The Brash and Bold Baretta Reemerges
It has been nearly 40 years since its debut, and the Kramer Baretta continues to turn heads with its retro-cool aesthetic and hard-rocking tone. Most notably wielded by the late-great Eddie Van Halen, the Baretta's single-pickup design and Floyd Rose locking tremolo made it a must-have for shredders needing a stripped-down solution for gigs. The modern Baretta delivers more of the same screaming tone and effortless playability, delivered through a single Seymour Duncan JBTM humbucker and a genuine Floyd Rose. From its maple body to the maple neck and the fingerboard, the Baretta's tonewoods are thoroughly top notch, sturdy and sleek in the hands while adding sonic brightness and tight, beefy lows. Throw on the whammy bar, and you can bend and dive all night in perfect pitch, courtesy of the Floyd Rose's double-locking system. In need of some serious sonic heat? Add the Kramer Baretta to your collection for stellar tone in any setting!
Simple electronics, screaming tone
To deliver the same ferocity and exquisite tone as the original model, Kramer outfitted the Baretta with a single Seymour Duncan JBTM humbucker with classy zebra-style coils. This retro-inspired pickup dishes out the beloved sound of a classic hot-rodded humbucker, with plenty of sustain, harmonics, and distortion on tap for all your rock and metal needs. Even better, the Baretta boasts a push-pull volume pot to go between series and parallel, unlocking an entirely new sonic palette to explore when crafting your signature sound.
Dive into oblivion with Floyd Rose
Naturally, a Baretta wouldn't be complete without a hard-working tremolo system in tow. Kramer knows this all too well: they equipped the Baretta with a Floyd Rose locking tremolo to match the wild bending and squealing achieved with a vintage original. Sweetwater guitarists commonly employ Floyd Rose tremolos, thanks to their wide-ranging versatility and incredible stability. They allow for everything from subtle warbles to deep-sea dives, and you don't have to worry about your instrument going out of tune.
