer's K-speed SlimTaper C profile for a comfortable grip. Overtop, a 24-fret ebony fingerboard with sharp mother-of-pearl diamond inlays enhances playability and adds top-tier sustain. Even subtle top beveling at the cutaways provides additional room and comfort for upper-fret access, giving lead lines as much attention as rhythm work.
Sizzling-hot Kramer Eruption Pro humbuckers
Tapping, sweep-picked arpeggios, marathon legato runs — the 50th Anniversary SM-1 HH was built for every show-off technique in the shred book. It serves up tone that really cooks, thanks to its duet of super-hot Eruption Pro humbuckers. Designed by Gibson USA Luthier Jim DeCola, Eruption Pros are purpose-built to unleash the fiery tone you need for regular high-octane performance. These pickups aren't all about scorched-earth volume, though. They contain just enough brown-sound-inspired character to keep things from getting out of hand. Finally, the 50th Anniversary SM-1 HH features a Master Volume, a Master Tone, a coil-splitting mini toggle for the bridge pickup, and a 3-way pickup selector — more than enough controls to deliver authentic Van Halen-isms and beyond.
Floyd Rose tremolo for twisting, bending, and dive-bombing
Do you dive-bomb? Shriek? Squeal? Flutter? Of course you do! Otherwise, you wouldn’t be on Sweetwater.com looking at shred machines like the 50th Anniversary SM-1 HH. Similar to other high-performance solidbody electric guitars, this model comes equipped with a rock-solid Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking trem, along with a rear-mounted locking nut. It can be used for subtle vibrato or full-blown dive-bombs — the choice is yours. Either way, you’ll experience the same response and tuning stability that you’d expect from a Floyd Rose. Whether you use or abuse it, you’ll have trouble knocking this axe out of tune.
